The Shure SM7dB is a cardioid dynamic microphone with a Shure-designed built-in preamp providing up to +28dB of low-noise, flat, transparent gain ideal for lower-output interfaces and simplified audio chains. The SM7dB delivers warm and smooth audio for vocal and studio applications. Additional features include a preamp bypass switch, adjustable bass roll-off and presence boost, electromagnetic hum shielding, internal shockmounting and an external windscreen to ensure clear and consistent audio reproduction. The SM7dB delivers the familiar warm tone adored by broadcasters, vocalists and content creators alike. Shure engineers have painstakingly ensured that it has the same sound signature as the original SM7B.



Built-in PreampThe 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 SwitchA convenient bypass mode allows you to forego the built-in preamp in case you prefer to feed the mic’s unboosted signal
