Yamaha AG06 & Shure SM7B | Setup & Demo

In this video, we show you how to setup and connect the Shure SM7B to the Yamaha AG06 Audio Mixer. We also test to see if a Cloudlifter is required. You can hear the microphone at 3:36

In my opinion, you don't need the Cloudlifter if you have good mic placement and are able to speak loudly. If you're softspoken, you may need the extra gain from the Cloudlifter though.

These videos on the AG06 are really well done. The format, the duration, the side by side views. And really clear information delivered properly. Nice work !

1st time watcher of this channel, i must admit the host is great at explaining and breaking things down to us newbie..

[AnfoFlash]

The hiss was lower with the in-line pre-amp,
I'm considering purchasing a AG06 however I have a 200 ohms microphone and so will use a pre-amp but even still I've heard random noise can occur but almost no one was able to give a clear answer

Great videos covering many interfaces and mixers, it gave me some insight

[zolisomi]

Hi Jordan! I recently finded your channel and keep coming back :)
To be honest, I dont hear lot of difference. Just a slight. I think the cloudlifter's noise added to the input noise and amped as well. Even if it is very low. If that little Yamaha can handle the gain beast, it can handle anything.

Hi Jordan! This was very didactic and helpful! I have an AG03, not an 06, would you say for the purposes of this test, they are similar? Meaning, I can buy a sm7b and expect these same or similar results?
Many thanks!

Can't wait for the video podcasting with this mixer. Your videos are great.

[AcesClipz]

I’ve been using the AG06 for some years now but still don’t understand the difference between the 2 gain nobs for the mic.

[axefromrussia]

Thank you very much!
Please take a video and on Yamaha AG + Rode Podmic.

[rodrigomoralesortega]

excellent video, I congratulate you. Greetings from Chile!

[jamesbelloofficial]

Hello, can i ask what is the right software for yamaha ag03? The one with the left side of your video “audio 1”? First time to purchase my yamaha & shure for livestreaming🙏🏻 i also hear hizz sound i thought it’s not normal coz i’ve used other brands mixer without hizz sound. Thank you

[robertomule]

Congratulation for your guides, they are really helpful. One question: don't you need an headphones amplifier for the 250 OHM headphones???

[KaylaRivera]

Wondering if anyone has experienced the mixer shutting off and coming back on once routed into the Cloudlifter and having the phantom power (+48V) button clicked?

[issdar]

Hey Kettner excellent video! I just picked up Yamaha Ag03 and the Rode Podmic. Really liking the setup but have to crank up the gain to make for decent levels. What's the difference from the peak indicator next to gain and peak indicator next to main levels? When peak lights up does thay indicate hitting 0db?

[takaliuang]

So I can't change efx and compression eq without connecting to computer, can I?

[realosher]

How is The RodePod mic with this audio mixer? and Is he need cloudlifter??

[paoong]

Hello my mentor. Which is better for SM7B ? This Yamaha or SSL2

[hayashikiyoi]

Hello Kettner Creative,

It could be late to ask... but I am looking for a Microphone XLR, mixer, or interfaced equipment and I am extremely new to this type of thing can I have any advice on it?

I am planning on getting Shure MV7 and AG03 Yamaha or Goxlr mini for singing through to my phone and desktop streaming from time to time is it a-okay set up or there is a better way for me.

The problem with my current setup is:
1) there is a loud fan near me
2) my friend said my voice can't be heard from time to time
3) my mixer monitoring I could hear my own voice too loud but the viewer can't hear a thing.

So I was thinking about upgrading to mid-tier because the current item I used is all budget level.





Thank you if could see my message.

[ProperChaos]

Bro these videos are a huge help... I have the Yamaha with a Rode PodMic... and really go back and forth whether or not to add a preamp... any suggestions for the PoDMic sir?

[cbsmusic]

If we connect electric guitar to first input and activate 48v, is the sound become stronger?

[jaumet]

First of all, sorry for my ignorance :) Is the sound going to the headphones digitally processed by the mixer or the PC? Because I want my audio processed by my DAC and not by the mixer. Many thanks!
