Shure SM7B Microphone

Characterised as a dynamic mic with smooth, flat, wide-range frequency response, the Shure SM7B is a truly multi-functional audio tool suited to recording both music and vocal audio. Integrating a cardioid polar pattern, bass roll-off, and mid-range push controls, the SM7B actively shields itself against broadband interference. Further to this, an integrated air suspension shock isolation benefits the elimination of mechanical noise. This consists of electromagnetic hums from computers, as well as more general background studio noise. The tactile yoke mount also facilitates key mounting and precise control, whilst the detachable close-up windscreen minimises plosives and heavy breaths.

FAQs:

Does this come with a stand?

The Shure SM7B does not come with a stand, this must be purchased separately.

Is a pre-amp required when used with a Rodecaster Pro?

When using the Shure SM7B mic with a Rodecaster Pro, a pre-amp is not required. However, the SM7B is a very low gain microphone and a Cloud Lifter is recommended. This actively increases gain by 25 dB so that you do not have to turn up the gain on the Rodecaster, which could cause an increase in background noise pickup.

Does the Shure SM7B Microphone come with the pictured wind screen and shock mount?

The Shure SM7B does come equipped with a large windscreen, as well as the pictured shock mount.

Is an XLR cable included with the Shure SM7B mic?

The Shure SM7B mic does not include an XLR lead; this must be purchased separately.

How is it most effective to power this Shure microphone?

The Shure SM7B is powered either via 48v phantom power from your audio interface or mic pre-amp system.
