The Shure SM7dB is a professional cardioid dynamic microphone that combines the legendary SM7B sound with a built-in ultra-low-noise active preamp. Designed for podcasting, broadcasting, streaming, voice-over, studio vocals and music production, the SM7dB offers selectable +18 dB or +28 dB of transparent gain, eliminating the need for external inline preamps in most recording setups. A bypass switch allows the microphone to operate exactly like the original SM7B, giving users the flexibility to choose between passive and active operation.
