Shure SM7B Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone

Broadcast and studio vocal performance with natural detail

The Shure SM7B is a professional cardioid dynamic microphone engineered for vocals, podcasting, broadcast, voice-over, streaming, and instrument recording.

Smooth, controlled sound for speech and music

Its wide-range frequency response captures natural vocal character while the cardioid pattern reduces sound from the sides and rear. Integrated air-suspension isolation helps minimize mechanical noise, and advanced electromagnetic shielding reduces hum from computers and studio equipment.
