Shure SM7dB Vocal Microphone with Built-In Preamp
A Proven Performer, Now with More Output Gain
The black Shure SM7dB is an updated version of the SM7B, featuring a built-in preamp for a more robust output level, eliminating the need for an inline preamp. The SM7dB offers the same smooth, flat, and wide-range frequency response for music and speech that made the original a popular choice for professional audio applications. The mic's specially engineered dynamic capsule provides a smooth, polished vocal sound with a rich response in the lower frequency registers, making the mic a favorite among broadcasters and podcasters.
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 Filters
The mic includes an AW7S foam windscreen as well as a larger RK345B close-talk windscreen to ensure you get clear intelligible speech and vocals without plosives and vocal pops.

Auray BAI-2X Two-Section Broadcast Arm with Internal Springs and Integrated XLR Cable

The Auray BAI-2X is a two-section broadcast arm with internal springs and an integrated XLR cable. This versatile and sturdy broadcast arm is great for studio as well as home use. It's ideal for broadcast, voiceover, and podcasts.

The BAI-2X broadcast arm is designed with internal springs that provide a clean and sleek look. The internal balance springs are precision engineered to support and hold in place microphones of up to 5 lb / 2.27kg. The design also minimizes handling noise when re-positioning the arm. The broadcast arm features a standard 5/8"-27 microphone stud mount that is compatible with most shockmounts and microphone clips. The angle of the microphone stud mount can be adjusted and secured with the locking knob, and the angle is maintained when re-positioning the arm. This eliminates the need to readjust it every time the arm is moved. With an extension of up to 40 inches, and the ability to rotate the arm 360°, the BAI-2X allows for precise microphone placement.

The BAI-2X also features a heavy-duty combo mount that consists of a sturdy C-clamp and a heavy-metal desktop mount. The C-clamp is capable of fastening onto desktops up to 2.3" thick. The C-clamp's slim design minimizes the clearance needed to mount it between a desk and wall. The desktop mount detaches from the C-clamp and provides the option of permanent installation to a desktop with the mounting screws (included). A 14" riser is included for adding height to the broadcast arm in order to extend over computer or studio monitors.

I've finally found the perfect microphone and arm kit for my studio. I've tried many combinations, but seeing this at NAMM last month and then finding it at B&H was my opportunity to act. A great product, and great service from B&H. 4

Does this plug straight into the Canon R5C? Or does the canon R5C not have Phantom power?
Asked by: brad
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.

Which mic is better for podcasting, the Shure SM7dB the the RODE NT2-A Large-Diaphragm Multipattern Condenser Microphone?
Asked by: Brian
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.

I need a mic as a USB input to my computer workstation. Can the Shure X2u give enough gain for the SM7B or do I need this mic?
Asked by: Daniel
No, the Shure X2u XLR to USB Microphone Signal Adapter (B&H # SHX2UXLRUSB) will not supply enough gain for the Shure SM7B Vocal Microphone (B&H # SHSM7B), but a different USB audio interface with a higher input gain level of 60 dB or more definitely can. The Shure SM7dB Vocal Microphone with Built-In Preamp does have sufficient gain on its own, but it is an XLR microphone, so you would still need to use a USB audio interface for connection to your computer. As simple solution for direct connection to your computer via USB, you can use the Shure MV7+ Podcast XLR/USB Microphone (B&H # SHMV7PK), which has plenty of gain and can function as either a USB mic or it can connect via XLR.
