Powering the SM7dB Preamplifier

Important: The SM7dB requires +48 V phantom power to operate with the preamplifier engaged. It will operate in bypass

mode without phantom power.

To deliver audio directly to a computer, use an audio interface with an XLR input that provides +48 V phantom power, such as

the Shure MVi or MVX2U, and turn phantom power on.

When connecting to a mixer, use only balanced, microphone-level inputs with phantom power. Turn phantom power on for the

channel your SM7dB is connected to.

Depending on your interface or mixer, phantom power may be enabled through a switch, a button, or control software. Refer to

the user guide for your interface or mixer to learn how to engage phantom power.
