SM7dB DYNAMIC VOCAL MICROPHONE WITH BUILT-IN PREAMP

OVERVIEW
The SM7dB is a cardioid dynamic microphone with a Shure-designed built-in preamp providing up to +28 dB of low-noise,
flat, transparent gain ideal for lower-output interfaces and simplified audio chains. Delivers warm and smooth audio for vocal
and studio applications. Preamp bypass switch, adjustable bass roll-off and presence boost, electromagnetic hum shielding,
internal shock mounting, and external windscreen ensure clear and consistent audio reproduction.

How It Works
 
The SM7dB has a built-in Shure-designed preamp, giving it enough oomph to work with any XLR interface. Providing up to +28 dB of gain, the preamp preserves the mic’s frequency response for that iconic sound. All you need is an interface or mixer offering +48V of phantom power to operate the preamp. Don’t need the preamp? Flick the switch to the left to “bypass” and get original SM7B performance.

Why It's Better
 
All the gain you need.
Never again worry if an audio interface might lack the necessary gain for great results. The SM7dB frees you from clunky in-line preamps and other accessories, while ensuring you get that classic SM7 tone no matter where you’re recording.

The sound you always wanted.
Excellent rear-rejection and textbook cardioid pick-up pattern isolates your voice from background noise, ideal for less-than-ideal recording spaces.

Boost, or no boost.
Miking loud sound sources like a guitar cab? Use +18dB or bypass the preamp. Podcasting or recording quiet vocals? Select the full boost of +28dB.

Quality That's In The Details
 
Shure engineers have painstakingly ensured that it has the same sound signature as the original SM7B.

Whether you’ve activated the preamp or not, you’ll get the same great detail in your recordings from a proven dynamic cartridge and frequency range of 50 to 20,000Hz.

Hear all the highs and lows for truly natural-sounding audio.

The SM7dB includes a custom Shure-designed built-in preamp with technology licensed from Cloud. The preamp has been created from the ground up and tuned by Shure’s expert engineers specifically for the SM7dB to ensure the iconic SM7 sound is able to live on inside the SM7dB; unchanged, unaltered and here to stay for generations to come.

FEATURES
• Built-in active preamp providing either +18dB or +28dB of extra gain delivers levels suitable for any interface.
• Flat, wide-range frequency response for exceptionally clean and natural reproduction of both music and speech.
• Preamp bypass switch to revert to original SM7B performance.
• Bass roll-off and mid-range emphasis (presence boost) EQ switch controls.
• Superior rejection of electromagnetic hum, optimized for shielding against broadband interference emitted by
computer monitors.
• Internal “air suspension” shock isolation virtually eliminates mechanical noise transmission.
• Highly effective pop filter eliminates need for any add-on protection against explosive breath sounds, even for close- up
vocals or narration.
• Yoke mounting with captive stand nut for easy mounting and dismounting provides precise control of microphone position.
• Classic cardioid polar pattern, uniform with frequency and symmetrical about axis, to provide maximum rejection and
minimum coloration of off-axis sound.
• Rugged construction and excellent cartridge protection for outstanding reliability.
