Shure SM7B Dynamic Vocal Microphone

I purchased the Shure SM7B a few years ago and have been extremely impressed with its performance. As a professional discord talker, streamer, and gamer, I was in need of a high-quality microphone that could capture crystal clear audio, and the SM7B did not disappoint. I wanted to sound like all the professionals out there. Not knowing how it would turn out. I loved it. The comments I’ve had with this mic has been surprising to how much others like the sound it produced with my voice.

The build quality of the microphone is excellent. It is made of durable metal and feels solid and well-constructed. It comes with a standard XLR connection, which is compatible with most audio interfaces and mixers. The internal shock mount is a nice touch and it helps to reduce unwanted vibrations and noise from reaching the microphone.

The sound quality of the SM7B is fantastic. It has a wide frequency response (50Hz – 20kHz) and a high-pass filter that helps to eliminate unwanted low-frequency rumble. It also has a mid-range boost switch that allows you to increase the clarity of vocals and spoken word. With this microphone, I am able to capture high-quality, professional-sounding audio.

One of the standout features of the SM7B is its ability to handle high SPLs (Sound Pressure Levels) This means it can handle high volumes without distorting the audio, which is great for recording music or anything else with louder sources. Also its built-in pop filter and internal air suspension that helps to reduce popping and sibilance, which means less post-processing is required on your end, overall saving time.

The only downside to this microphone is that it is not USB, so it needs a XLR interface to connect to a computer. And also its price point, it is an expensive microphone, but it is worth every penny if you are serious about capturing high-quality audio. I use a cloudlifter in between the mic and my Rode Rodecaster Pro sound board.

Overall, I highly recommend the Shure SM7B to anyone looking for a professional-grade microphone for streamer, gamers, podcasting, voiceover work, or music recording. It is built to last and will give you the best sound quality possible, which makes it a worthwhile investment.

Beware:
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.
