Shure SM7DB SM7DB DYNAMIC VOCAL MICROPHONE (CARDIOID) WITH +28dB BUILT-IN ACTIVE PREAMP, BLACK
The Shure SM7dB represents an enhanced iteration of the renowned SM7B, incorporating a built-in preamp to deliver a stronger output level without requiring an inline preamp. Retaining the signature smooth, flat, and expansive frequency response of its predecessor, the SM7dB remains an esteemed choice for both music and speech applications in professional audio settings. Engineered with a dynamic capsule tailored for exceptional vocal reproduction, the microphone imparts a refined, polished vocal character with a lush response in the lower frequency range. This characteristic has garnered favor among broadcasters and podcasters seeking pristine audio quality and expressive vocal performance.
Built-In Preamp The SM7dB features a built-in preamp that is powered via 48V phantom power. The preamp can be set for +18, +28 dB, or removed from the circuit entirely via the true-bypass switch.
Cardioid Polar Pattern The classic cardioid pickup pattern is designed to reject off-axis audio, so you can sing or speak at a comfortable angle. And, it captures the sound with minimum coloration, isolating the signal source, which helps to reduce feedback issues. Rejection of Electromagnetic Hum Improved rejection of electromagnetic hum—optimized for shielding against broadband interference emitted by computer monitors. Air Suspension Shock Isolation Internal air suspension shock isolation virtually eliminates mechanical noise transmission. Pop Filter The detachable close-talk windscreen eliminates the need for any add-on protection against explosive breath sounds—even for close-up vocals or narration.
