I believe many/most people buy this microphone without fully understanding what they are buying. The Shure name and the hype about Michael Jackson recording with it tends to cloud the judging process, so for many it's a quick decision to buy. But a more detailed analysis reveals more characteristics and with better understanding you can put aside the hype and probably appreciate theSM7B for what it truly is : a fantastic Dynamic microphone with a SM58-like character that works for robust studio-recordings IF you have a high-quality high-gain preamp to use with it.
Being a dynamic microphone, it does not have it's own preamp and is thus not as sensitive as a condenser mic. It's therefore not very useful for recording delicate singing voices, it's just not sensitive enough. But it will handle loud,screaming vocals easily, the capsule is robust enough to take in all that high energy. This is just the physics/science of microphones: dynamic mics handle loud sounds better, condensers handle delicate things better.
But the SM7B is not like the Shure SM58 dynamic mic, it's capsule elements are thinner and much more sensitive, so it's sensitivity does lean towards the condensers, but being a dynamic mic this sensitivity comes at the expense of it only being able to produce a weak signal, so it needs a preamp with plenty of clean gain before the signal can be used.....if you really think hard about it, it is thus trying to be like a condenser mic, but whereas a condenser mic has a built-in preamp, this SM7B needs an external preamp! In-between, that's where it is.
But the story gets more interesting. The SM7B has "character"... the audio pattern mimics the legendary SM58's presence-boosting curve, so the SM7B can give your recorded voice the classic Shure SM58 "live" character if you know how to use it right (though again you need to keep in mind that it's never going to be as delicate as a condenser mic, still if you know what you're doing you might find it a worthy trade-off to get great character with the loss of some delicate-ness. Post-recording engineering, a bit of compression and you're back in the game.)
Misconception: There is a presence-boosting switch. Nope. What the switch does is take away the presence to give you a flat-response curve, i.e. in its natural state the presence is already boosted, the switch is misleading, the flat-response is the altered state.
Misconception: The pop-filters (windscreens) provided give you a natural sound. No they don't. They filter off the high-frequencies, giving you a flatter sound. This is perfect for podcasting, and you can speak with your mouth close to the mic without having pops (use the thinner or thicker filter, depending on how robust your POP-ing is getting), but for singing you want to take off the windscreens, leave the metal grill exposed, and use a proper external POP filter.
For recording of a singer, the magic comes with a proper external POP filter, no need for a super-expensive one, but one with at least a double-grille and larger (6inch minimum) diameter. Shure sells such a POP filter, good enough for the task. Once you're using a proper external pop filter, you can place it really close to the metal grille front, have your SM7B switches without bass-cut and with the presence-boost on (as I said it earlier this is actually a no-presence-cut position rather than a real boost)...and you can record your singing in all it's glory, your voice gets recorded as if you were winging with a Shure SM58 on steroids, i.e the "character" of the mic is there. There is no need to switch off this presence, you can always do so in the mixing stage. You thus end up recording with a high degree of sensitivity yet having a very low noise floor (the advantage of a dynamic mic).
The is not much proximity effect with this mic, the metal grille extends far beyond the capsule element so your mouth cannot get really too close to the capsule. (Hats off to the Shure engineers for this bit of idiot-proofing). Imagine a super-sensitive SM58 with a Blues singer planting his lips of the grille and you're recording his voice in a studio, and you're in 'POP hell...now you appreciate the engineering :)
Apologies for the lengthy review, but I do believe I've given an honest description of the important details. PODcast users may find this mic overkill but hey if you have the cash then flout it, though you could get the same audio with a cheap condenser with a big windshield and some EQ work. Recording vocalists with a more dynamic vocal range is where the SM7B will probably shine, and especially with louder vocalists, or for recording alongside other instruments being played simultaneously, where the bleed from other sounds is significantly reduced with such a cardiod-pattern dynamic mic.
I'm very happy with this mic, have done tons of audio tests with it. I'll use it for my more rocking vocals, leaving the delicate ballads to a condenser mic. Hope this review helps you decide what's best for you, make the best use of your hard-earned $. Cheers.
The sound quality produced by this vocal dynamic microphone is simply outstanding. Whether I'm recording vocals for music, podcasts, or voiceovers, it captures the nuances and richness of my voice with remarkable clarity. The depth and warmth in the recordings are truly a testament to the microphone's exceptional capabilities. It has added a professional touch to my recordings that I didn't expect at this price point.
The build quality and materials used in this microphone are also impressive. It feels sturdy and well-constructed, giving me confidence that it will hold up well over time. The attention to detail in the design is evident, and I appreciate the thoughtful inclusion of features like the shock mount that helps eliminate unwanted vibrations and handling noise. This microphone truly feels like a premium product, and its durability adds to its overall value.
Speaking of value, I am genuinely amazed by how much this microphone offers for its price. Comparable microphones with similar sound quality and build often come with a much higher price tag, making this vocal dynamic microphone an incredible bargain. It's a testament to the brand's commitment to delivering top-notch quality without breaking the bank.
In conclusion, the Vocal Dynamic Microphone has earned a well-deserved five-star rating from me. Its impressive sound quality, quality of material, and unbeatable value for money make it a must-have for any aspiring or seasoned content creator. Whether you're a musician, podcaster, or voice actor, this microphone will undoubtedly elevate your recordings to a whole new level. Don't hesitate to invest in this gem – you won't be disappointed!

