Shure SM7B Microphone - Pro Quality and Clarity

The wide-range frequency response of the SM7B preserves the natural beauty of the sound it captures. With its detailed audio profile, words may travel far, but they always arrive at their destination with quality and clarity intact. The air suspension shock isolation and the pop filter eliminate both mechanical noise and breathiness, so words get through and the rest stays out of the mix. Shure added advanced electromagnetic shielding to defeat hum from computer monitors and other studio equipment. A detachable close-talk windscreen and switch cover plate are included.

Shure SRH440 Headphones - Calibrated for Professional Audio

The SRH440 Professional Studio Headphones from Shure provide exceptional sound reproduction and comfort. Optimized for home and studio recording, SRH440 headphones reproduce accurate audio across an extended range. Impedance, power handling and sensitivity are all calibrated for professional audio devices such as DJ mixers, mixing consoles, and headphone amplifier. Includes carrying bag and threaded 1/4" (6.3mm) gold plated adapter.
