I am responsible for the imaging of 10 radio stations in Switzerland. We have equipped our station voice with a Shure MV7, as he still flies around the world as a Swiss Airline pilot and records our voice overs in the closet of the respective hotel room. And it sounds fantastic. We even put the previous $3000 Neumann U87 in the corner in the studio and record all voice overs with the Shure MV7, as his voice provides even better raw material for post production. Highly recommended this part, definitely also suitable for professional use. Thumbs up! I love it!

I love my MV7 except for the plosives. Ive had to put a SM7B foam filter on it, as there are none made specifically for the MV7 yet but it does work.

Thumbs up 1. ) No iformation overload with two many mic comparisons 2.** Discussed slowly so required no constant rewinding 3. Great graphic visuals with the names of the mics above them 4. Perfect for a beginner like me thx!!!

this is so underrated you deserve to get to more than 1k subs

When you guys switched from mv7 to sm7b, i was like wow. There's a huge difference

Hey Jade. You should tell everybody that has Nvidia graphics cards to download RTX voice. It will blow your mind how good it does noise suppression. Go look up a KZfaq demonstration of it but every home podcaster needs to have RTX voice installed if they have Nvidia graphics cards. Very low CPU usage. Just operates in the background and is perfect and free. On a side note this was a really good demonstration video. Take care guys. Merry Christmas

I'm really happy with it. It just works out of the box with good quality unlike my previous USB microphone which was always a chore. The only thing that would make it better is to be able to do the DSP through the XLR not just through the USB. A noise gate in the DSP would also be a great option.

I work for the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at ASU, work in IT but I'm also the main AV technician for the school. We have several radio edit suites that we have SM7Bs and I had to turn the mics around due to the mounting position of our desk microphone booms. So true on the yoke mounts comment, they were a pain in the ass to put back together and he's spot on about all the washers. Love this new design and we'll be looking at upgrading all of our radio edit bays with these new MV7s. Currently we are running also an AVID MBox interfaces and we'll have to upgrade those as well since drivers are no longer supported under MacOS Catalina and beyond. We use Comrex boxes for telephone interviews and we'll need a single channel XLR I/O to get those into our iMacs. Any suggestions on a single channel I/O box? These sound fantastic! Thanks for the great detailed review and having a Shure representative on the vodcast. This is my first time running across Springtree Media Group's KZfaq page. Where you guys located?

Interesting that Jade sounded fuller on the SM7 but had a lot of pops. He sounded thinner on the MV7 but without the pops. Kevin got the same level of pop control on both mics with the SM7 sounding different not what I would define as fuller just different. Think the MV7 is gonna be more locked into podcasting and won't wander into the other use as dramatically as the SM7 did.

Especially for podcasting, it would be next to impossible to hear the difference between the SM7B and the MV7. Podcasts are listened to in the noisy environment of a car, on ear buds, cell phones, tablets, computer speakers... Not on studio monitors or home high fidelity speakers in a quiet room. Same goes for XLR or USB for the MV7. The MV7 is more like a cost effective update to the SM7B, considering on how podcasts are listened to.

Hi, in USB mode, does the headphone out on 1 mic output both mics? So one speaker can hear the other? And does the headphone out work (as mentioned above) if I choose another audio interface for the output of a DAW? So in the case I'm mixing the live session, I could use the headphone out of my audio interface. Regards

Which stand are you using for the Shure Mv7 please?

I Love My Shure MV7 But Can I Use 2 MV7 Microphones At The Same Time Using An Audio Interface Without Any Microphone Feedback Sitting Close To Each Other?

Hey what stand are you using ? I need something light weight for travel

Does the cute little mvi sitting on the table provide enough gain for the sm7b

The MV7 sounds great. Only thing I would change would be the pop filter. The pop filter of the SM7B fits the MV7 too.

I am just about to get the smb7 and audio interface for my podcast. Is it compulsory i get the preamp as well or with just the audio interface i am good to go???

what audio interface does Kevin have it connected too. thanks

I am a rookie at this sort of thing...not my field at all. On the other hand my partner and Podcast together and we often interview remote guests. I am told we need the Shure MV 7 so it looks like I need two plus the box between then along with two headsets, Right?

