Review Text: Step Up Your Game With Clarity Beyond Belief. The Shure SM7B microphone is well known in the recording industry & in premium live gigs. I placed the SM7B above my cymbals on my drum kit. The presence of the hard hitting crash is beyond amazing! It will take up to 180dB without clipping, making it ideal for drums & cymbal sound recording & reproduction. I select the presence boost (emphasizes the midrange) which rolls off the bass. That is the secret to the sweetest cymbal sound I have ever heard. You can also select bass boost for close-up voice pick-up. The SM7B is ruggedly built, making it ideal for moving it from gig to gig, without worry. The yoke mounting facilitates easy installation & removal. It is a heavy microphone, so be sure your mic stand is built to hold a serious piece of hardware. Even with the gain cranked up, I have no hum, despite a myriad of electronic gear in close proximity. This mic has internal shielding just to eliminate hum. This will be particularly important in Podcasting & Streaming, where you will not encounter interference from monitors & other electronic equipment. A built-in pop filter is extremely effective for close-to-your-mouth audio pick-up. The cardioid pick-up pattern is very effective at rejecting sounds that are off-axis. CONCLUSION: The Shure SM7B added clarity to my kit that is beyond belief! It earned my highest recommendation.
