Shure SM7B – Dynamic XLR Broadcast Microphone
The Shure SM7B is an end-address dynamic microphone for podcasts, voiceovers, streaming, vocals and studio work. Its cardioid pickup, tone switches and integrated yoke give you practical control over how it fits into a recording desk.
The original SM7B uses a passive output. Plan the microphone, interface gain and speaking distance together for a controlled voice sound without assuming that an extra booster is always needed.
Explore the Features
FEATURE 01
Cardioid Dynamic Voice Capture
Speak toward the end of the microphone and keep a repeatable distance. The cardioid pattern favours sound from the front, helping you manage the balance between your voice and the room; it does not remove every unwanted background sound.
FEATURE 02
Passive Design, Deliberate Gain Matching
SM7B does not contain a powered gain booster. Choose a preamp with enough clean gain for your voice and distance. An inline booster is optional when the source and interface call for it, not automatically required in every setup.
FEATURE 03
50Hz–20kHz Frequency Range
The wide response suits speech, vocals and a range of instrument sources. Choose placement first, then use the tone switches to adapt the recording rather than assuming one setting fits every voice.

FEATURE 04
Bass Roll-Off Switch
Reduce low-frequency emphasis when a close speaking position or the room adds more bass than you want. Compare the result at a matched listening level to keep the voice full without sounding boomy.
FEATURE 05
Presence Emphasis
The presence setting brings extra midrange focus when you want articulation to stand out. It is a useful option for speech and certain vocals, while the flat setting remains available for a different source or mix.
FEATURE 06
Internal Shock Isolation
The internal air-suspension design reduces mechanical vibration reaching the cartridge. A stable arm and sensible cable routing still matter when the desk carries a keyboard or other moving equipment.
FEATURE 07
Windscreen for Close Speech
The fitted windscreen helps manage breath sounds when speaking near the microphone. Angle the microphone slightly off the direct breath path if plosives remain distracting.
FEATURE 08
Electromagnetic Hum Shielding
Shielding helps resist interference from equipment such as computer displays. Keep audio and power cables organised and investigate the source of any persistent noise rather than treating shielding as a cure for every electrical problem.
FEATURE 09
Yoke Mount for Precise Positioning
The integrated yoke makes it easy to angle the microphone toward your mouth while keeping the stand outside the main working area. Use an arm that supports the total microphone and accessory weight.
FEATURE 10
Balanced XLR Audio Path
Connect the XLR output to a microphone preamp, interface or mixer. This is not a USB microphone and does not provide a headphone-monitoring socket on the microphone itself.
FEATURE 11
Two Windscreens and a Switch Cover
Alongside its standard windscreen, SM7B includes the A7WS close-talk windscreen for extra breath protection and a warmer close-mic presentation. The RPM602 cover protects the rear tone switches once you have chosen the settings.
Build Around Your Voice and Interface
The Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen offers up to 69dB of microphone gain. Combine it with a suitable Klotz XLR cable and a stable Shure Gator microphone arm. If you want gain boost inside the microphone, compare Shure SM7dB. Set the chain for your actual speaking distance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it need phantom power?
SM7B itself does not require phantom power. A separate active inline booster may require it.
Can I connect it directly to USB?
No. Use a suitable XLR microphone interface or mixer connected to the computer.
Do I need an inline booster?
Only if your microphone level and interface gain require one. Test the microphone at a sensible speaking distance with your interface first.
Which side do I speak into?
Speak toward the end of the microphone through the windscreen, not into the side of the body.
Will it remove keyboard noise?
No microphone removes all room noise. Close voice placement, the cardioid pattern, microphone direction and desk setup help manage the balance.
How is it different from SM7dB?
SM7dB includes selectable +18dB or +28dB preamp gain with 48V power. SM7B has no built-in powered preamp.
