SM7B har i senere tid fått en betydelig renessanse. Den er mange studio og PA-teknikeres problemløser, fordi SM7B gir en helt særegen nær og varm lyd. Brukes blant annet til radio, vokal, instrument, PA, basstromme. Shure SM7B kan man ofte se i bruk til vokal i studio, hvor dyre rørmikrofoner står ubrukt ved siden av. Den er også suveren til trompet.
Shure SM7B ble opprinnelig designet for bruk i radiostudio, men er i dag også kjent for å være en problemløser for vokalopptak i studio. I kombinasjon med en god mikrofonforsterker, sitter vokalen i miksen som spikret midt mellom høyttalerne.
The SM7B dynamic microphone has a smooth, flat, wide-range frequency response appropriate for music and speech in all professional audio applications. It features excellent shielding against electromagnetic hum generated by computer monitors, neon lights, and other electrical devices.
The SM7B has been updated from earlier models with an improved bracket design that offers greater stability. In addition to its standard windscreen, it also includes the A7WS windscreen for close-talk applications.
