Shure SM7dB Vocal Microphone with Built-In Preamp

No, the Shure SM7dB Vocal Microphone is not compatible for direct connection to the Canon EOS R5 C Mirrorless Camera. The mic requires phantom power, which the camera is unable to supply. However, you could use it with a separate phantom power supply or an XLR adapter/mixer like the TASCAM CA-XLR2d-C XLR Microphone Adapter Kit for Canon Cameras (B&H # TACAXLR2DC), the Beachtek DXA-MICRO-PRO Active XLR Compact Adapter (B&H # BEDXAMICROP), or the Saramonic SR-PAX1 Two-Channel Audio Mixer, Preamp, Microphone Adapter (B&H # SASRPAX1), which use a 3.5mm cable that will connect directly to the camera's mic input. If you want to use a separate phantom power supply, you could use the Xvive Audio P1 Portable Phantom Power Supply with Rechargeable Battery (B&H # XVP1), the Denecke PS-1A - Portable Single Channel 48V Phantom Power Supply (B&H # DEPS1A), the PSC 48 PHantom - Single Channel Battery Operated Phantom Power Supply (B&H # PS48PMPS), the Mackie M48 Single-Channel 48V Phantom Power Supply (B&H # MAM48), or the Rolls PB224 - 2-Channel Portable Battery Operated Phantom Power Supply (B&H # ROPB224), which can be connected to the camera's mic input using a cable like the Kopul XRSM 3-Pin XLR Female to 3.5mm RA Stereo Mini-Plug Cable - 6' (B&H # KOXRSM06B), in any length you prefer.

The Shure SM7dB Vocal Microphone, and other similar dynamic broadcast mics, are useful for scenarios in which acoustic isolation is not possible - either because the recording space cannot be acoustically treated, or because several people must speak in close proximity. Large diaphragm condenser microphones like the Rode NT2-A are more sensitive, and provide excellent definition and clarity for situations in which background noise and flutter echo are not a problem.
