The MV7 Podcast Kit Microphone is the perfect dynamic microphone for podcasting, home recording and gaming. Voice Isolation Technology separates your voice from unwanted background noise. Includes USB and XLR outputs. Includes the Manfrotto PIXI Mini Tripod. The free ShurePlus MOTIV app allows for added functionality via the USB connection.
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!
