Characterised as a dynamic mic with smooth, flat, wide-range frequency response, the Shure SM7B is a truly multi-functional audio tool suited to recording both music and vocal audio. Integrating a cardioid polar pattern, bass roll-off, and mid-range push controls, the SM7B actively shields itself against broadband interference. Further to this, an integrated air suspension shock isolation benefits the elimination of mechanical noise. This consists of electromagnetic hums from computers, as well as more general background studio noise. The tactile yoke mount also facilitates key mounting and precise control, whilst the detachable close-up windscreen minimises plosives and heavy breaths.
