SM7: The mic that shaped sound and culture
Twenty Thousand Hertz - The stories behind the world's most recognizable and interesting sounds.
Since their founding almost a century ago, Shure has created some of the most iconic microphones ever made. In this episode, we worked with Shure to tell the story of the SM7 dynamic microphone: from its humble beginnings in voiceover studios in the early 70s, to its use on classic albums, to its rediscovery by podcasters and streamers.
Twenty Thousand Hertz is produced by Defacto Sound.
