Just as a quick reminder, you're not using pp on the sm7b correct, being that it is dynamic.

Apparently this SM7B need A LOT of gain.

Do you guys have a solution?

Triton Audio Fethead or Cloudlifter. $100-150.

Gives you 25db of clean extra gain so you dont have to crank your interface's gain up to the point it hisses... you are hearing the noise floor of your interface, not the mic.
