Frequency responseiPublished acoustic range of the microphone. A sample rate does not establish it.

Min50 HzMax20 kHz1Maker product pageshure.com/en-US/products/microphones/sm7dbRead 15 October 2026Page data and text: 50 to 20,000 Hz. No tolerance is printed.2Owner's manualpubs.shure.com/guide/SM7dB/en-USRead 15 October 2026Specifications: 50 to 20,000 Hz.

Sensitivity (analog)iAnalog output level for 94 dB SPL at 1 kHz, as published in dBV. For a microphone with a switchable preamp, the bypass value is used. A value published only in mV/Pa is converted as 20 x log10(mV/Pa / 1000) and rounded to one decimal, so 1.6 mV/Pa is -55.9 dBV/Pa. The printed value goes in the source note. A sensitivity in plain dB with no reference, as many low-cost USB microphones print it, is left out.

Not available

-59dBV/Pa1Maker product pageshure.com/en-US/products/microphones/sm7dbRead 15 October 2026Page data: flat response bypass mode -59.00 dBV/Pa (1.12 mV/Pa). Preamp +18 gives -41.00 and preamp +28 gives -31.00. The bypass value is stored, as the field help asks.2Owner's manualpubs.shure.com/guide/SM7dB/en-USRead 15 October 2026Specifications: flat response bypass mode -59 dBV/Pa (1.12 mV), preamp +18 -41 dBV/Pa (8.91 mV), preamp +28 -31 dBV/Pa (28.2 mV), with 1 Pa = 94 dB SPL.

Sensitivity (digital)iDigital output level over USB for 94 dB SPL at 1 kHz. The minimum gain value is used when several are given. The gain setting goes in the source note. On a USB-only microphone use this field only when the maker prints dBFS or ties a dBV value to the USB output, as Shure does for the MV7i. A dBV, dB re 1 V/Pa or mV/Pa value that names no USB output is left out. The printed unit and the gain go in the source note. A value printed for another reference level is converted by the level difference, so -40 dBFS at 80 dB SPL is -26 dBFS at 94 dB SPL. The printed value goes in the source note.

Not available

Not available

Max SPLiHighest sound pressure level at the source's distortion limit. The THD level and output path go in the source note. The value without a clipping protection mode such as Clipguard is used when both are given. The value with the pad off is used. When the maker lists several preamp loads, the highest load is used. The load goes in the source note. On a USB microphone that prints values per gain setting, the minimum gain value is used, as for sensitivity.

Not available

Not available

Max SPL distortion limitiThe distortion level at which the maker states the max SPL, e.g. 1, 3 or 10 % THD. Left out when the maker names none. Max SPL figures compare only at the same limit.

Not available

Self-noiseiEquivalent noise level, A-weighted, in dB SPL. Lower is quieter. The analog value is used when analog and digital values are both given. A value in dBV or dBFS is left out. On a USB microphone that prints values per gain setting, the minimum gain value is used, as for max SPL.

Output impedanceiRated impedance of the XLR output. For a microphone with a switchable preamp, the bypass value is used. A USB-only microphone has no value here, even when the maker prints an impedance for the capsule. When the maker prints a rated and an actual impedance, as Shure does for the SM58, the rated value is stored and the actual one goes in the source note.

Optional1Maker product pageshure.com/en-US/products/microphones/sm7dbRead 15 October 2026The page says an interface or mixer with +48 V phantom power is needed to operate the preamp, and the bypass switch reverts to the original SM7B performance. The user guide says the preamp needs +48 V and that the microphone works in bypass mode without it, so the value is optional.2Owner's manualpubs.shure.com/guide/SM7dB/en-USRead 15 October 2026Important: the SM7dB requires +48 V phantom power to operate with the preamplifier engaged.

2 of 2 differ

Onboard controlsiFunctions you can change on the microphone itself, by knob, button, switch or touch. Settings that exist only in the app do not count. A switch that sets preamp gain steps, such as +18 or +28 dB, counts as gain. Echo is a knob or button for an echo or reverb effect.

Not available

Gain1Maker product pageshure.com/en-US/products/microphones/sm7dbRead 15 October 2026Back panel switches: preamp gain of +18 dB or +28 dB and a preamp bypass switch. Stored as gain. The bass roll-off and presence switches are processing.2Owner's manualpubs.shure.com/guide/SM7dB/en-USRead 15 October 2026Adjust Back Panel Switches: the preamp switch sets +18 dB or +28 dB and the bypass switch bypasses the preamp.

Onboard processingiProcessing inside the microphone, analog or digital, that works without the maker's app running. A maker statement that settings are saved in the microphone counts. Effects that run only in the app on the computer do not count. An expander counts as noise gate. Clip protection such as Clipguard is clip protection. Limiter is only for a limiter the maker lists as its own effect, never both for one feature. Brand names such as APHEX or Clipguard go in the source note. Attenuation pad is a switch that lowers the capsule output, such as -15 dB. Echo is an echo or reverb effect in the microphone. Exciter or bass enhancer covers effects that add harmonics or bass, such as APHEX Aural Exciter and Big Bottom.

High-pass filter1Maker product pageelectrovoice.com/product/re20Read 15 October 2026The page names a bass-tilt switch.

Microphone dimensionsiMicrophone body without a stand or a detachable shock mount. A fixed yoke is included. Width is left to right as seen by the speaker, height is bottom to top in normal use and depth is front to back. Orient the microphone as in use on its yoke or stand. Depth is the direction it points at the speaker, height is up and width is across. An upright side-address microphone has its length as height. An end-address microphone has its length as depth, also when it is held in the hand. A round microphone with only a length and a diameter uses the diameter for the other two sides. The source note states the mapping.

Warranty

1 of 1 differ

Manufacturer warranty (source market)iThe maker's warranty period for the exact SKU or configuration and market named in the source note. It applies only to that stated market, not every regional variant. Statutory consumer rights are excluded. The base term is stored. An extension that needs registration goes in the source note.

3years6Maker product pageelectrovoice.com/support/warrantyRead 15 October 2026The page links the Electro-Voice warranty conditions for North America and EMEA. Both state a warranty of three years for all other products, with only loudspeakers, loudspeaker accessories and the R300 and RE3 wireless microphones named separately. A wired microphone such as the RE20 falls under all other products. An extension of up to five years needs registration and is not stored.7Maker spec sheet (PDF)products.electrovoice.com/download/975639Read 15 October 2026Warranty conditions for Electro-Voice products, EMEA, version V1.0 of 2019-03-13: three years for all other products. The North America version lists the same three years, at https://shop.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/jsp/pdf/EVI_warranty.pdf.

2years4Retailer pageamazon.com/dp/B0CCSVYWMHRead 15 October 2026Warranty description: 2 Year Limited. Shure's legal page says its limited warranty runs one or two years depending on the product and does not name the SM7dB, so the Amazon term is stored.

Both are also in the API. Back to all microphones.
