Tonal Profile

Front-address broadcast dynamic in the SM7B mould, sold into the same podcast rack. Analogue only: no converter, no switches, no software.

Gain Staging Advice

-55.9 dBV/Pa is SM7B territory: close speech needs about 55-60 dB of clean gain, which is at the top of what a two-input interface has and the reason inline boosters are sold next to microphones like this. PreSonus publishes no output impedance for it, so that field stays empty.
