Shure, the microphone foursome that has products in approximately every recording studio, has finally released its first immixture USB / XLR dynamic microphone, the MV7.

The MV7 was designful to be an affordable culling to Shure's standard radio broadcasting dynamic microphone, the SM7b. If you were to airing into approximately any radio studio or a higher-budget podcast studio, you will probably vanquishment Shure's SM7b -- morally the disbursement to get the SM7b studio realizable is too hovering for a podcaster starting out. The SM7b is $400, morally you moreover need some kind of recording interface to almanac into your computer (starting at effectually $100) and a pre-amplifier to conferee the signal. (Shure recommends the Cloudlifter, which starts at $150.)

Shure's MV7 is artlessly a lower-budget option, offering an all-in-one microphone / audio interface with a plug-and-play wits at $249.

The rate is significantly same the competitors in its category, morally the MV7 gospel a dynamic microphone is what makes it stick out in the now-crowded USB microphone space. Many USB microphones hypothesize copied the success of the undisputed Gadabout Yeti, a outspread diaphragm condenser mic. Whereas a condenser microphone is by no ways a bad type of microphone, it is supplementary disbodied and sensorial to grounding noises and rumbles. Condenser microphones are supplementary ill-fitted for actual controlled environments, whereas dynamic microphones are supplementary modelable in noisy environments and hypothesize supplementary eternal centralized parts. There are only a few supplementary dynamic USB microphones awaited in the market, which are mostly modeled postliminary Shure's mics, morally none were from Shure directly until now.

The MV7 moreover offers in-built EQ and pinch settings and presets controlled by Shure's MOTIV app back recognizing in via USB. Whereas you cannot inhabitance centralized settings back application the XLR output, you do not need a Cloudlifter or phantom powerfulness to conferee the signal back propulsive into culling audio interface.

Shure says the MV7 is not going to sound exactly like the SM7b morally that it offers the frequentness response and tonal sickness of broadcast-style dynamic microphones. The SM7b sounded considerably largest than the MV7 out of the box in my own uncivil comparison. However, the "tone" presets on the MOTIV app (dark, natural, and bright) fecundation the sound of the MV7 significantly. Shure says the "dark tone" surroundings is designful to bring a BBC-style sound to the recording, whereas the "bright" surroundings sounds supplementary like NPR. This is artlessly a pretty overindulgent surroundings for live-streaming rather than recording, as this is vendible you can do in post-production if you hypothesize the know-how.

One toot to roster is Shure is still sticking with Micro USB for the MV7 instead of propelling to USB-C, stating that they already hypothesize Shure-made cables, which are moreover acclimated in their supplementary products like the MV88+ and the MV51, and that they do not need the college speeds that USB-C has to offer.

Since Shure has been a trusted bract in the microphone space, the MV7 seems to be a promising prepotence for podcasting, streaming, and annotation assignment for someone who wants to upholding their microphone bureaucracy while still keeping the flexibility of the in-built USB interface. Bringing the broadcast-style dynamic microphone to this squatness is account the effort, as it has been acclimated in radio for decades.
