Electromagnetic shielding and simple adjustments
The Shure SM7B dynamic microphone eliminates hum from computer monitors and other studio equipment. Adjust the bass rolloff and presence bump of your sound. With a comfortable weight of 765 g, the SM7B is fully protected by a solid metal shell, a shield that immunizes it against magnetic radiation generated by mobile phones, speakers or neon lights. Which neutralizes interference and parasitic noise. In addition, it benefits from internal pneumatic isolation that almost completely attenuates mechanical handling noise. It comes with a first classic windscreen, and with a second, called A7WS, specially designed for close-up capture, which drastically attenuates breathing noise, even in the case of voices with low volume.

A professional build quality
With a dynamic design, the SM7B dynamic microphone has a large capsule that gives it great sensitivity. This explains why it also perfectly reproduces this atmosphere characteristic of FM voice recordings, warm and dynamic, with beautiful precise bass. For easy placement, it is mounted on a solid articulated clamp with a standard microphone stand adapter, which ensures its stability of adjustment in all circumstances.

Uncompromising characteristics
With a wide frequency response curve, from 50 Hz to 16,000 Hz, but also excellent dynamic homogeneity across the entire spectrum, the SM7B supports high sound pressures, which makes it very effective for the recovery of instruments at high volume. It thus has a sensitivity of -59 dBV/Pa. Its very pronounced cardioid directivity further specifies the purity of the captures, ensures ideal focus and a great influx of details thanks to the effective rejection of off-axis sounds. Finally, it has a bass attenuator and a midrange amplifier, switchable by a switch: totally essential for the voice!

Michael Jackson's Thriller Effect
Over the last 30 years, the SM7 has found its place in recording studios. Take Michael Jackson's exceptional album Thriller, for example. Quincy Jones and studio engineer Bruce Swedien used an SM7 for most of Michael Jackson's vocals. It was a brave choice. First of all, Michael Jackson's previous album, Off the Wall, was already the first solo album to have 4 singles in the top 10 of the charts (including a Grammy Award for Don't Stop Til You Get Enough). So the bar was set very high. But Jackson was determined and wanted to do even better. That's why he brought together the same production team. The resulting album Thriller (on vinyl at the time) simply became the best-selling album of all time with 110 million copies sold.
