Boasting the same legendary sound that has been adored by producers, singers, podcasters, and more for decades- now with a convenient integrated preamp and all the gain on tap you could ever need, the all-new Shure SM7dB marks the rebirth of an audio icon. This latest iteration of this classic dynamic microphone allows users to get perfect vocals with any recording setup. With up to +28dB of quiet, flat, transparent gain available, this mic is perfectly suited to almost any audio interface and simplified signal chains.

Features

• Selectable preamp boost of either +18dB or +28dB of extra gain
• Flat, wide-range frequency response for exceptionally clean and natural reproduction of both music and speech
• Preamp bypass switch deactivates the preamp to revert to original SM7B performance
• Bass roll-off and mid-range emphasis (presence boost) EQ controls
• Superior rejection of electromagnetic hum, optimized for shielding against broadband interference emitted by computer monitors
• Internal “air suspension” shock isolation virtually eliminates mechanical noise transmission
• Highly effective pop filter eliminates need for any add-on protection against explosive breath sounds, even for close-up vocals or narration
• Yoke mounting with captive stand nut for easy mounting and dismounting provides precise control of microphone position
• Classic cardioid polar pattern, uniform with frequency and symmetrical about axis, to provide maximum rejection and minimum coloration of off-axis sound
• Rugged construction and excellent cartridge protection for outstanding reliability

Exceptional Performance

The SM7dB's balanced, wide-range frequency response offers stunningly clean and accurate reproductions of both instruments and vocals, and with the integrated EQ controls for bass cut and presence boost, you can tailor the performance of the mic to suit any situation. The cardioid polar pattern allows for highly focused miking and excellent rejection of bleed and ambient noise sources, while the included pop filter effectively eliminates pops and plosives in vocal performances. An internal "air suspension" shock-isolating design offers incredible isolation from mechanical and handling noise, and boasts outstanding rejection of electrical noise, hum, and broadband interference.
