Shure SM7dB Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone with Active Preamp

The Shure SM7dB reimagines a studio legend, integrating the revered sound of the SM7B with a custom-designed, built-in active preamp. This microphone is engineered for creators—podcasters, streamers, and vocalists—who require the classic warm and smooth vocal tone without the complexity of a separate microphone booster.

The integrated preamp, powered by +48V phantom power from your audio interface, provides a choice of +18dB or +28dB of clean, transparent gain. This ensures your signal is strong enough for any recording setup, delivering the clarity and presence the SM7 family is known for. Its cardioid polar pattern effectively isolates the voice from unwanted room noise, while the internal air suspension shock mount and built-in pop filter work to minimize disruptive plosives and mechanical vibrations. For added versatility, a bypass switch allows you to use the SM7dB as a standard passive microphone if desired.
