Hello fellas! I'm a bit of an audio newbie, hopefully this knowledgeable community can help me out.
I'm going to use an SM57 for PC voice recording, so I'll need a device that accepts an XLR connection and is able to plug into the computer (AI, Mixer?). There will be some, but not all too much distance between me and the mic, so I'm looking to maintain good volume even when I'm not right up against the mic. If my research is correct, it seems like the SM57 would need +60 Gain from an Audio Interface (or preamp?), but most that I've found are around +50.
Looking to spend $100 with some flexibility. Note: not interested in a Condenser microphone.
Recommendations/advice is greatly appreciated!
