Shure SM7B

As seen on YouTube, the SM7B is the industry standard for broadcasting, with excellent off-axis cancellation and overall speech intelligibility. However, with the right comination of preamp and compressor it will also serve as a great mic for vocal recording.

At the correct distance, the SM7B provides excellent resistance to sibilance and plosives and has integrated switches for low-end roll-off as well as mid-range boost, which helps to enhance different types of voices or sound sources.
