The verdict

The Shure SM7B is beloved by professional musicians for its reliable performance, top-grade construction, and noise attenuating technology that lends itself to clear recordings. This isn’t a mic for those making their first foray into recording, rather it’s for aspiring professionals and industry veterans. The uniform frequency response is excellent for all ranges of recording, and the alternative responses are fitting for other studio needs.

✓Liked: Effective on-board frequency response filters, Excellent vocal reproduction, Off-axis and internal noise rejection, Build quality

✕Could be better: Heavy, Expensive
