The SM7B and the Artists that Use It in Singapore

Why the Shure SM7B is a Must-Have for Singapore Content Creators, Podcasters, and Musicians

The Shure SM7B is the top pick for microphones, especially in Singapore's bustling content creation and music scene. Its versatility and affordability make it a favorite among local content creators, podcasters, and musicians, both in live performances and studio recordings.

Originally known as the SM7, the microphone has undergone a series of internal enhancements, leading to the current SM7B model. This mic has been integral to many Grammy Award-winning recordings. It’s not just popular globally, but it’s also a hit here in Singapore.

A Proven Choice Among Iconic Artists

From Michael Jackson's "Thriller" to Sheryl Crow's "The Globe Sessions," the SM7B has been the top choice of many artists, often favored over more expensive microphones. Why? The answer lies in its performance. Once you plug it in and use it, the quality will speak for itself.

The SM7B excels with warm, rich vocals and works beautifully with various instruments, making it an essential tool for any local musician or content creator. Whether you need to capture the sound of a guitar cabinet, brass instruments, bass cabinet, or even a hi-hat, this microphone delivers outstanding results.

Practical Applications in the Studio and Live Performances

Singapore's dynamic music scene can benefit greatly from the SM7B. For example, renowned drummer Chris McHugh uses two SM7Bs on his kit—one for the hi-hat and another under his ride cymbal, both with the windscreens removed for a distinct sound.
