Unable to activate record button for track when using with Shure MV7+ microphone

I just tried to record a voice-over with my new mike Shure MV7 plus (https://www.shure.com/en-US/products/microphones/mv7?variant=MV7%252B-K) in Premiere CC and I can't activate any track for recording. When I click on the "R" button on any track in the audio track mixer, it just won't activate. However, I activating the "R" button in the audio track mixer works just fine with any other microphone connected to my Mac Studio M2 . I DID choose the microphone correctly under "settings - audio devices". I/O Buffer is set to 512, sample rate to 48000, output routed to "Adobe Desktop-Audio". I tried playing around with the buffer but that doesn't change anything. The sample rate can't be changed. 

Surprisingly, the microphone works fine with any other app INCLUDING Adobe Audition. 

I use the latest version of Premiere - 24.6.1 (build 2) - and MacOs Sonoma 14.7. 

CAN YOU PLEASE HELP?
