T he SM7B is one of the better vocal microphones one can buy for a recording studio, home or pro.  Its a dynamic microphone, based on a moving coil, and has a cardioid pattern.  It picks up the sound it points to, and rejects sound from the sides and the back.  While the SM7B looks like a "side

As a recording vocalist, I must say that the Shure SM7 microphone provides outstanding clarity, warmth and presence. I was very amazed at its transparent and lush, open sound characteristics. I would defiantly recommend this product to any recording musician.

The Model SM7B is a large diaphragm dynamic microphone with a smooth, flat, frequency response designed primarily for speech and particularly voice-over work where it has become the industry standard.

I really wanted to love this microphone. Everyone raves about it and how wonderful it is, but even with try after try I just couldn't get it to work correctly. I've been looking for a microphone for podcasting and audiobook narration.

I am retired, after over 30 years, from the music industry. I worked as an engineer and live soundman. I own over 60 mics myself,about every brand available,from AKG, Sennheiser, Neumann, EV, Pelouso, Blue, Heil, etc. Being the curious type I've tried them all on my rigs.

this mic is what i've been dreaming of. lots of noise rejection and smoooth even tone. you will need a strong preamp, but if you're looking seriously at this mic you probably are stepping up your studio game. the seller was amazing as well. they just called me and made sure i was happy with the mic.

I bought this mic to record various sources such as guitars, drums and vocals. It works really well on most sources I have tried it on and is great for male vox especially. I'm fairly certain this mic will be constantly in use in my studio for the foreseeable future.

"No, not the Shure SM57," I said to the young clerk at the mega guitar market, "I need an SM-SEVEN." "Dude," he replied. "There's no such thing. You mean a FIFTY-SEVEN." At that point, luckily, I spied an SM-7A box behind the counter and pointed it out to him.

I read so much positive reviews on this mic, so I decided to make the purchase. I have to say the SM7B has a smooth balanced response for vocals. I haven't used it on any other sources, but I'm pretty sure it will perform well on drums and guitar as well. Very satisfied with this mic.
