The SM7B dynamic microphone has a smooth, flat, wide-range frequency response appropriate for music and speech in all professional audio applications. It features excellent shielding against electromagnetic hum generated by computer monitors, neon lights, and other electrical devices. The SM7B has been updated from earlier models with an improved bracket design that offers greater stability. In addition to its standard windscreen, it also includes the A7WS windscreen for close-talk applications.

The SM7B is one of my favorite microphones for vocals and kick drums. Its operation bandwidth is ideal for bringing vocals to life and making it easy to fit them into a mix. Inside a kick drum, it naturally captures that upper midrange attack that you hear on so many great records. -Jason Spence, JSS President and Engineer
