This is a video to compare the Audio Technica AT2035 and my all time favourite the Shure SM7B. Both XLR mics, but with quite a price difference. The Audio Technica mic is also a condenser mic, while the Shure is dynamic, but you'll be surprised by the sound quality.

The Audio Technica AT2035 is a great mic considering the money - see my full review here - Audio Technica AT2035 unboxing and re...

I used this mic for most of the voice over of this video, along with the comparison using the GoXLR.

The Shure SM7B is a VERY expensive mic. But for good reason as it's a studio quality microphone that's been used the world over by musicians and professional recording artists. As you'll see though, it delivers incredible sound, especially when paired with the GoXLR Mini pre-amp.

I've been using this setup for my recent video voice overs and for Twitch Streaming and it's been magnificent.

Highlights of the Shure SM7B include:
Dynamic microphone with Cardioid polar pattern
50Hz-20kHz frequency response
150 ohms output impendace
XLR connection

It's a really tight pick up pattern which needs to be set close to your mouth to get the best results. I'd recommend the Blue Compass boom arm as a solution - https://www.bluemic.com/en-us/product...
