MODEL SM7
UNIDIRECTIONAL DYNAMIC RECORDING MICROPHONE
The Model SM7 is a dynamic microphone with a very smooth,
flat, wide-range frequency response. It is meticulously designed
for the most exacting music and speech requirements in profes-
sional audio applications.
Microphone Features:
•
Flat, wide-range frequency response for exceptionally
clean and natural reproduction of both music and speech
•
Classic cardioid polar pattern, uniform with frequency and
symmetrical about axis, to provide maximum rejection and
minimum coloration of off-axis sound
•
Internal “air suspension” shock isolation virtually eliminates
mechanical noise transmission
•
Highly effective pop filter eliminates need for any add-on
protection against explosive breath sounds, even for
close-up vocals or narration
•
Extremely good rejection of electromagnetic hum due to
built-in hum rejection system
•
Bass rolloff and mid-range emphasis (presence boost)
controls with graphic display of response setting. (See
Figure 1)
•
Yoke mounting with captive stand nut for easy mounting
and dismounting provides precise control of microphone
position
•
Rugged construction and excellent cartridge protection for
outstanding reliability
