In today’s episode, we have a detailed look and listen to the SHURE MV7 podcast microphone. This USB/XLR hybrid microphone uses a dynamic design which is a great fit for recording at home or in other spaces without acoustical treatment. It sounds great when you connect to your computer or mobile device via USB and comes with an app which allows you to fine-tune the sound for your situation, even if you don’t know a lot about sound. But if you are more of a soundie, it also allows you to set some basic EQ settings, a limiter, and a compressor to even things out and increase the overall level of your audio.
If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses at school.learnlightandsound.com including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. Our latest course is Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini.

I just ordered up one to use as an office /zoom/ videoconferencing microphone when on site assignments where I don’t want to have to haul around the mix-pre audio bag to use my xlr mics, but of course can always use this mic with that gear as well. Sorry, I couldn’t use you affiliate links on this purchase, had to be Amazon Prime to ship to the post office in this small northern town in Canada where I am on a long site assignment.

First, Happy New Year Curtis. You've made my media production and podcast life much easier! Much appreciated. I have three questions: 1) any thoughts on after-market shock mounts for the MV7? 2) Was there any difference in the XLR and USB output sound or gain? 3) Just to confirm ... does system audio route back through the on-mic headphone jack so you can hear yourself and your guest(s)? I believe you mentioned "mic vs monitor level adjustment, but just wanted to confirm. Again, thanks for every thing you do for all of us!!!!
@curtisjudd
@curtisjudd 3 года назад

As a hapless victim of the Blue Yeti, I am blown away by the quality of the MV7. Your review also covered all bases and I was very impressed by your professionality while you did not go into needless details (like complex studio measurements which makes no sense in this price class). Also skipping the XLR makes perfect sense as it really makes little sense to buy with this mic and one would only use if you already own it, in which case a SM7B plus cloudlifter for 200 bucks plus audio interface for at least 180 bucks would be the play.

Fantastic review Curtis. One question...when using with XLR will the Shure 'save' it's settings after it's been unplugged from the app? I run a podcast and we have 4 Shures....but not 4 iphones or laptops! Therefore we record direct with XLR into a Zoom H6 recorder and use the limiter in that...then edit the sound in post on the computer. Many thanks for your reviews. You've helped me spend literally eye watering sums of money!
@curtisjudd
@curtisjudd 2 года назад
I don't think it does because it would need a power source to do that. However, the effects are not that great. The limiter in the H6 is as good as the one in the MV7, which is not very good, so you're not losing anything there. The main things are the EQ and compression. Are you post processing your audio or streaming live?

@AnthonyGoodley
@AnthonyGoodley 3 года назад
If you have a good enough XLR interface that can drive a Shure SM7B and you can afford it I don't really see much reason to consider the MV7. For most people any condenser mic like the MV7 is going to pick up way too much background noise and reverb. Unless you're house is quiet as a mouse and acoustically treated your much better off with a Dynamic mic imo, any dynamic mic. SM7B is one of the best ones out there, but may need a Cloudlifter to go with it possibly which adds another $150 to its $400 cost. A USB much would be good to take on the go with a laptop or if you're just starting out otherwise nah.

@@JStream From my exerience: No. In this case you are probably much better off with a P48 powered condenser, something like a KMS105. SM7B is not a cheap overall solution - it only shines when combined with higher end preamps. It will work in terms of gain, but the FetHead is not helping with overall sound quality / noise floor from my experience.

Hey, great videos. I discovered your channel recently and I must say, I love the way you present your videos. Always straight to the point, pros and cons of the products before you even talk about the mics. Also, very nice intros with motion titles. What plugins do they come from? Finally, on this particular video I have one comment based on what you say in your introduction. I fully understand you want to show (well, to have listen to) the raw audio of each mic, without post processing. Now that said, once we make our mind on a mic or another, I sometimes feel we may be left with unanswered questions. If I choose for the budget Mic amongst the ones you present in a video, and I clearly understand that the audio is not as good as the more expensive you may suggest (because its response is too bright, too warm, with too much ambient noise, or internal noise), I still wonder if I can accept the compromise by making corrections in post. A budget Mic can be acceptable with some post corrections and make the investments worth, I would imagine?. Again, when the choice is for a budget mic, especially for budget reasons, I would definitely need to know the result in audio quality coming out from post. For sake of a comparison, listening to the raw audio totally makes sens to me. But once I decide for one model, I need to know its capabilities, without and with post corrections. I wish you could complete your comparisons with samples of post corrected audio, that would be great. Anyway, thank you again for all your videos, I have learned way more by watching just your channel, rather than browsing too many different channels, with sometimes opposite or incomplete views.
@curtisjudd
@curtisjudd 3 года назад
Thanks Claude, the intro was custom created by a graphic artist. I'm not sure which app he used, but likely after effects. Thanks for the feedback. I struggle with keeping the videos short enough so that I don't get a lot of criticism for making them too long. I have another video showing how to EQ to sweeten the sound in post: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Jn6iB1SNvRQ.html as well as several others on the channel covering other post techniques. Note that some microphones are a bad enough fit for some voices, that recordings can end up with saturation or distortion that CANNOT be removed or fixed in post. This is pretty rare, but does happen. I'll try to include some samples in future reviews, balancing that with the need to stay concise.

I just got this microphone and while it's not exactly the SMB7 and I don't expect it to last the same as one, for the price it can't be beaten. I've tested many USB microphones and this one is the best sounding by far. As you mention, the limiter is practically useless and the plosives are a thing to look at, but other than that it's a great piece of gear for the money!

