Greetings from a Shure employee in Chicago. What a fantastic video. Your detailed research and engaging presentation made this story feel so fresh. I'm personally humbled by the time you took in making this and looking forward to watching more on your channel.
One of my first microphones was snagged from an old 60s phone. I could also use it for finding live wires in the walls. Catch as catch can. Thanks for the vid!
I love this style of video! I've got three different Shure mics in my own cabinet, and they are among my favorite dynamic mics. My SM7B gets the most use at my desk, while an SM58 always finds its way into my backpack. I'll occasionally swap out the SM7B for a RØDE NT1, but at least 80% of my recordings are done on the SM7B. I just love the warmth it adds to my voice.
Shared on my FaceBook. Mic's, radio waves, etc are tech magic to me. It's great to share the planet with engineers and research techs. Just saying, great video. Lots to follow up on.
Good work on this! I first used an SM7B doing weekends at a Rock radio station. I feel in love and bought my own for podcast decades later. The RE20 at the station I worked at during the week was fine, but it just wasn't that!! -Stew, Total Babble Podcast
No one cares, or listens to your podcast. I guarantee that without having to research it. Also the reason you probably dont like the RE20 is because its neutral and you probably have a squeaky beta male voice. Imagine working at a radio station and not using a channel strip to bring out your mic's potential instead you opt for the mic that adds low end to your squeaker voice. Incredible
Nice one Aiden. An interesting history indeed. I confess I never looked at the mics we used at the BBC, not that it was the 1930s when I was there! 85 to 2005. And there were always people behind the glass doing their thing. I guess in my own set up I'm still trying to get as close to that BBC radio sound as I can.
Don't pretend like most of their unearned acclaim the past 10 years isn't because Joe Rogan featured them on his podcast. The cavalcade of mouth breathers who saw that distinct mic and asked "Durrrhurr what microphone is that durrrrrrr" and then bought a 450 dollar microphone to make fart ASMR videos with. Shure are great mics that are bought and purposed by idiots for their podcasts no body cares about.
This is really cool! Who would have thought that their beginning would lead to today's offerings, etc.

I really like hearing about the history, well done!
Thanks for your take @Dark Corner 🤘🏼

This video just made my day. Your research and story telling skills is legendary. I dont have one now but looking to get one soon.
Aw thanks for the high praise!!

Cheers and thanks!!
The cost of a Model T being about $250 and a Model A $500 at the time gives some context to a $50 mic XD
Good work on this!

Yeah...classic sound
"Infamous" isn't a compliment.😉
Great video
Thanks!!
👍
I wonder if the biggest SM7B influencer of all time isn't Joe Rogan after all.
Oh no doubt.
Probably a nice deal in place to make sure he doesn't change as well
@@DarkCornerStudios I wish he would try the EV RE20. I think Art Bell used that as well.
@@Thestripper1 nah...it's too much part of his brand
