Shure SM7B
Shure SM7B
The Shure SM7B microphone is now an integral part of pop culture, as it is not only used in studios for recording vocals, but is also a key component of many podcasts. The SM7 model was used by Michael Jackson to record the album Thriller and now the Shure SM7B microphone is used by stars such as Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. This only confirms the quality and reliability of the Shure microphone. The strong directionality and built-in filters ensure the removal of all ambient noise and interference. The all-metal body of the Shure SM7B microphone is mounted on a pneumatic suspension, which further helps to eliminate unwanted phenomena, including vibrations.

Microphone Principle
A dynamic microphone is suitable for open performances, live broadcasts, music production, etc. It uses a magnet and a moving coil to capture sound.
A condenser microphone is mainly used for studio purposes. It has higher sensitivity and lower noise. It needs to be powered separately.
Frequency Range
The frequency range indicates the range of frequencies that the microphone records. The wider the range, the more sounds it can capture.
Low frequencies (e.g., 20–200Hz): Bass, the deepest notes of instruments (double bass, kick drum) and male voices.
Mid frequencies (e.g., 200–3,000Hz): The body of instruments, the fundamental of the voice, where the ear is most sensitive, important for speech intelligibility.
High frequencies (e.g., 3,000–14,000Hz): Treble, details, sibilance and the "sparkle" of the sound.
Air band (above 14,000Hz): Gives recordings a sense of expensive, super-quality sound and space.
Sensitivity
Microphone sensitivity is the ratio of output voltage to acoustic pressure. It expresses how loud a signal the microphone produces at a given acoustic pressure; higher sensitivity means a stronger voltage and is suitable for quiet studios, while lower sensitivity is better for noisy environments as it amplifies ambient noise less.
