The New Active Dynamic Shure SM7dB Mic!

Introducing the new active dynamic Shure SM7dB mic! The SM7dB takes all the smooth, polished, flat, and wide frequency response of the original and adds a built-in preamp. Here's Andrew with the full details and a test of the mic's sound.

Definitely a smart choice by SHURE to build that.

Hey! Have you noticed any sound difference between both the old SM7B and the new SM7dB? I keep seeing people say the new one doesn't sound as good, which wouldn't make sense considering Shure claims the sound profile is identical. Any thoughts? 👀

Waiting for the Sony ECM-S1 review and how it compares to this

[KarlCelarier]

I think he misspoke at :54 -- what he really means to say is "where the signal to noise ratio is the 'Greatest' '"

[billnguyen]

what the small sound card /item you use to adjust the sound

[jojodelcruper]

I just bought an SM7B, I should've waited for a little bit longer 😢

Why do we act like plugging in an inline preamp is "challenging?"

[skorpers]

"60 DB of 'clean' gain" doesn't actually exist.
All gain has inherent noise. You get the best signal to noise ratio from the max gain of your preamp.
THis inline preamp just makes it worse lol.

Now, if they could make a USB version.
