Shure SM7B and Cloudlifter CL-1 Bundle with Antelope Audio Zen Go Synergy Core and Shure SRH840

Everything you need to start making professional recordings at home! This Vintage King exclusive bundle includes the Shure SM7B dynamic vocal mic, Cloudlifter CL-1, Antelope Audio Zen Go Synergy Core USB-C recording interface, and SRH840 professional monitoring headphones.

SHURE SM7B

The Shure SM7B is a large diaphragm, dynamic microphone that is great on every source. With the classic cardioid polar pattern, and nearly flat frequency response, SM7 series microphones have been a top choice for rock vocals, broadcasting, electric guitar cabinets, and drums, for decades.

The SM7B includes a custom yoke shock mount and captive stand nut, allowing easy installation in any broadcast or studio environment. The standard A7WS windscreen now ships with SM7B, and is removable for a more intimate recording. A close-talk windscreen is also included for broadcast or voice over.

The SM7B is built tough, but has a thin, flexible diaphragm, and three times as many turns of wire on its voice coil than the SM57/SM58, providing a very wide-range frequency response of 50 Hz - 20 kHz. Independent high pass filter, and mid-range/presence boost switches, allow you to customize the SM7B for any style of recording. With improved shielding, and air suspension shock isolation, you can easily prevent unwanted noise of electromagnetic hum from neon lighting, computer monitors, phone chargers, or other electrical devices in your recording space. SM7B is a mic locker staple in nearly every broadcast facility and recording studio around the world.

FEATURES:

• Flat, wide-range frequency response of 50 Hz - 20 kHz
• High Pass Filter and Presence Boost switches
• Improved rejection of electromagnetic hum
• Internal "air suspension" shock isolation eliminates mechanical noise transmission
• Highly effective A7WS windscreen
• Yoke mounting with captive stand nut for easy mounting and dismounting, provides precise
• control of microphone position
• Classic cardioid polar pattern
• Rugged construction and excellent cartridge protection for outstanding reliability
• Replacement cartridge: RPM106

CLOUD MICROPHONES CLOUDLIFTER CL-1

Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator is an easy to use, compact solution for common audio problems faced in the field and in the studio. Designed for all passive microphones, including ribbons, the CL-1 safely uses any standard phantom powered microphone input device to provide up to +25db of ultra-clean, transparent gain.

Cloudlifters dramatically improve the performance of passive microphone signals by driving stronger, cleaner signals over longer XLR cable runs, making them ideal for broadcast, live, and studio applications. Enclosed in a rugged steel enclosure offering excellent shielding, the CL-1 additionally has provisions for stage or stand mounting with the included strap.

Using patent pending technology that keeps the direct audio path free-and-clear of transformers, capacitors, and resistors, the CL-1 houses direct-coupled, discrete JFET circuitry that delivers world class, ultra-clean gain while preserving the natural sonic characteristics of the source.

Cloudlifters are recommended for improving the signal to noise ratio and performance of passive microphone/preamp combinations with the following:

• Recording direct into a DAW interface
• noisy or low gain preamps
• mixers/preamps that negatively impact the sound at higher gain setting
• passive ribbon microphones
• low-output dynamic microphones
• miking softer sound sources such as acoustic instruments and voice
• long cable runs (output)

FEATURES:

• Gives passive mics up to +25 dB additional active output
• Provides 2 ultra-clean gain stages using 4 hand-matched JFETs
• Easy to use self contained design requires only phantom power
• Recommended for use with all passive microphones
• Safe for all passive ribbons with no transfer of phantom
• Utilizes Patent Pending Ultra-transparent Discrete D/C JFET circuitry
• Ideal impedance loading for optimal performance @3Kohms
• Rugged, road ready and portable, for studio, stage and broadcasting
• Free lifetime limited warranty for parts and labor, with registration

ANTELOPE AUDIO ZEN GO SYNERGY CORE

The Antelope Audio Zen Go Synergy Core is a portable desktop interface that allows self-recording artists to create from virtually anywhere with technology used by award-winning producers. The device’s sound quality and processing capabilities are in a class of their own with Antelope Audio’s renowned 64-bit AFC clocking technology and the powerful, effects-packed Synergy Core onboard platform.

RISE ABOVE THE SOUND YOU KNOW

The Zen Go Synergy Core shrinks the gap in sound quality between artists with access to premium studios and home creators. The pristine sound is due to a combination of professional-grade AD/DA converters and Discrete ultra-linear preamps that share circuits with legendary American & British consoles. The stand-out sonic quality of the device would not be possible without the main pillar of the Antelope Audio sound - the 64-bit AFC™ clocking technology from the company’s high-end master clocks. It is employed in the most prestigious studios in the world and has been trusted with the scoring of some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters.

FULL PRODUCTION PACK, FROM THE GET-GO

Zen Go Synergy Core comes with 37 of the finest analog-modeled effects that will help you create stunning, sonically rich productions. Aside from the exclusive compressors, EQs and preamps, with the interface you get 22 guitar amps & cabs, a guitar tuner and a signature reverb that are ready to be applied in real time to your tracking and mixing session. The Synergy Core effects processing allows you to stack up your chain with many effects instances while monitoring through the interface without fear of overloading.

At any time, you can expand your effects collection by purchasing more classic go-to units, true rarities never before recreated in digital form, and 3rd party effects like Antares’ Auto-Tune Synergy.

CREATE FROM ANYWHERE, ANYTIME

Antelope Audio’s first bus-powered interface is optimized for ultra-low latency recording, high-resolution playback, creative beat making and podcasting from virtually anywhere. With just a USB-C cable you can power the Zen Go Synergy Core from your computer and use it to its full potential without having to carry a dedicated power supply with you. The interface can also be powered with any USB-C charger if you are away from your PC and still want to use its core functionalities.

BETTER RECORDING AND PRODUCING WORKFLOW

Every feature available to you in the interface’s Control Panel has been added to improve the important aspects of your workflow. Since DAW monitoring inevitably adds latency, you can monitor directly through the interface to reduce delay to the absolute minimum. With the routing options you can easily set-up a near-zero latency mix and stack it with your favorite Synergy Core effects without fear of overloading the onboard platform. Dedicated signal metering is available for both input and output levels on the front panel display and in the software Control Panel.

SMART CONNECTIVITY IN A SMALL PACKAGE

The two combo XLR jacks give you the flexibility to choose between Antelope's custom Discrete mic preamps, line and Hi-Z inputs, and are easily configurable via the control panel. The two TRS balanced outputs, mirrored with the two RCAs, allow you to send the signal from the professional-grade D/A converter to two separate sound systems. Use one for your main monitors and the other for a DJ mixer or any other sound system with RCA connectivity, whilst preserving sound integrity.
