Shure's SM7dB: A Hidden Preamp Revolution
Shure has released the SM7dB, a new edition of its popular SM7B microphone, to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The SM7dB solves one of the mic's biggest pain points by incorporating a built-in preamp that provides 18- or 28dB of gain, eliminating the need for additional hardware. The microphone retains its sleek design and features, including a high pass filter and mid-frequency boost. While the SM7dB is priced $100 higher than the regular SM7B, it offers convenience and improved volume without compromising on sound quality.
