Hey everyone, 👋

I own an Apollo Twin X Duo Gen 2 and I want to buy a Shure SM7B.

My question is: should I get the normal SM7B or the newer SM7dB with the built-in Cloudlifter?

I know (and most people say) the Apollo should have enough gain for the normal SM7B, but I’ve heard on some threads that when you turn the gain up a lot, it can get a bit noisy.

So I’m wondering if the SM7dB would be the better choice, because I could use less gain on the Apollo and maybe get a cleaner sound. I don’t care about the price difference tbh.

Does anyone here have experience with this setup?

Thanks in advance!