Hey Jade, awesome review in podcast fashion. Brilliantly analysed from you both. Could you recommend that multiple mic interface aggregator software Kevin mentioned please? I’d really appreciate that. Thank you.

What audio interface is Kevin using ? Makes his microphone sounds very excellent while my scarlett does this as well but not as clear

What kind of stands are you using ?

Currently we are testing two of them hooked up to a MAC via USB. However, having issues with getting each other's sound into both mics' headphones for monitoring. Trying to configure the MIDI Aggregate device. What settings were you using? Thanks in advance.

What was the brand of the head phones or could you provide link thank You

"Well Kevin, tell us about the MV7" "Shure" I see what you did there ;)

How would the MV7 be for recording an Alto saxophone

You were successful… I just bought an MV7!

I'd never in my life use dynamic microphones for podcast. I have a Shure mvi interface and that has saved me from throwing away all my dynamic microphones. The right equalizer settings bring the dynamic microphones to life.

Hi!!! Where did you get the mic stand? Thank you

Hello Audio Expert !! I own MV7 for 3 months now, I've heard some review that MV7 XLR mode is worst than USB mode, i havent tried that yet since i dont have audio interface, any fellow MV7 owners care to share their experience? Thanks :)

Great mic, but those PLOSIVES! Has no one at Shure noticed those and wanted to fix it??

With all the stuff needed to run the Color Snowmonster Microphone, I would not get it. There’s the Shure SM58. Get that, the A58WS windshield, the A55M Shockmount a 15 bucks XLR cable and for example the Behringer UMC202HD interface and some microphone arm or stand instead. Yes it’s more than the Snowmonster itself but overall it will come out as the better buy. The mount for the Snowmonster is like 60 bucks if not more, the microphone with the mount is very heavy and stands or boom arms arms capable of holding that are not cheap either. Also, all of that would not be upgradable. So yea... not worth it IMO.

Yes the plosives on this mic is really bad. Quality is very noticeable between the 2. Audio interface is RME

The windscreen provided with MV7 does not do its job well. Still here the p and t sound very clearly and it's kind of annoying.

Take an SM7b pop filter and put it on the MV7 to fix terrible polsives of the stock filter. Shure - I would get a new filter put on that thing right away.

Pretty sure it’s just Young Jamie running Rogan’s studio. Not 6 people.

I’ll save more and get sm7b

Plosives are out of control on this mic. Awful!! Sounds ok... But I'm extremely disappointed by the lack of plosive control on these mics. Given how cheap the foams are, I'm really hoping that sure redesigns the foams for this mic and releases them. (I have 2 MV7's on the way, but what I'm hearing right now makes me regret my decision to buy them. My sm58's (with AWS81 foams) are almost pop proof.

Mv7 pops allot

sm7b is the best. Dont settle for less people

Way too much plosives on the MV7 compared to the SM7B. You guys could have avoided that by speaking into the mics at an 45 degree angle. 🤷‍♂

plosive game so stonks

Comparing microphones 🎤 is pointless, it’s like comparing our voices. If you had 10 SM7Bs they wouldn’t be exactly the same! Each to their own.

If mv7 is better all podcasts would switch to them by now. Not sure how usb is better than xlr I am sure usb is for people with no knowledge of how instruments work.

didn't watch it all- the plosives are sooooooooo bad!!??

MV7 is too mid and high sounding. Not a vibe. Plus plosives aren't the best on it.

They brainstorm so hard that they came up with a micro USB port... 🤣 what a fail in 2021 👎👎👎

I can't believe the idiots at Shure leaned into this popularity of the SM-7B. It's a great mic for specific uses but the reason every other KZfaq creator and podcaster is using is has nothing to do with the technical merits of the microphone - it's because Joe Rogan uses it and because it looks somewhat cool. Why would you take that cache and ruin it with level LEDs and USB. The upside is that at least it is easy to spot the real know-nothing idiots .

Neither. I like tub mics.
