The Shure SM7dB Active Dynamic Microphone is a dynamic vocal microphone with a built-in preamp. It is designed to deliver smooth, warm vocals with plenty of clean gain, making it ideal for direct interface recording or simple vocal chains. The preamp offers either 18 or 28 dB of boost, as well as a bypass mode for original SM7B-like performance.
In addition to the built-in preamp, the SM7dB also provides EQ controls with bass roll-off and presence boost controls. This allows for adjustable tonality and helps the microphone cut through the mix.
One of the key features of the SM7dB is its improved resistance to electrical noise, hum, and interference. This ensures cleaner and clearer audio quality.
This new model is versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications. It can be used for professional studio recording, home use, podcasting, and content creation such as streaming or video voiceover.

The SM7dB takes a faithful approach to the popular SM7B microphone, known for its warm and rich vocal sound. It adds an in-line preamp that provides transparent gain when used with phantom power. This allows for appropriate levels for direct recording. The preamp also has a bypass mode that maintains the original SM7B sound.
Aside from the added preamp, the SM7dB offers the exact same performance, sound quality, and circuitry as the SM7B. This means it delivers the warm and familiar broadcast sound that has become a standard in studios, podcasts, and content creation.
The SM7dB features the same bass roll-off and presence boost EQ settings as the SM7B. These settings help the microphone cut through the mix and make it suitable for professional musicians, studio engineers, streamers, and YouTubers.
Other features of the SM7dB include a cardioid polar pattern for consistent sensitivity and frequency response, an internal air suspension shock isolation system that eliminates mechanical noise, and a pop filter that prevents plosives and aids in close-up vocal performances.
The microphone also comes with a yoke mount for easy mounting on microphone stands and studio arms. Its durable build protects the microphone capsule for long-term reliability.
