Hi Glenn,
to me it sounds more that you are handling the mic in a wrong way in your recording session.
Imo an eq can not make a better track out of it, because the basic signal is "bad"
It´s hard to guess what reason it might have, but if not done, try to move
the angle and the distance of your mic. The cardioid caracteristic of that mic give several possibilities- sure you know!
On the other hand,if you are treating the sm7b right aso, this sort of mic seems to be the wrong choice for you,
then I would recommend to try a condenser mic.
Have fun
