Switching Microphone Orientation - Shure SM7d1B Manual

① Bass Rolloff Switch To reduce the bass, push the top-left switch down. This can help lower background hum from A/C,
HVAC, or traffic.
② Presence Boost For a brighter sound in mid-range frequencies, push the top-right switch up. This can help improve vocal
clarity.
③ Bypass Switch Push the bottom-left switch to the left to bypass the preamp and achieve the classic SM7B sound.
④ Preamp Switch To adjust the gain on the built-in preamp, push the bottom-right switch to the left for +18 dB and to the right
for +28 dB.

Switching Microphone Orientation

The SM7dB can be mounted on a boom arm or a stand. The default setup for the SM7dB is for a boom mount. To keep the
rear panel facing upright when mounted on a stand, reconfigure the mounting assembly.
To set up the SM7dB for a microphone stand:
1. Remove tightening nuts on the sides.
2. Remove the fitted washers, the lock washers, the outer brass washers, and the brass sleeves.
3. Slide the bracket off the microphone. Be careful not to lose the washers still on the microphone.
4. Invert and rotate the bracket. Slide it back onto the bolts over the brass and plastic washers still on the microphone.
The bracket should fit so the XLR connector faces the rear of the microphone and the Shure logo on the back of the mi­
crophone is right-side up.
5. Replace the brass sleeves. Be sure they are seated properly within the inner washers.
6. Replace the outer brass washers, the lock washers, and the fitted washers.
7. Replace the tightening nuts and tighten the microphone at the desired angle.
Note: If the tightening nuts do not hold the microphone in place, you may need to re-position the brass sleeves and the washers.
