Key Features

• Preamp bypass switch deactivates the preamp to revert to original SM7B performance

• Bass roll-off and mid-range emphasis (presence boost) EQ controls

• Superior rejection of electromagnetic hum, optimized for shielding against broadband interference emitted by computer monitors

• Internal “air suspension” shock isolation virtually eliminates mechanical noise transmission

• Highly effective pop filter eliminates need for any add-on protection against explosive breath sounds, even for close-up vocals or narration

• Yoke mounting with captive stand nut for easy mounting and dismounting provides precise control of microphone position

• Classic cardioid polar pattern, uniform with frequency and symmetrical about axis, to provide maximum rejection and minimum coloration of off-axis sound

• Rugged construction and excellent cartridge protection for outstanding reliability

Broadcast-Quality Sound The SM7dB features a cardioid polar pattern, bass roll-off, and midrange emphasis (presence boost) controls as well as shielding against broadband interference. An internal air suspension shock isolation helps to eliminate mechanical noise transmission, and a yoke mount facilitates mounting and provides precise control of the mic position.
	Built-In Preamp The SM7dB features a built-in preamp that is powered via 48V phantom power. The preamp can be set for +18, +28 dB, or removed from the circuit entirely via the true-bypass switch.
Cardioid Polar Pattern The classic cardioid pickup pattern is designed to reject off-axis audio, so you can sing or speak at a comfortable angle. And, it captures the sound with minimum coloration, isolating the signal source, which helps to reduce feedback issues.
	Rejection of Electromagnetic Hum Improved rejection of electromagnetic hum—optimized for shielding against broadband interference emitted by computer monitors.
Air Suspension Shock Isolation Internal air suspension shock isolation virtually eliminates mechanical-noise transmission. Pop Filter The detachable close-talk windscreen eliminates the need for any add-on protection against explosive breath sounds—even for close-up vocals or narration.
