Those criticisms aside, there’s no doubt that the Shure MV7 is the microphone to buy for podcasters and streamers looking to up their audio game. There are some differences. The SM7B has a much flatter frequency response between 50 and 200 Hz, which means that most voices will retain their desirable warm, smooth richness. Its frequency response range is also slightly broader at the top end too - 50 Hz - 20 kHz vs 50 Hz - 16 kHz for the MV7 - which makes it a better mic for recording some instruments such as guitar. What impressed us about the Shure MV7 was the fact it aims to do two things, and it achieves them both successfully. For less tech-savvy users, the MOTIV app and ease-of-use you get from the USB connection is ideal. It works in exactly the way you’d want it to, and is as simple as it gets thanks to helpful tools like the auto-level mode and voice isolation technology. Put simply, if you’ve got a voice it’ll sound great through the MV7. Needed it for sampling, synth input, and work (Zoom/Teams). Plugs into synth and laptop and can be used for both without needing to mess with cables. Solid quality equipment. Now, Shure has released the brand new MV7 microphone designed especially for podcasters, streamers and vocalists looking for convenient USB and XLR connectivity without compromising their audio. Clearly inspired by the SM7B, the MV7 has a whole set of cool features for content creators and musicians.
Hereby, Shure Incorporated declares that this product with CE Marking has been determined to be in compliance with European Union requirements. We are aware and working on resolving an issue where the app stalls at launch/loading for some users. We will post here with more information once we have an update. It takes just minutes to get au fait with the SM7B's feature set, perhaps less. You'll find two windshields in the box, a standard tapered design for most voice and instrument applications and a slightly more bulbous A7WS version for broadcast. Shure claims that the A7WS offers more protection from plosive breath noise but in our experience we rarely see anyone use it. More commonly, artists will remove the windshield completely to improve the SM7B's top-end response.As producers, you struggle to get inspired if you're using the same thing. A lot of times, a piece of analogue gear can break you out of that rut" – Shaun Lopez on crafting synth sounds for the long-awaited second album from Crosses
So why would someone opt instead for a shiny, new MV7? Well, there are plenty of reasons, actually, and we’ll try to make that as clear as possible right here. But we’d stress that these microphones really complement rather than compete against each other. For example, someone might use an MV7 for streaming from home and a trusty SM7B for studio recording. Or maybe your podcasting rig is already running an SM7B and you’ll want the MV7 for remote guests and recording on the road. The SM7B has gained legendary status among producers, recording engineers and podcasters alike. Many will accept nothing else, but should they (and streamers) consider the new MV7 microphone instead? The MV7 microphone comes equipped with a 5/8"-27 threaded mount, the thread size most commonly found on microphone stands. This mount can be used with a microphone stand or hung from a boom. Some stands may require an adapter, which is not provided. First the similarities. Both the SM7B and MV7 are low sensitivity, cardioid dynamic microphones with relatively flat frequency responses and high dynamic ranges. Neither can compete with even an average condenser microphone in terms of frequency range, which means they struggle at the high and low ends.Consequently, they don't paint as accurate a picture as a condenser microphone will, a trait that seems undesirable but can be a distinct advantage. Hiss, hum, rumble and other sonic nasties sit at these extremes, which is why this pair of Shure mics have such an unrivalled reputation for rejecting ambient noise.
