SHURE SM7dB Dynamic Cardioid XLR Microphone with Built-In Preamplifier

SHURE SM7dB Dynamic Cardioid XLR Microphone uses a cardioid dynamic design for recording, streaming or live audio.

Sound The SM7dB delivers a smooth, warm sound quality, for streamers, content creators, and podcasters. Shure engineers meticulously developed it to replicate the sonic characteristics of the original SM7B vocal microphone.

Built-in Preamp The SM7dB features a Shure-designed built-in preamp with ample output for all XLR interfaces. Providing up to +28dB of low noise, flat, and stable gain, the built-in preamp preserves the microphone's frequency response, reproducing a clean, classic sound. Please note that an interface or mixer supplying +48V phantom power is required to operate the preamp.

Gain Level You can select a +18dB or +28dB boost from the preamp. When miking loud sound sources such as guitar cabinets or snare drums, select +18dB or bypass the preamp and use the original SM7B output level. For quiet recording, such as podcasting or solo streaming, select +28dB.

Bypass Switch The convenient bypass mode allows you to send the microphone's unboosted signal to a professional console or interface without using the built-in preamp. By bypassing the preamp, the SM7dB returns to its original SM7B performance.

Wide Frequency Response Whether the preamplifier is on or off, the acclaimed dynamic cartridge and frequency response of 50 to 20,000Hz help provide high-detail sound capture.

Cardioid Polar Pattern With off-axis sound rejection and a textbook cardioid polar pattern, it isolates your voice from ambient noise, capturing focused audio in varied recording spaces for broadcasting or recording.

Find your sound Like the SM7B, the SM7dB offers multiple sound signatures by switching a switch on the back of the microphone, allowing you to match any type of voice or instrument. You can find your sound by cutting the bass or boosting the presence.

Clean Up Your Desk The SM7dB has a built-in preamp, freeing you from the clutter of in-line preamps, other accessories, and cables around your PC and desk. It helps provide classic sound quality no matter where you record. It also reduces your list of essential items for on-the-go streaming by one!
