Shure SM7B Cardioid Dynamic Broadcast Microphone

The Shure SM7B is one of the most respected microphones in professional audio, trusted for decades in broadcast studios, podcast setups, voice-over production, and music recording. Known for its smooth tonal balance and excellent isolation, the SM7B delivers clear, controlled vocal capture whether you're recording a podcast, streaming, producing voiceovers, or tracking studio vocals.

Developed by Shure, the SM7B has been used on countless recordings and broadcasts worldwide, including legendary sessions such as Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Its refined sound profile and outstanding off-axis rejection make it a reliable choice for professional studios and modern content creators alike.

Smooth, Natural Vocal Reproduction

The SM7B features a wide and flat frequency response of 50Hz–20kHz, designed to reproduce both speech and vocals with natural clarity. Its focused midrange and controlled high-end allow voices to sit perfectly in a mix without sounding harsh or overly bright.

Two built-in switches allow quick tonal shaping:

• Bass rolloff reduces low-frequency buildup from proximity effect and rumble.
• Presence boost adds midrange clarity and articulation for spoken word or vocals.

These selectable settings help the microphone adapt to different voices and recording environments without relying entirely on external EQ.

Ideal for Podcasting, Broadcasting and Voice-Over

The SM7B’s cardioid polar pattern captures sound directly in front of the microphone while rejecting unwanted noise from the sides and rear. This focused pickup helps reduce room reflections and background noise, making it especially useful in home studios, streaming setups, and untreated recording spaces.

Its internal air-suspension shock isolation minimizes mechanical vibrations and stand noise, while advanced electromagnetic shielding protects against interference from monitors and studio equipment.

Built for Professional Studio Use

The SM7B is designed as a low-output dynamic microphone, delivering exceptional control and reduced room noise when used with proper gain staging. For best results, it typically requires around +60 dB of clean preamp gain or a high-quality inline booster.

The microphone’s rugged aluminum and steel construction, combined with its integrated swivel yoke mount, allows precise positioning on stands or boom arms for optimal recording placement.
