Q: 1. If I use this mic with Rodecaster Pro do I need a preamp?

A: You will not need to use a separate pre-amp, however, because the SM7B is a very low gain microphone it is recommended to use a Cloud Lifter, which will increase gain by 25 dB so that you do not have to turn the gain on the Rodecaster all the way up, which will introduce noise. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1177578-REG/cloud_microphones_cl_1_cloudlifter_mic_activator.html

Q: 2. can it be used with a standard 3.5 mic plug, or if it connect to an XLR can it be used with an adapter for input to a Camcorder or DSLR camera?

Q: 5. Shure SM7B will work with the Roland R-26 recorder? Shure reports that SM7B requires a minimum of 59 dB gain. Rolnad R-26 in the specification has a -62dBu output level.

A: The DB range looks good on paper but you're going to be maxed out and get a quiet level that will make buying such a nice mic pointless. You'll need a pre-amp like a Cloudlifter or a Triton Audio Fethead in-line preamp (the cheaper option). Do NOT use phantom power on the Shure SM7B unless you want to ruin it. I use my Shure SM7B in my home studio with a DBX 286s preamp/processor. It's about $200 but it makes my audio national broadcast quality.

Q: 6. Can the SM 57 microphone plug directly into my Canon HF 100 HD video camera with a 1/8 (3.5MM) cable?

A: The Shure SM57 can be connected to the 3.5mm input of a camera. For the best sound, it is recommended to use a combination of XLR cable, and specially designed XLR to 3.5mm adapter. The Kopul LMT100 will match the low impedance output of the mic to the high impedance input of the camera. a href= http://bhpho.to/1yMIinD target= _blank http://bhpho.to/1yMIinD/a

Q: 7. Is the Shure SM48 mic compatible with the Canon Vixia HFR30 camera?
