Smooth Vocal Microphone

The Shure SM7B is a professional audio microphone designed for both music and speech. It has a flat and wide-range frequency response, and its dynamic capsule provides a smooth and polished vocal sound with a rich response in the lower frequency registers. This makes it a popular choice among broadcasters and podcasters.

It features a cardioid polar pattern, bass roll-off and midrange emphasis (presence boost) controls, and 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.

• This provides you with the ability to listen to a growing selection of microphones with spoken word recordings captured in a standardized environment, with levels matched by the talented engineers at Audio Test Kitchen in its impressive reference studio.
• Audio Test Kitchen records microphones under identical conditions so you can compare them, apples to apples. The source, signal chain, and level never change. The only differences you will hear are between the microphones.

Flat, Wide-Range Frequency Response

The flat-frequency response enhances the midrange and high frequencies that are associated with the human voice.

Rejection of Electromagnetic Hum

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.

Pop Filter

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

Cardioid Polar Pattern

The classic cardioid pick-up 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 colouration, isolating the signal source helps to reduce feedback issues.
