A hybrid mic that takes the headache out of recording. You can plug it straight into your laptop via USB-C or use XLR if you upgrade your setup later. It captures a really natural, warm vocal tone and is basically foolproof for podcasting from the co...
Shure MV7+ Podcast Mic with Stand, USB-C & XLR
The undisputed industry standard for a reason. It rejects background noise beautifully, so you don't hear the AC running or the dog barking outside. It requires a bit of power to run, but the smooth, rich sound it produces is incredibly relaxing to l...
Shure SM7B Dynamic Studio Microphone - XLR
A straightforward, reliable condenser for capturing acoustic instruments or vocals. It picks up a lot of natural detail without sounding harsh or clinical, making it a great anchor for a quiet, low-stress home studio setup.
Shure SM4 Studio Mic Kit, XLR Condenser
Built specifically to handle loud, sharp noises without distorting. We use this on the snare drum to get a clean, punchy sound that cuts through the mix naturally without needing a ton of digital editing later.
Shure Nexadyne 6 Tom/Snare Drum Mic NXN6
This solves the main issue with the classic SM7B by having a built-in preamp. It gives you that same buttery, broadcast-quality voice but saves you the hassle of buying and wiring up extra external gear. A very clean, all-in-one solution.
Shure SM7dB Dynamic Vocal Mic with Preamp
The classic "Elvis" mic. It looks amazing on camera or on stage, but underneath that vintage shell, it’s got modern, reliable hardware that rejects feedback and keeps your vocals clear and front-and-center.
Shure Super 55 Deluxe XLR Vintage Vocal Mic
A really crisp handheld mic that’s perfect for live singing or speaking. The included pop filter tames the harsh consonants, leaving you with a very smooth, natural flow to the audio that doesn't wear out the listener's ears.
Shure BETA 87C Vocal Mic w/ Pop Filter
The ultimate travel setup. If you're recording on the go, this little rig plugs right into your phone and captures stereo sound that is miles better than the built-in mic. Great for capturing ambient nature sounds or quick, impromptu interviews.
Shure MV88+ Video Kit - Stereo Mic w/ Tripod
A no-nonsense bundle that covers the basics for recording a drum kit. You get three rugged SM57s and a solid kick drum mic. It takes the guesswork out of miking up a kit so you can just focus on playing.
Shure Drum Microphone Kit DMK57-52
A highly focused live vocal mic. The supercardioid pattern means it only picks up what’s right in front of it, tuning out the chaos of the room so you get a clean, uninterrupted vocal track.
Shure Nexadyne 8/S SuperCardioid Vocal Mic
This one has a dual-diaphragm design that practically eliminates the "proximity effect"—meaning your voice doesn't get overly boomy if you lean in too close. It’s a very forgiving mic that makes the whole recording process feel effortless.
Shure KSM8 Dualdyne Dynamic Vocal Microphone
A tiny, flexible clip-on mic for horns or acoustic instruments. It stays out of the way and moves with the instrument, capturing a very organic sound without feeling clunky or restricting your movement.
Shure BETA 98H/C Mini Instrument Mic XLR
A premium studio condenser that just sounds expensive. The champagne finish is a nice, calming touch. It’s incredibly precise but still has a warm, natural character that makes acoustic guitars and vocals sound massive.
Shure KSM32 Cardioid Condenser Mic - Champagne
A slim, pencil-style condenser. We usually point these at acoustic instruments or use them as drum overheads. It captures the crisp, airy details of the room perfectly without overcomplicating the setup.
Shure KSM 137/SL Cardioid Condenser Mic
A high-end capsule for wireless systems. It lets you switch between pickup patterns depending on the room, giving you studio-level precision with the freedom to actually walk around and perform naturally without tripping over cables.
