Interface for Dynamic Mic like SM7?

Forums

I am recording with a Macbook Pro, and thinking about getting a SM7B for hip hop vocals. I'm kind of new to this, and I know that dynamic mics don't need phantom power and all of that like condensers do... so, this may be a dumb question, but does that mean that there's a cheaper option for me as far as an interface goes without sacrificing too much sound quality?

Dynamic Mics

Forums

Hey Guys,

The Mic i've been using for live applications just doesn't seem to be cutting it. I primarly use an AT814a and also a Shure SM57.

The problem with the 57 is it picks up too much poping of P's and if i stand back that just creates other problems.

The AT814 seems too muffled and dirty, maybe its just the sound guy running the board...

Delta 1010 -- Can I use dynamic mics w/o pre?

Forums

I'm considering buying a Delta 1010 to record my band, but I heard that you can't plug any mic whatsoever into the non-preamped (aka 6 of the 8 ) inputs on the delta. Is this true? I always thought dynamic mics didn't need power...

If it is though, what kind of hardware could I get that would preamp 6 mics separately?
