The Shure MV7+ Podcast Microphone, presented here in black, simplifies the process of achieving a professional podcast sound. Similar to its predecessor, the MV7, the MV7+ is a premium, broadcast-quality dynamic microphone that provides a clear and vibrant audio experience. It is equipped with both a traditional XLR connection and a USB port, enabling compatibility with audio interfaces, mixers, hard disk recorders, as well as direct connections to computers and mobile devices. However, this enhanced "+" version introduces several significant features designed to elevate your podcasting experience. These include a customizable full-color LED touch panel with metering, enhanced DSP capabilities for superior sound quality with reduced noise, three reverb settings, a USB-C connector, and seamless integration with Shure's MOTIV Mix software, offering comprehensive control over a broad array of sound-sculpting options. Legendary Broadcast Sound The microphone draws its design and acoustic characteristics from the renowned Shure SM7B, a staple in numerous podcasts and radio shows. When utilized in close range to the speaker's voice, it produces a sound that is clear, articulate, and of superior quality. Its frequency response is tailored to ensure a rich and authentic vocal reproduction. Additionally, the MV7+ is highly compatible with vocalists and musicians, capable of managing sound pressure levels up to 128 dB and offering an extensive frequency range from 50 Hz to 16 kHz. Works with Your Analog or Digital Setup Due to its various output options, this microphone is compatible with almost any podcasting configuration. It can be utilized with your audio interface, field recorder, mixer, or computer via USB-C, in addition to certain Android and iOS devices. Furthermore, the device holds MFi certification. Rugged Appointments for Sound and Use The foam windscreen provided has been enhanced to create an air gap, which significantly improves protection against plosives and p-pops, thereby streamlining your editing workflow. The microphone features a robust design with an all-metal construction, ensuring reliability in critical situations, and comes equipped with a ready-to-mount yoke. Additionally, this setup includes an adjustable desktop stand that features a no-skid base for stability. Unidirectional Polar Pattern for the Untreated Room The microphone is designed with a unidirectional cardioid polar pattern, providing an effective natural barrier against ambient noise. This configuration primarily captures sound from the front, significantly reducing the likelihood of picking up background noise compared to an omnidirectional microphone. Depending on the specific acoustics of your environment, some room treatment may still be necessary, or you might consider utilizing the microphone's noise-reduction software to mitigate issues like the hum from your computer or the sound of your air conditioning. However, the probability of encountering such issues is considerably diminished when using a cardioid polar pattern. Integrated Controls & High-Quality USB Audio The microphone features broadcast-quality specifications and user-friendly functionality on the USB side. It allows for audio capture at sample rates and resolutions reaching up to 48 kHz / 24-bit, which is the industry standard for editing and mixing broadcast audio. The integrated touch-panel interface on the microphone enables users to manage levels, headphone volumes, monitor mix, and microphone muting. Built-In 3.5mm Headphone Monitoring with Mix Control The microphone is equipped with a headphone jack for real-time monitoring. By connecting a pair of headphones to the MV7+'s 3.5mm jack, users can enjoy their high-quality audio in its full detail. Additionally, the MOTIV Mix desktop application allows for individual adjustment of mic output and system audio playback levels through dedicated sliders. What's New?

Don't want a constant hot mic? Instantly mute the MV7+ by tapping anywhere on the LED panel. Real-Time Denoiser: Cutting-edge DSP technology eliminates ambient noise in your room and complements the mic's Voice Isolation Technology to ensure you sound great, even in imperfect recording conditions. Digital Popper Stopper: A virtual pop filter removes harsh plosive sounds, so you can avoid acoustic distractions on your audio tracks and a physical pop filter on camera when you're filming. Improved Auto-Level Mode: The improved Auto-Level function adjusts your mic's gain based on distance, volume, and spatial detection for optimized audio levels. Onboard Reverb: 3 types of onboard reverb settings (Plate, Hall, and Studio) provide enhanced depth and richness in music recordings. Hybrid XLR and USB-C Outputs: the dual options provide easy connectivity no matter the recording setup you're using. The micro-USB connector from the MV7 has been upgraded to a USB-C connector on the MV7+. MOTIV Mix integration: MOTIV Mix software is the key to unlock powerful onboard DSP features in every MV7+ when using the USB-C output. Configure and set up your microphone to personalize the vibrant LED touch panel and optimize mic settings including the sound signature, gain, EQ, compressor, limiter, and more. Save presets for instant recall of settings.
