Shure SM7B Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone
Built for broadcast booths and recording studios, the Shure SM7B is a cardioid dynamic vocal microphone with a smooth, flat, wide-range response for both speech and music.
Two switches on the back shape the sound: a bass rolloff that lowers hum from HVAC and traffic, and a presence boost that brightens the midrange for vocal clarity. Shielding against electromagnetic hum keeps noise from computer monitors, neon lights, and other electrical devices out of the signal.
It comes set up for a boom mount, and the bracket turns around for use on a stand. Along with its standard windscreen, it comes with the larger A7WS, which cuts plosives further for close-talk work.
The SM7B’s output is −59 dBV/Pa, so it pairs with a preamp that offers more than 60 dB of gain, or with an inline booster. It suits radio, television, narration, location recording, and studio vocals and instruments.
