Thanks for posting this. I was on the air at a radio station... and our sister station had this Shure mic. (We had an RE-20 on our side). I always wanted to hear my voice through the Shure SM-5B, but never got the opportunity. The station moved to new studios, and can you believe they scrapped this mic? I almost crapped when I found that out. (Well, they scrapped the RE-20 too... so much for value thinking).
Wow, thats one ridiculously GIANT microphone. Sounds great too!

Thanks for posting! I've read about the 5B, but never heard it. What's the rest of your signal chain, please?

My computer is right next to the wall AC unit and that's what I am sure you hear, it hot here in the desert.

What preamp are you using with your SM5B? I can hear quite a bit of rumble and a bit of hiss in the background.
