Overview of Shure SM4 Home Recording Microphone w/ Hardmount - Black

SM4 dual diaphragm condenser microphone with hard mount.

Bring the studio home with the SM4 from Shure, a large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed to provide home studios with accuracy and controlled low frequencies. Ideal for vocal and instrument recording, the SM4 features a 1" brass dual-diaphragm capsule and a patented RF shielding design for blocking unwanted interference.

The very high SPL handling of 140 dB allows you to capture sound sources like amplified instruments, drums, and epic vocal belts without fear. The internal pop filter helps reduce pesky plosives and rumbles for cleaner recordings. The low-profile design helps to avoid obscuring subjects on camera, ideal for streaming and content creation. The SM4 includes a swiveling clip mount and a zipper-carrying bag.

Smooth and Natural Audio Reproduction
Equipped with a brass 1" dual-diaphragm capsule, the SM4 captures clean, controlled low-end and smooth, detailed highs. The uniform cardioid polar pattern provides superior off-axis rejection of unwanted noise, and the large sweet spot reduces the proximity effect.

Patent-Pending Interference Shielding Technology
Block unwanted RF noise from common wireless devices, including cell phones, laptops, and wi-fi routers. The proprietary system features an integrated pop filter and a woven mesh Faraday cage that shields the microphone capsule for clean audio capture.

Effortless Mix-Ready Sound
The internal pop filter enables clean, plosive- and rumble-free recordings for easier postproduction work. Compress or EQ to taste without bringing forward unwanted elements that can plague recordings and mixes. Additionally, the SM4's XLR output works with any interface to achieve professional-quality recordings, no matter the environment.

Exceptional Recording Flexibility
Optimized to capture a wide range of sound sources, from soft vocals to loud instruments, including drums, guitar amps, and horns, the SM4 sports an exceptionally high SPL handling of 140 dB.

Durable and Camera-Ready Design
The SM4 sports a rugged, all-metal construction featuring cast Zinc. A sleek, low-profile design won't obscure the performer or environment, making an excellent streaming companion.
