A reborn audio icon with a built-in active preamp.
Built-in Preamp
The SM7dB has a preamp custom-designed by Shure inside, giving it enough output to work with any XLR interface. Providing up to +28dB of low-noise, flat, transparent gain, the onboard preamp preserves the mic's frequency response for a clean, classic sound. All you need is an interface or mixer offering +48V phantom power to operate the preamp. You can also choose between a boost of +18dB or +28dB from the preamp. Miking loud sound sources like a guitar cab or snare drum? Use +18dB or bypass the preamp for the original SM7B output level. Podcasting or recording quiet vocals? Select the full built-in boost of +28dB. 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.Bypass Switch
A convenient bypass mode allows you to forego the built-in preamp in case you prefer to feed the mic’s unboosted signal into your professional console or interface. The microphone will retain its great audio traits. Bypassing the preamp reverts the SM7dB to original SM7B performance.Cardioid Polar Pattern
Excellent rear-rejection and textbook cardioid pickup pattern isolates your voice from any background noise, allowing the SM7dB to capture warm, crisp audio in any environment. Ideal for less-than-ideal podcasting or streaming spaces. Just like the SM7B, the SM7dB offers multiple sound signatures using switches on the back of the microphone to suit any type of voice or instrument. Find your ideal tone by cutting the lows or boosting the presence.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
