Product information

General

While the Shure SM7B has become an essential live streaming, podcasting and vlogging tool, it came with one major drawback - a super-low output. With the Shure SM7dB, that problem is made a thing of the distant past. After plugging in the original SM7B, you would have to push the gain up considerably before reaching a reasonable input level, but because the new Shure SM7dB microphone has been upgraded with a built-in preamp, an extra 28 decibels of noiseless, transparent gain is added to signal, even before it reaches the interface or mixer. This immediately results in the warm and supple audio demanded by radio-ready speech, vocals and instrument recordings, even when this studio microphone is hooked up to cheaper interfaces or equipment fitted with weaker preamps.

All the Perks of the SM7B, Just Better

The built-in, active preamp is also adjustable. So the gain boost can be flipped between +18dB and +28dB as needed or the preamp can be bypassed completely to give you the performance of the original SM7B. So, with the SM7dB, you're essentially getting all of the perks of the original model, but without the pitfalls.

The Gold Standard for Live Broadcasting

Efficient magnetic shielding and operational reliability are an absolute must when it comes to live broadcasting, which is exactly what the SM7dB offers. And, while this is a dynamic microphone, the frequency range is especially wide and the sound is incredibly natural. That wide dynamic range also sets the SM7dB up for recording studios, where it's a great pick for miking up bass and guitar amplifiers and even drums and brass instruments. To counter the dull sound caused by the proximity effect that happens when a cardioid microphone like the SM7dB is used to close-mike a sound source, an HPF switch has been fitted which, when active, filters out any overbearing bass frequencies. The high-mid frequencies can also be given a boost via the Presence switch.

Shure SM7dB Dynamic Studio Microphone with Built-in Preamp

Whilst it's quite an investment, it really is worth it.
This mic makes my vocals sound so good.
I have no regrets at all in buying this SM7 and especially this dB version with the built in preamp.
Fantastically easy to use and a very useable level of gain meaning it pairs very nicely with my Audient iD24 interface.

I did not really look at any other mics in this price range due to all the good reports I had read about this one.

Shure SM7dB Dynamic Studio Microphone with Built-in Preamp

I’ve been using a Sure MV7+ for podcasting which is a great mic, but the SM7dB is definitely a step up. It is more refined in the highs and lows and just adds that level of finesse to voice recordings that I was looking for. The built in preamp was an added bonus and I couldn’t be happier with the mic, build quality and ease of use. Highly recommended if you want to take your recordings to the next level. Great price, quick delivery and helpful service from Bax as ever.

Shure SM7dB Dynamic Studio Microphone with Built-in Preamp

I have three ordinary SM7B's and they all have preamps of one type or another, so when I needed one more, I thought I'd try this new version. As far as I can see and hear, it's the same familiar sound, so just very convenient to have it as one unit - to save the faffing with a cloudlifter. I'm very happy, and as the preamp is switchable - makes setup very easy!

Shure SM7dB Dynamic Studio Microphone with Built-in Preamp

De Shure SM7dB heeft mijn verwachtingen ruimschoots overtroffen. De geluidskwaliteit is precies wat je van een SM7 mag verwachten: een warme, volle en natuurlijke klank die stemmen bijzonder aangenaam laat klinken. Vooral voor podcasts, voice-overs en livestreams levert deze microfoon een professionele sound met uitstekende detaillering en een zeer goede onderdrukking van omgevingsgeluid.

Wat de SM7dB voor mij echt onderscheidt, is de ingebouwde voorversterker én de geïntegreerde popfilter. Zeker wanneer je mobiel werkt of op locatie opneemt, is het bijzonder praktisch dat je geen extra inline preamp of externe popfilter hoeft mee te nemen. Dat maakt je setup eenvoudiger, compacter en sneller gebruiksklaar, zonder in te boeten aan geluidskwaliteit.

De bouwkwaliteit is zoals we van Shure gewend zijn: robuust en betrouwbaar. Voor iedereen die een hoogwaardige dynamische microfoon zoekt met extra gebruiksgemak, is de Shure SM7dB wat mij betreft een absolute aanrader.

Shure SM7dB Dynamic Studio Microphone with Built-in Preamp

Wij hebben er 4 inclusief toebehoren gekocht, kregen ze supersnel binnen, mega goede mic's, gebruiken die voor single audio opnamen en ook in onze podcast setup.

Shure SM7dB Dynamic Studio Microphone with Built-in Preamp

Al jaren gebruik ik de RODE NTK microfoon. Ik hou van het geluid, maar ik miste afwisseling in de sound. Zo wilde ik graag een wat donkerder/warmer geluid creëren. Hierdoor ging ik op zoek naar een microfoon die hierbij aansluit en kwam ik in eerste instantie uit op de Shure SM7B. Echter, ik kwam erachter dat je er een cloudlifter bij moet kopen om er een degelijk volume uit te halen (prijzig ding ook, dus dat geld haal je eruit als je de SM7db neemt), dus die optie viel af. Toen zag ik dat er een opvolger was: de Shure SM7db waarbij er een ingebouwde pre-amp is. Helemaal top! Dit in combinatie met 48V (die bijv in de Audient id4 zit), is het volume helemaal priem! De reden dat ik het nu 4 sterren geef in plaats van 5, is omdat ik de microfoon nog niet veelvuldig heb kunnen gebruiken (ik heb de microfoon nu een week) en omdat de pop filter van de microfoon een deuk had, direct uit de doos. In de loop van de week is deze wel langzaam minder geworden, maar nog steeds aanwezig.
