Studio microphone SM7 branded backplate

Custom Mic Plate for Shure SM7B / SM7dB

The Shure SM7B has become a modern icon for voice recording. You see it in podcast studios, streaming setups, radio booths, and video production rooms around the world. Because it’s so recognizable, it also creates a challenge: many sets start to look identical. A custom mic plate is a small detail that makes a surprisingly big difference, turning a familiar microphone into a visual element that belongs to your brand.

This product is a personalized replacement plate designed specifically for the SM7B (and compatible SM7dB). It sits on the rear section of the microphone and gives you a clean, built-in space for custom artwork. Add your logo, show name, channel identity, sponsor mark, or any graphic that fits your style. The result is a professional, intentional look that appears naturally in camera frames—no tape, no stickers, and no “temporary” DIY feel.

Why a mic plate matters on camera

If you record video content, the microphone is often one of the most prominent objects in the shot. Viewers may not consciously focus on it, but it influences how your production feels. A branded plate helps your set look cohesive, especially when you’re publishing across multiple platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, live streams, and clips). It’s also useful when you collaborate with guests or rotate hosts, because your identity stays visible without needing to change overlays, lower-thirds, or camera framing.

For organizations and media teams, consistent branding is more than aesthetics. It supports trust and recognition, particularly when segments are shared out of context. For creators, it’s a simple way to look established and intentional. And for agencies or studios producing content for clients, a customized mic plate can be tailored per show, per season, or per client—making the same core gear feel bespoke.

Great for sponsorships and partnerships

If your show includes sponsors, the mic plate becomes a natural placement opportunity. Because it’s part of the microphone, it’s visible during the moments that matter most—when someone is speaking. That makes it a practical add-on for sponsored episodes, branded series, event coverage, and special campaigns. You can keep a consistent “main” plate for your brand and rotate alternate plates for partners when needed, creating a clean and repeatable workflow for monetized content.

Lightweight and practical

This plate is made from durable plastic and designed for a clean, professional finish. Plastic keeps the accessory lightweight and comfortable for everyday studio use, while still giving you a crisp, consistent look on camera—without changing your audio workflow.

How customization works

To personalize your plate, you simply provide the artwork you want printed. A crisp, high-quality file will always produce the best result, especially for small text, fine lines, or detailed logos. If your logo uses transparency (for example, a PNG with a cut-out background), think about what background you actually want to appear behind it. If you want a specific background color or a full-coverage design, include that background in your artwork so the final look matches your intention.

Popular design ideas include:

• Your channel or studio logo.
• The podcast name and episode season branding.
• A sponsor logo for a limited run.
• A minimal monochrome mark for a clean “broadcast” aesthetic.
• A bold graphic pattern that matches your set colors.

Simple installation

Installation is straightforward and does not require technical skills. The plate aligns with the existing mounting points on the microphone. In most setups, you remove the existing screws, position the new plate in the orientation you prefer, and secure it back in place. It’s a quick upgrade that immediately changes the look of your SM7B without affecting your sound, your settings, or how you use the microphone day to day.

Who it’s for

• Podcasters who want a distinct studio look.
• Streamers and YouTubers who care about brand presence in frame.
• Radio and broadcast teams aiming for consistent on-air identity.
• News and media departments producing interviews and statements.
• Studios creating content for multiple clients and campaigns.

Before you order

Please use only artwork you own or have permission to use, especially if it includes brand logos, mascots, or licensed imagery. If you’re unsure about the best file format or want guidance on making your design look sharp, prepare a high-resolution version and avoid tiny text or very thin lines. Once installed, your custom plate becomes a clean, professional signature—one that makes your SM7B feel truly part of your brand.
