Description

Description

The SM7B from SHURE is a dynamic cardioid microphone with a frequency range of 50 to 20,000 Hz, suitable for radio or television productions, offering protection from electromagnetic field noise.

How it works

The wide frequency response of the SM7B preserves the natural beauty of the sound it captures. With its detailed sound profile, words may travel far, but they always reach their destination with quality and intact clarity.

Why is it good?

The shock isolation of the air suspension and the pop filter eliminate both mechanical noises and breathing. Thus, words pass through and the rest stay out of the mix.

Uniform capture
The classic cardioid pattern is designed to reject off-axis sound. So, you can sing or speak at a comfortable angle and the microphone will capture the sound just as you want it, with minimal coloration.

Shield your sound
The advanced electromagnetic shielding protects against hum caused by computer screens and other studio equipment.

The Shure SM7B is the industry standard for podcasting and broadcast vocals, however it is an analog XLR microphone and cannot operate on its own. The most critical thing you need to know is that it requires a lot of gain. That’s why Audio Interfaces are essential for connecting it to your computer. Of course, you will need at least two XLR Cables (one from the microphone to the preamp and one from the preamp to the interface). Finally, due to its design, the microphone performs best when suspended from Microphone Arms, while for proper monitoring during recording, a pair of closed-back Studio Headphones will prevent sound from ‘bleeding’ back into your recording.

    Every person has a different voice and every voice sounds better on different microphones.
    The SM7B has the title of "perfect" while there is no perfect microphone and it certainly is not itself a perfect microphone either.

    While it is a very good microphone, I think its sound is more often a "problem" than the best result someone could have. If you have tried it and liked its sound, then obviously go for it! If not, I consider it an expensive risk.
    Personally, I switched it for the Lewitt 440 Pure, an incredibly better result for MY VOICE.

    The product is very good and you will also see very good reviews wherever you read. However, compared to the condenser microphone I have at half the cost, it has less clarity in voice purity. Of course, anyone who chooses this microphone chooses it because they want to "pull" less noise in environments with inadequate sound insulation or to speak very close without distortions and intense proximity. The build quality is one of the best you can find. I give it 4 stars only because of the cost. I believe it could cost less, even with compromises in build quality.

    Edit: After at least 1 year together in a personal recording studio, I have only good things to say. No matter which condenser microphone I worked with, none of them had such a high-quality result in terms of noise reduction. I feel like I love it and wouldn't change it except for the electrovoice re-20, not for the quality but for the last one's ability to adjust the sound intensity with small head rotations. If you don't move much in your chair, then the Shure SM7B is the best you can get for a studio with low or moderate sound insulation and with strong noises in the mouth. It's no coincidence that M. Jackson used it for the legendary album Thriller.

    However, you should know that it requires a lot of dB gain. I have connected it to the golden age pre 73 dlx preamp, which has 80dB gain. In order not to work at maximum with resulting noise, I have used the Triton Audio FetHead. Now there is a lot of amplification with a very clean result without needing to stick to the microphone to have sufficient intensity in the DAW and without needing to digitally amplify the signal.
