Condenser mic for mix-ready recordings

The Shure SM4 is a condenser microphone for studio-quality recordings and features a cardioid polar pattern that ensures a focused recording of both vocals and acoustic instruments in a frequency range that spans from 20Hz to 20kHz. The mic's dual-diaphragm brass capsule has been specifically designed to achieve remarkable accuracy and exceptional control of low frequencies, in addition to which the unique Interference Shielding Technology blocks unwanted RF noises from wireless devices such as smartphones. This set also includes a shock mount with a detachable magnetic pop filter and a carrying case for transporting the microphone safely and with ease. Thanks to its impressive range of features, recordings made with the SM4 will not require any further editing, which in turn makes for a more effective production process.

Modern technology for a clean capture

At the heart of the Shure SM4 is a 1" dual diaphragm made of brass, and the microphone provides both superior off-axis rejection of unwanted noise and a reduced proximity effect thanks to its uniform cardioid polar pattern and large "sweet spot", respectively. In addition to the Interference Shielding Technology, a woven mesh Faraday cage effectively shields the Shure SM4 to ensure a clean signal, while an integrated pop filter suppresses plosive sounds during vocal recordings. Signals with a sound pressure level (SPL) of up to 140dB can also be captured without distortion, and the SM4's sensitivity of -94dB/Pa will ensure that the signal reaches the DAW or mixing console with sufficient gain.

Shure SM4 with pop filter and shock mount

Clean sound, zero noise

The Shure SM4 was designed for music producers who want to achieve clean and mix-ready recordings without excessive complications, and its capsule will provide a clear sound capture with a smooth, detail-rich treble response and a controlled low end for both vocal and acoustic instrument recordings. As mentioned above, the mic's Interference Shielding Technology and integrated pop filter effectively reduce noise, while the included shock mount eliminates solid-borne sound and the SM4's rugged all-metal construction makes it robust enough to capably stand up to a wide variety of applications. The Shure SM4 boasts the same outstanding level of reliability as all of the company's other microphones thanks to Shure's decades of experience in this field, in addition to which its streamlined design means that neither the artist nor their surroundings will be obscured.

About Shure

The American company Shure began developing microphones during the early 1930s and is one of the pioneers of the audio engineering sector. Models such as the 55 Unidyne - known to many as the "Elvis microphone" - and the SM57 and SM58 which appeared in the mid-1960s are still ubiquitous in live sound production today. They enjoy cult status among musicians and technicians alike. In the 1990s, Shure introduced the first wireless microphones and in-ear monitoring systems and became a market leader in this field. In addition to microphones, Shure offers a wide range of earphones and headphones for studio and live use, as well as various accessories.

Recording made fast and easy

The shock mount included in the Shure SM4 Kit can be mounted on a microphone stand (not included), and the SM4 itself is then attached to the shock mount. The microphone features an XLR output for connection to the DAW via an audio interface, and users should note here that, being a condenser microphone, it will require a 48V phantom power supply in order to operate. Once the relevant connections have been made, the SM4 is ready for unrestricted recording. Users can subsequently edit their recorded files in a DAW, e.g. to enhance the EQ settings, reduce unwanted frequencies of specific instruments or voices, boost certain frequencies to achieve a particular sound character, or add some extra punch through the use of a compressor.

Mir gefällt's

Schorsch Zulaut 04.10.2024

Der Sound eines Mikrofons ist immer auch ein Stück Geschmacksache. Ich habe schon mit einigen Großmembranern gearbeitet. Darunter U87, Rode NT1, Röhrenmikros usw. Sicher hat jedes seine Eigenheiten aber noch nie habe ich so wenig am EQ schrauben müssen wie am SM4. Da das Mikro gerade erst auf den Markt gekommen ist konnte ich bisher nur Stimmen aufnehmen und das war immer überzeugend. Egal ob Männlein oder Weiblein. Ich bin gespannt auf die kommenden Einsätze, auch als Instrumentenmikro. Kann sein, dass es dann keine überragende Figur mach aber Shure hat das Mikro speziell für die Gesangsaufnahme entwickelt. Das Grundrauschen möchte ich mal als sehr zurückhaltend bezeichnen.

Das Mikro ist sehr wertig verarbeitet und der magnetische Windscreen ist ebenso wie die Spinne über jeden Zweifel erhaben. Von mir gibt es die volle Punktzahl auch weil das Mikro sehr schonend mit der Geldbörse umgeht.

Das Shure sm4 gefällt mir für den Gesang nicht so gut wie mein T-bone Mikrofon da fehlen für meinen Gemacht etwas höhen. Zum abnehmen von Instrumenten (Akustikgitarre) finde ich es dafür sehr gut mit einer Ausgewogenen Balance zwischen Höhen Mitten und Bass

Qualité de fabrication et bon son

Erix1234 08.09.2024

C'est mon premier micro à condensateur, pour compléter mon bon vieux SM58, qui a plus de 40 ans. Fabrication de qualité, facile à monter avec son filtre anti-pop magnétique, et sa pince sur élastique (il y en 4 de rechange), et il y a une petite valise de transport. Les premier tests sont concluants, le son est pur, propre, très clair, et il y a une bonne dynamique. Le son est donc facile à travailler dans mon DAW, car il n'y a pas de défaut. Je découvre les micros à condensateur, tout en restant fidèle à Shure, et je trouve que pour ce prix, la qualité est au rendez-vous.
