The Versatile & Flexible Mic!
The SM7B is a dynamic microphone with a very smooth, flat, wide-range frequency response. It is meticulously designed for the most exacting music and speech requirements in professional audio applications. The cartridge has been updated from the original SM7B with improved shielding against electromagnetic hum generated by computer monitors, neon lights, and other electrical devices. A popular choice for broadcast applications, the SM7B is often seen in studio situations parked above hi-hats, in front of bass cabinets, and as a vocal mic for rock vocalists. The SM7B excels on many fronts!

"You've heard the SM7 hundreds of times... Aside from being a very widely-used mic for broadcast, the SM7 is all over the best selling record ever made, Michael Jackson's, "Thriller." Bruce Swedien, who engineered the album, said: "When we were doing "Off The Wall", "Thriller," and "Bad" I ended up with six Shure SM7s. That is a fantastic mic." "
