Shure designed the SM7dB active dynamic microphone to capture the timbre and quality of the human voice in the studio, but you can also use it for recording louder sources like drums or guitar amps. Previous SM7 versions require a robust outboard preamp to deliver an optimum signal. This latest version features a built-in preamp perfectly matched to its needs. That means you can get fantastic sound just by plugging the mic into your mixer or recording interface. And it's switchable, so you can use your favorite external preamp if you want. Versatile features and robust build This mic's bass roll-off and presence boost controls let you tailor its response to different voices. A built-in pop filter helps reduce "popped Ps" and other distortion caused by vocal plosives. Special shielding protects against the interference generated by computers and other electronic devices in the studio. It also comes with a windscreen and a custom wired mount for easy, stable placement.
Get ready to rock with this updated legendary microphone. With its built-in preamp, it eliminates the hassle of an external mic booster, providing all the gain you need right out of the box. This allows for strong, clear audio with minimal setup, perfect for anyone who wants top-notch performance without the extra clutter.