Tive experiencias péssimas com outras revendedoras, que me venderam microfones falsificados, ocasionando em uma dor de cabeça tremenda no processo investigativo.
A verdade é que podemos confiar apenas nas lojas listadas no site Shure Dealers, por isso, tomem cuidado com o vendedor!
Obrigado loja Ninja pela rapidez da entrega.
Caso vá comprar o microfone, saiba que ele não vem com o fio XLR. O 7bSM é muito faminto, por isso será necessário uma interface de áudio adequada, como Focusrite 2i2 4th Gen, que suprirá os decibéis do microfone com sobra. Existem outras opções de interface, porém, dependendo da escolha, talvez seja necessário um Cloudlifter.

In my studio I can plug in a TLM 103 on one channel and a Shure SM7db on a second channel and I guarantee you may not know which is which with the same read. It’s done with processing. EQ, Aural Exciters, Compression. These effects alone can transform a darker sounding mic into the airy, crisp, presence filled microphone of your dreams. Just like you need to tweak the color on a TV, you need to tweak the ‘color’ of a mic.
I use Adobe Audition recording software and a RodeCaster Pro 2 where the effects I mentioned are all included. They will elevate the SM7db and your podcast, YT Channel, voice over work to a pro level. It achieves this by making your voice easier to understand, adding clarity, sparkle and dimension, and in turn, making ‘you’ more enjoyable to listen to.
And now with the built in power boost the SM7db can be used pretty much used with any recording equipment.
The SM7b has been around for 50+ years and I can totally recommend this mic to anyone, especially male voices. The latest SM7db version adds a preamp with +18 or +28 db courtesy of the built in Cloudlifter. For female voices, keep the built in presence switch activated.
You’ll love the updated Shure SM7db. It is one of the great mics out there.

If there's anything I've learnt by using this mic is that it's not for everyone. Nor is it for anyone who understands it's purpose and how it works let alone the little caveats that come with it. This is a studio grade mic. It's expensive. It requires you to know what you are doing to set yourself up properly for your intended use. By no means this is an entry (plug and play) mic for anyone out there, even less so for anyone who intends to use it for commentary (looking mainly at all of you who want to make youtube videos and streams). Do keep in mind that this mic shouldn't ever be your first pick, not at this price point and not without a good knowledge because you will be disappointed.
If your intentions are to do commentary and broadcast, there are far more affordable options that you can tweak to sound like this one.
If your intentions are musically inclined then this may be a better option for you however not the first either.
In any case keep in mind that this is a VERY quiet mic, it takes a good amp to drive it. It's not a plug and play mic, you have to EQ it to your intended use (not that you can't just use it as is, just won't give you the results you are seeking). It certainly is very pricey due to the quality, branding and popularity - there may be just as good options out there for you to look at.
Actual review:
I've tried and used a fair share of mics for various purposes and went up the ladder until I could finally buy this one. All I can say is that it's damn worth it. In the year or more I've had it, it served me fantastically and I genuinely can't find any complaints. When it comes to music, this thing makes all the instruments I've used pop which is a pleasure to listen to. Highly suggest this product but only if you read what I've said up there in the beware.
Die Audioqualität dieses Mikrofons ist einfach beeindruckend. Es liefert eine unglaublich klare und warme Klangreproduktion, sei es für Gesang, Sprache oder instrumentale Aufnahmen. Selbst in Umgebungen mit unzureichender Schalldämmung erfasst das SM7B erstaunlich klare Töne, ohne unerwünschte Hintergrundgeräusche einzufangen.
Seine Vielseitigkeit ist bemerkenswert. Mit den verschiedenen Einstellungsmöglichkeiten kann man die Klangcharakteristik anpassen, um den persönlichen Vorlieben oder den Anforderungen unterschiedlicher Aufnahmesituationen gerecht zu werden. Es ist gleichermaßen perfekt für Live-Auftritte, Podcasts, Gesangs- oder Instrumentalaufnahmen geeignet.
Darüber hinaus ist die robuste Bauweise des SM7B beeindruckend. Es fühlt sich solide an und ist bekannt für seine Langlebigkeit. Die integrierte Windschutzscheibe und die Abschirmung gegen elektromagnetische Interferenzen sind äußerst hilfreich, um störende Geräusche zu minimieren.
Ja, der Preis mag etwas höher sein, aber die Investition lohnt sich definitiv. Das Shure SM7B ist nicht nur ein Mikrofon – es ist eine Investition in Spitzenqualität und zuverlässige Leistung. Wenn Sie nach einem Mikrofon suchen, das Professionalität, Vielseitigkeit und überragende Klangqualität vereint, dann ist das Shure SM7B die beste Wahl auf dem Markt.
