Shure SM7B Cardioid Podcasting Vocal Dynamic Microphone

Whether it’s big-time broadcasting, professional podcasts, or critical studio recordings, the Shure SM7B Cardioid Podcasting Vocal Dynamic Microphone delivers smooth, warm vocals every time. This legendary dynamic microphone captures and enhances the finer details of the human voice while blocking out all distractions. Ideal for podcasting, studio recording, or any professional audio application, the SM7B’s performance is unparalleled, providing pristine, natural audio replication that professionals trust and rely on.

The SM7B operates best when connected to preamps that provide +60dB of gain, ensuring that your audio interface can deliver sufficient power for optimal performance. Featuring excellent shielding against electromagnetic hum generated by computer monitors, neon lights, and other electrical devices, the SM7B ensures that your recordings are free from unwanted noise. With an improved bracket design, this microphone offers superior stability, while the A7WS windscreen eliminates plosive sounds for close-talk applications.

The wide-range frequency response of the SM7B preserves the natural beauty of the sound it captures, while the internal "air suspension" shock isolation and pop filter eliminate mechanical noise and breathiness. The classic cardioid pattern of the SM7B is designed to reject off-axis audio, capturing the sound just as you want it with minimal coloration. With rugged construction and advanced electromagnetic shielding, the SM7B offers unbeatable durability and reliability.
