OK, it’s a low sensitivity dynamic mic. Many mic preamps are designed for “hotter” condenser microphones and those preamps typically top out at 50dB gain.
So, I appreciate the concern, especially before dropping big bucks on a mic and maybe an unnecessary pre.
It may not apply, but I use an SM57 with Genos and don’t seem to be lacking for gain. I’m not sure how the SM7B and SM57 compare as to sensitivity.
