Yes, the Elgato Wave XLR Pro is compatible with the Shure SM7B.
Wave XLR Pro provides 80 dB max preamp gain. Shure SM7B sensitivity is -59 dBV/Pa. 80 dB gain provides substantial headroom for clean SM7B signal at normal talking distances without a Cloudlifter or preamp booster. Elgato explicitly states the Wave XLR Pro handles demanding dynamic microphones like the SM7B cleanly without a Cloudlifter.
