Hi Fla.

Very briefly: The interface you mentioned can basically work well with this microphone.

But I don't know your definition of "flawless" and of course there are even better (and more expensive) interfaces. What you can say about the SM7B is that it has a relatively low output level. To put it simply: the signal that arrives at the interface from the microphone is quiet and therefore needs to be properly amplified. The preamp, which is integrated into your interface, is responsible for this. Preamps are sometimes almost mystical devices in pro audio and can cost several (tens of) thousands of francs if, for example, they are particularly low-noise or do not colour the signal even at high levels, or even if they do. For around CHF 200.00, your interface contains not only a preamp but also a converter that converts the analogue signal into a digital signal (and vice versa). So of course you can expect too much.

But basically it all works. Have fun and success with your purchase!