@@curtisjudd By the way Curtis, what´s your opinion about the Carbon Mackie´s mic? It seems to have a nice and clear sound. In this moment I can´t afford buying the Shure MV7 USB, this will be my next step, but I need now one with good quality around the 100 dolars (I don´t like Blue Yeti, neither Big Foot) for podcast, basic music recordings (I´m a singer songwriter) and to read (to record) text audiobooks. Thank you so much in advise, for your advise.

Thanx for this review! A call would have made the phone sending. While during watching a video the phone is more on the reciever side. And another thing - sorry for that: The amount of „background noise“ or room sound that the capsule of a mic pics up depends on the polar pattern and the frequency response, NOT on the type of soundconversion. If a cardioid should reject the sound in a 90 degree angle by 10db, it will do exactly that, no matter if its a dynamic or a condenser mic. 😃👍. I love your reviews! Not only the well researched info but also the calm and relaxed way of presentation 🍀.
@curtisjudd
@curtisjudd 2 года назад
Thanks Klaus. The practical difference in how much room sound a microphone picks up has to do not with the polar pattern so much as the fact that one *usually works closer to a dynamic microphone. This increases the signal to noise ratio. And the reason one generally works closer to a dynamic mic is the lower overall sensitivity.

Nice review. I thought your voice sounds great on it. I would def buy the SM7b foam windscreen. Interesting that the MV7 (USB mode) and SM7b have inverted waveforms from each other. I noticed this in the samples of your and Emma's quotation samples. I inverted the sections of the MV7 that were "below the line" to "above the line" and the samples looked almost identical. Inverting did not seem to change the sound to my ears.

Nice review, Curtis. Seems VERY sensitive to handling noise. Compared to the SM7b, it seems a little more hyped/boxy in the upper mids. SM7B has a smoother mid-scooped sound. Without the comparison though, I don't think I would've thought it was too much. Those app presets are pretty cool.

when you record the samples, is there any treatment at all in the room? and maybe a stylus would work on the touch surface? also, the mic on a different table is a really good idea. you could probably do a whole course on video and audio for conference calls alone. im guessing its a big market, especially right now. just from observing one person who does 1 or 2 conferences a week, about an hour each...there are a lot of problems that come up with regard to audio and video, mostly audio. anyhow, thanks for another great video!

the touch controls are not just you. all reviews so far have had the same issue. what would make this worthwhile for me is that it be used concurrently on xlr and usb. making it possible to livestream and record, or record to 2 sources at the same time. just my .02 and thanks for another great review.

Some people have reported ground loop/buzzing when using both outputs at the same time. Be prepared for that. You may need an isolating tranformer for the XLR output.

Thank you for this fantastic review Curtis! For those that are puzzling over Shure's decision to use micro USB - I think I may know why. Take a look at Shure's "MVI" audio interface and take note of the control panel and USB connectivity - it's nearly identical to what you see with the MV7. From what I can see the application used to enhance the MVI experience is the same as what comes with the MV7 as well.
@curtisjudd
@curtisjudd Год назад
So perhaps they saved some engineering effort by re-using the same panel?
@DeletedRedactedConfidential
​@@curtisjudd This is definitely not my area of expertise so I likely have it all wrong. What I'm meaning to say is I wonder if the MV7 actually has the MVI interface built right in to it. I really like this mic (thanks in no small part to your very helpful review of it) but have gotten hung up on making the purchase due to the price and the Micro USB connection. I started researching XLR mic + USB interface options that have the features I'm interested in and ended up right back with Shure products - the MVI and the MV7X. That combination in my area at least costs more than the MV7. For me it seems that all paths end with the MV7! My original comment was perhaps just my attempt at determining why.

USB micro was designed with expectation of cable breaking. That's why they have springs on the cable connector. Better to have broken cable, that broken socket. I guess usb-c license is more expensive and this mic is about the price. Thanks for the review. It seems to be an excellent choice on a budget.

Hi Curtis, nice video - Interesting about the RF interference. I have a new MV7 coupled with iPad Pro 2017 (10.5” w/lightning port) and works well. I was told by Shure that it’s not compatible with newer USB type C ipad pro’s (too bad). So I guess my upgrade path will be the MV7 with a MacBook Air or pro down the line.It’s a huge improvement from the Samson Go Mic that I started with. Shure ipad app was buggy, so I manage gain using the mic.

Great review! Thank you! Have you ever connected this mic directly to a camera (I am filming with a LUMIX G9)? I’m curious whether it’s possible, what connectors I will need, and whether it will hurt the sound quality in the finished recording if I do that versus connecting it directly into my computer. I’m worried about the post processing and getting my voice and audio paired up correctly, so if I can avoid that step, I’d love to. Thanks!

There isn’t an output on this mic which will work directly with the G9. You’d need a mixer between them.

Thanks for the thorough review, Curtis. I'm trying to minimize clutter in my home office/studio and using an XLR/USB mic may be a good solution - I can put my Rodecaster Pro on a shelf and use the USB mic for conferences. If positioned correctly, do you think the MV7 connected via USB in "Far" mode could be passable as an overhead boom mic? I'd rather not have yet another piece of gear cluttering my space if I don't have to. Thanks in advance.

Hi John, it'll sound far away - just depends on how far away you place it. My sense is that "far" in this context is really meant to be about 12 inches max.
