Review: Great Podcast/voice over mic from Shure. - This is a well-rounded, great sounding dynamic microphone, with an overall warm sound, ideal for voice overs, Radio broadcasting & Podcasting. Build quality is excellent (all metal) and on par with other Shure Microphones, such as the SM57, 58 & the SM7B. The mic is not too heavy and most boom arms, even the cheaper ones will hold it, with only some minor adjustment - I use a Rode PSA 1 & PSA+, which are both excellent. The mic capsule underneath the windscreen is protected by a metal, rounded type grid (see pics), which also helps with noise reduction, but plosives are an issue with the provided windscreen – more on that later… The dual connectivity of XLR & USB (again, see pics), made this a pretty obvious choice if you want to use with an audio interface and/or just a computer. It’s also useful that one can act as a back-up should the other fail. You have access to the Shure companion App for this mic which lets you adjust the sound of the mic along with headphone monitoring. There are also some touch controls (mute/volume etc. on a slider/pressure strip with corresponding LEDs) on the mic itself, which again can be controlled via the App. Note though, that the App and touch controls only work when the mic is connected via USB, not XLR. If using USB only, gain is not an issue, but if going XLR, you will have to push our audio interface (Focusrite/Behringer/Steinberg) input gain up quite a bit for a good level. You may wish to invest in a gain booster/cloud lifter, but if using something like the Rodecaster Pro 2, you won’t need one. There are only minor negatives for this mic: 1. The USB connection is a micro one and not USB-C, which was a little disappointing, but not a deal breaker. 2. The windscreen is pretty bad, and you’d be better off replacing with the RK345 one from its bigger brother, the SM7B, as this really cuts down on plosives (I had great results using this). 3. The yoke that attaches to the mic stand/boom arm, does not screw down independently as with the SM7B and you have to rotate the whole mic instead. 4. The price – a little steep, considering what other options there are on the market today, but my personal opinion is that it is worth it. I will say after over a years’ worth of constant use, I have had no issues with the mic or the connections and have absolutely no regrets in purchasing this microphone and would do so again. There is an XLR only version out now, but I still like the option of the 2 types of connection and when moving forward, you should be adding to an exiting product, not taking away from…
Review: Cannot go wrong with this mic for streaming! - I am a very small streamer, but I decided to switch to this mic from an Elgato Wave:1 - not because the Wave is a bad mic by any stretch of the imagination - but just because I’m aware that dynamic microphones are massively better at rejecting background noise and helping when you have some slight echo/reverb in your room. Although this mic is slightly more expensive than the Wave:1 (around £107.05 at time of writing this review), I definitely think that if you can afford the price difference then it is absolutely worth it. Originally I was happy using mics with USB connection, especially since the software suite with the Elgato Wave was pretty useful, but I had the intentions of purchasing a GoXLR along with an XLR dynamic mic, and until then I wanted some form of USB dynamic mic as a stop gap, as the GoXLR stock was pretty dry in the UK for a little while. I done my research and came across this mic, and I listened to multiple sound tests and comparisons between the MV7 and the legendary SM7B and thought for a USB mic, it sounded incredible! I started off by using the mic connected directly through USB, and using the Shure Motiv app and had a fairly pleasant experience with it. I’m an AMD user with an x570 motherboard, so I’m not sure if this is related to the ongoing USB issues - but I found a lot of the time, my mic gain would automatically change itself to max (36dB) whenever I would restart my PC, compared to the 24dB that I had it set at. As long as I applied the mic settings lock, it would stop this happening, but then it would also stop me being able to toggle the mic mute - which was unfortunate. Apart from this issue (which again could just be an AMD issue) - the software works pretty well! I followed the recommended settings from Podcastage’s video review on the mic, and overall had a very nice sound through USB. I wish the Shure Motiv app allowed for a more in-depth EQ control, rather than the three presets - along with more in depth control for the compressor. Although I can’t fault the app for this, as it is pretty clear that they wanted to make it as simple as possible to set up the mic and get a good sound, which is exactly how it goes with the app since all of the settings seem to work, except the EQ just works better being set to ‘flat’ since you can’t EQ specifically around your voice tone/pitch. I never tried the “auto level” mode personally, but from the number of video reviews I have watched, it also seems to work pretty well, and looks to be a good way for a complete beginner to just plug their mic in and be up and running immediately, with the software controlling all characteristics of the sound on the fly for the user. After using this microphone through USB for a couple of weeks, I have purchased a GoXLR and I am now using it through XLR, and personally (for my voice at least) - it just sounds much more clean and crisp overall, especially at the higher frequencies. Shure, this mic is no SM7B (see what I did there?) as personally I feel like the SM7B does have a nicer, more refined sound overall - but for anyone who is in the same boat as I was (in terms of looking for a USB -> XLR upgrade path), I can wholeheartedly recommend this mic, as it sounds great through both USB AND XLR. You can also record through both the USB and XLR output at the same time - if you needed to do this. To summarise, this mic wasn’t created to replace the SM7B - the SM7B is still the king of dynamic mics, but for a great all in one solution, you cannot go wrong with the MV7.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent! A more affordable alternative to the SM7B! Become a streamer or YouTuber today!
*by C***N on 13 March 2024*

The MV7 is an XLR AND USB dynamic microphone, meaning you can connect it directly to your PC using the supplied USB cable. If you want to move onto using XLR later on you can, as this microphone has an XLR connector on the back. The mic has a 3.5mm jack to plug in headphones if you want to monitor your voice while speaking. I found this microphone to be very quiet by default, which I believe is true of dynamic microphones including the SM7B, so in OBS I use compression and gain boosts in addition to noise gates to get it sounding really nice. Once I stop talking there is zero noise on the wave form. I like this mic because it is good at rejecting background noise and only responds to my voice. You will find talking close to the microphone gives best results. Make sure to download the 'Shureplus MOTIV' app which allows you to configure the microphone. The MV7 has touch controls to change the mic's volume as well as muting the microphone and changing the monitor volume. This is my main microphone for now, and I'm really happy with it, I use it mainly in OBS to record Minecraft and World of Warcraft videos, but I also use it in Discord to chat. So, a more affordable alternative to the SM7B, and ideal if you just want a plug-and-play USB dynamic podcast/streaming/YouTube mic. Be aware there is also the 'MV7X', which is cheaper and has ONLY XLR connection, so make sure you're buying the correct model!
