The Shure SM7B Broadcaster Package with CloudLifter CL-1 Kit from B&H includes a Shure SM7B cardioid dynamic announcer microphone, a CloudLifter CL-1 mic activator, a broadcast arm, an XLR cable, and a pack of touch-fastener straps. It can be used to capture audio for musicians, producers, and broadcasters, as well as for recording audio for You Tube videos, voiceovers, podcasts, and more.
The SM7B mic has a smooth, flat, wide-range frequency response appropriate for music and speech applications, and shielding against electromagnetic hum generated by computer monitors, neon lights, and other electrical devices.
The CloudLifter CL-1 mic activator improves the performance of passive microphones, including ribbons, and uses standard XLR mic inputs to provide up to +25dB of clean, transparent gain. It is enclosed in a rugged steel case to provide shielding.
Finally, the broadcast arm is designed to help keep your workspace clean by eliminating the clutter of microphone stands. The broadcast arm is ideal for on-air broadcast and voiceover applications as well as for home studios and podcasters.

Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator
The Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator from Cloud Microphones is a compact, single-input solution for common audio problems in the field and in the studio involving low-output passive microphones, including ribbon mics. The CL-1 uses any standard phantom-powered mixer or microphone input device to provide up to +25 dB of clean, transparent gain. This improves signal-to-noise ratio and improves 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. The CL-1 is housed in a rugged steel enclosure which offers shielding and durability. Additionally, the CL-1 has provisions for stage or stand mounting.

Auray BAI-2X Two-Section Broadcast Arm with Internal Springs and Integrated XLR Cable
The Auray BAI-2X is a two-section broadcast arm with internal springs and an integrated XLR cable. This versatile and sturdy broadcast arm is great for studio as well as home use. It's ideal for broadcast, voiceover, and podcasts.
The BAI-2X broadcast arm is designed with internal springs that provide a clean and sleek look. The internal balance springs are precision engineered to support and hold in place microphones of up to 5 lb / 2.27kg. The design also minimizes handling noise when re-positioning the arm. The broadcast arm features a standard 5/8"-27 microphone stud mount that is compatible with most shockmounts and microphone clips. The angle of the microphone stud mount can be adjusted and secured with the locking knob, and the angle is maintained when re-positioning the arm. This eliminates the need to readjust it every time the arm is moved. With an extension of up to 40 inches, and the ability to rotate the arm 360ยฐ, the BAI-2X allows for precise microphone placement.
The BAI-2X also features a heavy-duty combo mount that consists of a sturdy C-clamp and a heavy-metal desktop mount. The C-clamp is capable of fastening onto desktops up to 2.3" thick. The C-clamp's slim design minimizes the clearance needed to mount it between a desk and wall. The desktop mount detaches from the C-clamp and provides the option of permanent installation to a desktop with the mounting screws (included). A 14" riser is included for adding height to the broadcast arm in order to extend over computer or studio monitors.
