Just received a pair of brand new SM7b's and while waiting for my fetheads to arrive I decided to test them out straight into the mixer with gain practically at max. I purchased these for my podcast because of all the great reviews and because I see so many of my favorite shows use them. One issue right out of the gate is that they seem to not have any "isolation." They are advertised as having "air suspension" but when I even slightly touch the boom arm or mic to reposition it I can hear the hand. even if I bump the table its mounted to i hear it. When I use the low fq roll off it helps some but is still noticeable. Is this normal? I had Sm58's previously and even with no isolation/suspension they did better with hadeling noise. I see people handle them on shows all time and I typically dont hear anything. Like Joe Rogan for example.
Is this normal?
