Shure SM7B Dynamic Vocal Microphone

Overview

Whether it’s big-time broadcasting, professional podcasts or critical studio recordings, this legendary dynamic microphone delivers smooth, warm vocals every time. The SM7B captures and enhances the finer details of the human voice while blocking out all the distractions. An audio icon. The SM7B is a professional dynamic microphone that operates best with preamps that provide +60dB of gain. Please ensure your audio interface can provide sufficient gain or you may find our SM7dB is a better option with a built-in preamp.
