Q: Does this come with a pop filter/foam screen and are cords sold separately?
A: Hello! The MV7's included foam screen will also protect from unwanted plosives (acting as its own pop filter). The product includes 1 - Micro-B to USB-C Cable (10ft) and 1 - Micro-B to USB-A Cable (10ft). The MV7 is also compatible with our (free) desktop app for additional configuration of the microphone's audio. Thank You!
Q: How different is this mic from its predecessor the shure sm7b?
A: While they look similar, they are a bit different. Primarily, this mic offers a USB connection that makes it super versatile. You also have XLR and onboard monitor out. Overall mic does a great job with vocals and noise cancellation. Very good for voice/podcast recording. Shure software makes overall adjustments very simple for presence and tone. If you are looking for higher-end quality that made sm7b famous, you may want to stick with that and deal with the complexity of connecting and adjusting to your needs. If you want a simple and convenient option that works really well and sets up directly with your computer, this is a good option, I’m happy with this model.
A: Yes but you'll need to download the Shure app. You can save several different settings.
Q: Do you need a audio interface for this?
A: Hi - The MV7 has two separate options for connection, a USB or a standard XLR. The standard XLR connection would require an interface for computers and laptops to convert the analog into a digital audio signal. Using the USB option requires no interface and is compatible with a Shure provided free desktop app to either automatically or manually configure the microphone audio to your needs. Thank you!
A: Hello! The MV7 is a dynamic microphone and does not require phantom power. Thank You!
Q: What is the thread size for the mount connection?
A: Hello! The MV7 microphone comes equipped with a 5/8"-27 threaded mount, the thread size most commonly found on microphone stands. Thank You!
Q: Is a pop filter not needed with this microphone?
A: Hello! The MV7 comes with its own foam cover reducing the amount of unwanted pops and plosives. It's also compatible with a free App (Windows/Mac /iOS /Android) that can further configure the audio to your situation (either automatically or manually). Thank You!
