Shure SM7dB Vocal Microphone with Streaming Adapter & Broadcast Arm Kit

Shure SM7DB Overview

The black Shure SM7dB is an updated version of the SM7B, featuring a built-in preamp for a more robust output level, eliminating the need for an inline preamp. The SM7dB offers the same smooth, flat, and wide-range frequency response for music and speech that made the original a popular choice for professional audio applications. The mic s specially engineered dynamic capsule provides a smooth, polished vocal sound with a rich response in the lower frequency registers, making the mic a favorite among broadcasters and podcasters.

Broadcast-Quality Sound

The SM7dB features a cardioid polar pattern, bass roll-off, and midrange emphasis (presence boost) controls as well as shielding against broadband interference. An internal air suspension shock isolation helps to eliminate mechanical noise transmission, and a yoke mount facilitates mounting and provides precise control of the mic position.

Built-In Preamp

The SM7dB features a built-in preamp that is powered via 48V phantom power. The preamp can be set for +18, +28 dB, or removed from the circuit entirely via the true-bypass switch.

Cardioid Polar Pattern

The classic cardioid pickup pattern is designed to reject off-axis audio, so you can sing or speak at a comfortable angle. And, it captures the sound with minimum coloration, isolating the signal source, which helps to reduce feedback issues.

Improved rejection of electromagnetic hum— optimized for shielding against broadband interference emitted by computer monitors.

Air Suspension Shock Isolation

Internal air suspension shock isolation virtually eliminates mechanical-noise transmission.

The detachable close-talk windscreen eliminates the need for any add-on protection against explosive breath sounds— even for close-up vocals or narration.

Why choose between analog or USB microphones when you can have both with the MVX2U MOTIV XLR to USB Streaming Adapter from Shure, a handy XLR 3-pin female to USB-C adapter plug that turns any XLR-based microphone into a USB mic. With 60 dB of gain, you can easily drive most microphones, including the Shure SM7B, making this adapter a vital tool in the arsenal of any recordist, content creator, or musician.

The adapter sports a USB-C output and a 3.5mm headphone jack for direct monitoring. LED indicators let you know the status of operation (green for On, yellow for Error, red for Mute). The MVX2U features automatic level adjustment right out of the box, so you don t have touch a thing for instant setup. And if that s not enough, you also get remote configuration over USB via the free MOTIV desktop app.
