Bought Shure SM7B mic; now I need a preamp, booster, or both?
Post Body

Hi, all! I'm new to the world of mics and audio, and I'm hoping for some help.

I recently bought my first nice microphone, the Shure SM7B. From reviews, I knew I'd need more gain to utilize the mic, but I'm adding equipment as I go. Here's what I have...

  1. The Pyle PMXU43BT Audio Interface. https://www.amazon.com/Pyle-Professional-Interface-Bluetooth-Streaming/dp/B071L66DD8?th=1
  2. Shure SM7B Microphone.
  3. Canon EOS M50 DSLR Camera. https://www.usa.canon.com/shop/p/eos-m50

Doing mostly spoken voice recordings video, podcast/content creation. My current setup is mic > Pyle Audio Interface > Camera. As expected, there's a loud buzzing when I turn the gain up enough to hear the microphone.

Two solutions I'm looking at...

  1. Behringer MIC2200 V2 2-channel Tube Microphone Preamp. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MIC2200V2--behringer-mic2200-v2-2-channel-tube-microphone-preamp
  2. Cloudlifter CR-1 booster. https://www.cloudmicrophones.com/cloudlifter-cl-1

Am I thinking of what I need correctly? Will one of these do, are both of them needed, or should I be looking at something else entirely?

Thanks in advance for any help with tools needed, setup changes, or anything else!
