This is a quick shootout comparison of the Shure SM58 and the Art D7. This comparison was requested by a commenter “Mcdovin” on the Big Mic Shootout YouTube video (geeks.link/bigmicshootout).
Hope this helps answer the question, Mcdovin.
Timecodes:
1:33 – Shootout begins
2:23 – Shootout repeats with compression
3:13 – Shootout concludes
With no processing it all the Art D7 was the hands-down winner.
The SM58 benefited the most from compression which also increased line noise considerably on both microphones. With processing, I call it a dead heat.
Nice comparison!
