QUESTION for any audio engineers/sound aficionados/podcast savants on Nostr: will there be a significant/noticeable difference switching from a Shure MV7 USB mic plugged directly into my Mac to a Shure SM7B + mixer/interface (e.g. RODECaster Pro)?

I tried out the Shure SM7dB (the one with built-in pre-amp, not the standard SM7B,) plugged into my Mac via XLR-to-USB adapter, but I found the pre-amp added a ton of background buzz (maybe a shitty adapter?) and I still liked the sound on my old MV7… so I’m going to return the SM7dB, but I’m wondering if it’s worth it to splurge on a standard SM7B + mixer/interface or if I should just stick with my trusty MV7 setup with USB connection to Mac… For anyone using an SM7B: do you like it? What mixer do you recommend?

The SM7B is not that much more expensive than the MV7, but buying a decent quality mixer makes it a lot pricier… Still just a one man show here so trying to figure out if I should just bite the bullet and upgrade… Any advice greatly appreciated.
