Shure SM7dB: Built-in Preamp. Built on Legacy.

An audio icon is reborn – the Shure SM7dB has the sound you've loved for years, but with the convenience of a built-in preamp providing all the extra gain you'll ever need. The latest iteration of this legendary XLR dynamic microphone makes it easier for podcasters, streamers and musicians to get perfect vocals from any recording setup.

The SM7dB ($499) is a cardioid dynamic microphone with a Shure-designed built-in preamp providing up to +28 dB of low-noise, flat, transparent gain ideal for lower-output interfaces and simplified audio chains. Delivers warm and smooth audio for vocal and studio applications. Preamp bypass switch, adjustable bass roll-off and presence boost, electromagnetic hum shielding, internal shock mounting, and external windscreen ensure clear and consistent audio reproduction.

Put Every Watt To Work With PowerShareX.

Featuring onboard DSP, seamless integration with ControlSpace Designer software, and proven Powersoft technology, PowerShareX amplifiers are an ideal match for Bose Professional loudspeaker systems. Each networkable, four-channel amp offers innovative power-sharing flexibility, Dante connectivity, and much more — all in a space-saving 1RU design.

Developed in collaboration with Powersoft, PowerShareX provides a central power reservoir that can be allocated asymmetrically across each output. This brilliant technology dynamically shifts the power based on the load requirements, allowing you to focus on the overall power while minimizing unused amplifier power capabilities. These amps also feature complete integration with ControlSpace Designer and Bose Pro loudspeakers plus Dante connectivity.

Meet The Most Durable Shotgun Mic Ever.

The DPA 2017 Shotgun Microphone ($995) is an extremely directional mic that combines crystal clear, authentic sound and stable, consistent performance under harsh conditions. Its acoustical performance sets it apart from any competition. It has efficient off-axis rejection combined with an off-axis frequency response that is much more linear than most similar shotgun mics on the market. These are exactly the capabilities that result in authentic sound.

The 2017 performs consistently in a variety of conditions, like cold weather and humid environments on location. Although the interference tube surrounding the capsule is quite long, the entire mic is contained in a shorter, lighter mic housing than many other mics that it outperforms. This makes the 2017 a practical choice in a wide range of applications.
