Overview

The Shure SM7B & Apollo x4 Vocal Recording Bundle brings together a proven vocal microphone and a professional-grade audio interface in one package. The SM7B has been a staple in broadcast and music studios for decades, prized for its flat, wide-range frequency response and built-in bass roll-off and presence boost controls that let you shape your tone at the source. Its excellent electromagnetic shielding makes it particularly well-suited for home studios where computer monitors and other electronics can introduce unwanted hum.

On the interface side, the Apollo x4 Heritage Edition delivers 12 inputs and 18 outputs over Thunderbolt 3, with four Unison preamps that digitally model the impedance and gain staging of classic analog preamps. The onboard UAD DSP lets you track through effects like compression and EQ in real time without taxing your computer's CPU, and the included Realtime Analog Classics Plus plug-in package gives you studio-quality processing right out of the box. The 15-foot Mogami CorePlus XLR cable rounds out the bundle, ensuring a clean, reliable connection between mic and interface with REAN connectors built for long-term durability.
