Product Features

Key advantages of the Shure SM4 microphone:

• 1-inch brass dual-diaphragm capsule — precisely captures every detail of performance
• Interference Shielding Technology — protects against RF interference from wireless devices
• Built-in pop filter — eliminates plosives during recording
• Uniform cardioid polar pattern — excellent source separation
• Maximum SPL 140 dB — ideal for recording loud sources
• Metal construction — durability and elegance

Unmatched Sound Quality for Your Productions

The heart of the SM4 microphone is a 1-inch brass condenser capsule with a dual diaphragm, optimized to maintain exceptional tonal accuracy. The result? Every vocal, every note of an instrument is captured with full emotion and nuances of artistic performance.

A frequency response of 20 Hz – 20 kHz ensures both powerful, controlled bass and crystal-clear highs. The cardioid pattern creates a wide optimal recording area, reducing the proximity effect and allowing for greater freedom of movement in front of the microphone.

Innovative Interference Protection

The patented Interference Shielding Technology represents a breakthrough in recording clarity. A specially designed Faraday Cage-style shield surrounding the capsule effectively blocks unwanted radio interference generated by devices commonly found in home spaces — mobile phones, laptops, Wi-Fi routers, and other electronic gadgets.

Combined with the internal pop filter, this advanced interference elimination architecture ensures recordings are ready for mixing without time-consuming correction — just light compression or EQ to bring out the full potential of your recording session.
