Shure SM7dB dynamic XLR microphone for voice and recording
The Shure SM7dB builds on the familiar SM7 sound and adds a built-in preamp for extra convenience. This dynamic XLR microphone delivers up to +28 dB of flat, transparent, low-noise gain, helping you get a usable vocal signal faster for podcasting, streaming, voice-over and music.
You can switch the added preamp gain to +18 dB or +28 dB depending on your setup. If you prefer to work without active gain, the bypass switch disables the preamp and gives you the original SM7B signal.
Clear vocal reproduction with control over your sound
The flat, wide-range frequency response of the Shure SM7dB reproduces both speech and music with exceptional clarity and a natural character. For extra shaping, this vocal and speech microphone includes EQ controls with a high-pass filter and presence boost to add more focus to the midrange.
The classic cardioid polar pattern picks up sound mainly from the front and helps keep side noise out with minimal coloration. That makes this Shure microphone a strong choice in recording situations where vocal focus matters.
Built for a clean and simple audio chain
The SM7dB is made to work easily with almost any interface and to simplify your audio chain. Its shielding against electromagnetic hum is optimized for broadband interference from computer monitors, which is especially practical in streaming and desktop setups.
Internal air suspension shock isolation all but eliminates mechanical noise transfer, while the effective pop filter usually removes the need for extra protection against plosives, even at close range. The yoke mount with captive nut makes precise microphone positioning easy. At Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from people who work with recording and live gear themselves.
