A go-to mic for broadcasters, vocalists, podcasters, instruments and more, the SM7B is the answer for anyone looking for top-tier performance! The Shure SM7B is a dynamic cardioid studio mic with a smooth, flat, wide-range frequency response appropriate for virtually any professional audio applications. The SM7B features excellent shielding against electromagnetic hum generated by computer monitors, neon lights, and other electrical devices. The mic has been updated from earlier models with an improved bracket design that offers greater stability. At least 60dB of gain is recommended to get that iconic warm and balanced tone most commonly associated with the SM7B.
- Flat Audio: Wide-range frequency response for exceptionally clean and natural reproduction of both music and speech
- Presence Boost: Bass rolloff and mid-range emphasis controls with graphic display of response setting
- Hum and Noise Reduction: Improved rejection of electromagnetic hum, optimized for shielding against broadband interference emitted by computer monitors
- Pop Filter: Highly effective pop filter eliminates need for any add-on protection against explosive breath sounds, even for close-up vocals or narration
- Classic Cardioid Polar Pattern: Uniform with frequency and symmetrical about axis, to provide maximum rejection and minimum coloration of off-axis sound
