M7

The M7 is a general-purpose cardioid condenser microphone for musicians and content creators who need one mic that handles most jobs. Its frequency response runs from 30 Hz to 18 kHz with emphasis on a warm, round top end that flatters the human voice, so vocals, podcasts, and live streams sit forward without harshness. The back electret condenser capsule captures detail from acoustic guitar, piano, and percussion as well. The cardioid polar pattern records what you point the mic at while rejecting sound from the sides and rear, which matters in untreated rooms where reflections and computer fan noise would otherwise end up in the take. Maximum SPL handling of 134 dB at 1 kHz means the M7 also works on loud sources like electric guitar cabinets and snare drums, a range many condensers cannot cover. Output impedance is 150 ohms, sensitivity is -38 dB plus or minus 3 dB, equivalent noise level is 19 dB SPL A-weighted, and the signal-to-noise ratio is 75 dB. It runs on 48V phantom power from any interface or mixer. Construction is rugged, which suits a mic that gets moved between a desk, a rehearsal room, and a stage. A hard stand mount, a 10 ft XLR cable, and a carry case are included, so nothing else is needed to start recording. For home studios, streaming setups, and first-time podcast rigs, the M7 covers vocals, instruments, and loud amps with one purchase.
