Shure SM 7 B 5-stars Reviews

Oozes quality

Great sound and top notch build quality.

Perfect

It's perfect, couldn't be happier.

Beautiful sound, for everything.

this microphone needs no introduction, it simply sounds amazing on everyone's voice, it's a little dark with just the right amount of detail and warmth, timeless design and works for every instrument and type of singing ever...except extremely quiet singing and quiet voice overs, for those I would highly recommend an expensive/powerful preamp, or a completely different microphone. otherwise, lovely mic.

Amazing sound, no background noise

It's a great mic for growling death metal vocals. No need for a pop filter or anything like that, and it filters out background noise like crazy, so no need to go overboard when it comes to recording room acoustics. The only serious issue is that the adaptor tends to get stuck quite badly to the arm, and I had to use two wrenches to get it off, which scraped off the painting from the adaptor, so make sure to apply a good amount of grease before fixing it in place. Another thing to consider is that your interface must have at least 60dB of gain, otherwise you need a Cloudlifter or some other mic preamp, which is an extra cost. My Apollo Twin X has just enough gain to run it, but I lost a of headroom, so I've paired it up with a Cloudlifter and now it's amazing.

Très bon matériel

Micro de très bonne qualité, prises de sons précise. Parfait pour enregistrer la voix.

Reliable Quality

The Mic gives you the quality you expect from it. No extra bells and whistles, just a reliable piece of gear. Buying a Cloudlifter or something similar is advised as well.

Quality Quality Quality

Solid construction, incredibly versatile for recording and performing live for streaming. The only thing I don't like it the thread for the mount is fiddly, so it's best to leave it in situ,

I'm very happy with your product

A classic !

From Michael Jackson to radios, this mic has been used my legendary singers and radio host. I highly recommend a good pre-amp for the sm7 and you go crank the input as the impedance of this mic is quite high (but that’s what make the sm7b unique). As a comparison, with flat curve on each mic and same settings on dbx286s, I reach the same output volume with Sm7 - input set to 8 RE20 - input set to 5 ~ 6 Also, the sm7b is absolutely amazing for soulful voices. For example I exclusively record my soulful singer friend on the sm7b while I own more expensive mics (including a sphere L22, TLM, etc..) Please keep in mind that this mic comes with its own cable attached (you can detach it) and you need to be careful while choosing a mic stand. I use a desk mic stand by Rode (the Rode PSA-1) I love this mic. I would never sell it.

Truly Legendary Tone and Silhouette👑

Tech specs aside. This is an amazing mic for recording vocals in home studio with untreated space. You can use it in applications where's using a condenser mic is impossible. Probably the most versatile microphone ever created. Radio, podcasts, vocals, streaming, instruments, cab's, you name it... pair it with a good preamp and y'all covered. An ultimate dynamic microphone, everything else is a compromise.

A Good Multipurpose Microphone

So far I've used the SM7B for tracking vocals and as a podcast microphone. I'm pleased with the quality of the audio and the sturdy build is a plus! The only negative I can think of is the the signal not being that strong when running the mic straight to an interface so for some users there might be a hidden cost of buying a booster (Cloudlifter, etc.). But other than that I'm very pleased with the product!

Perfection!

Top quality sound. Solid build. You cannot go wrong with the Shure SM7B. A must-have for the Studio!

Amazing Microphone!

Couldn't Recommend this more, it's a great microphone as expected.

Can't go wrong with this mic.

This mic gets used almost daily. Works nicely on everything, but particularly for voice recording. I have heard that some interfaces don't have enough gain for it, but it works perfectly with an RME UFX with little noise and good separation from ambient reflections if the talent is up close. The sound is dark-ish, but that's exactly what I wanted and expected. My LDC mics haven't gotten much use since I got this. Excellent, can't go wrong with it.

Shure SM 7 B

I think the best microphone in this category for alternative vocal. Specially noise gates help to avid different noises around. Good looking and also good quality. If you think buy or not... buy!

Great quality, Great price.

There are of course better microphones out there but I can assure they will be at a cost significantly greater than this.

£350 for the industry go to vocal / podcast microphone is a no brainer.

Do yourself a favour and buy this mic.

Great mic

This mic is a standard for a reason. I needed the main microphone for recording vocals and I chose this one. So glad I did. Great for acoustically untreated spaces. You'll probably need a cloudlifter to get most of it.

Must have!

Great mic especially for home studios. I had this on my wish list for a while and finally decided to get it. I’m so glad I did. The quality is excellent especially for vocal recording.

The Mic itself

The SM7B is by now a classic go to for mostly any and all audio work just for how versatile it is, starting from its unedited sound already being beautiful up to when you tune it, it has and always will be a beautiful work horse for almost anything you use it for

Great versatile mic

Amazing dynamic mic, my go to mic for years. Very nice and crisp low mid, sounds great on my vocals.
