A Mic at Home in Any Studio

Though Shure bills the SM4 as a “home recording microphone,” many professional studio engineers are tempted to bring it wherever their recording sessions lead them! For starters, the SM4’s 1-inch dual-diaphragm brass capsule provides both a full 20Hz–20kHz frequency response and a uniform true cardioid polar pattern with excellent off-axis rejection. There’s also Shure’s patent-pending Interference Shielding Technology, which deftly blocks the undesirable radio frequency noises from wireless devices that often plague home recording environments. Next, an internal pop filter plus a high max sound pressure level (SPL) handling means that the SM4 gives you quality audio that’s free of booms, pops, and plosives right from the start. Finally, the all-metal, low-profile design instantly adds a professional aesthetic to any home studio, fitting perfectly alongside any world-class mics you may already own.

Smooth, natural audio from any source

The heart of the SM4 is its 1-inch dual-diaphragm brass capsule, which delivers smooth and controlled low-end with crystal-clear highs that don’t sound harsh or shrill. The uniform true cardioid polar pattern also ensures that your captured sounds will be source-centric, and the SM4’s large “sweet spot” significantly attenuates the low-end boominess that can result from close-miking. The SM4 has also been designed to be as versatile as possible, able to record a variety of instruments and vocal styles thanks to its very high max SPL handling. Guitar amps, horns, metal vocalists, and even drums are all in play with the Shure SM4.

No radio noise

Just imagine, you’ll still be able to record with the Shure SM4 even if your teenager is texting on their phone or your little one is playing with an app on their tablet (or both)! That’s because Shure’s patent-pending Interference Shielding Technology prevents meddlesome RF noise from cell phones, laptops, wi-fi routers, and other common wireless devices. Featuring an integrated pop filter and woven mesh Faraday cage that shields the aforementioned mic capsule, this proprietary system virtually guarantees clean audio without any static, pops, or other unexpected “guests.”
