Look no further. - After getting by with a basic home set up of a blue yeti shared between two people for our podcast, we decided to invest in some decent quality gear and grab two of these on boom arms linked to an m-audio duo. First thing to say is that they are really well packaged and robustly built which inspires confidence. I've only used them so far via XLR inputs into the interface so I cant speak to the USB link and software, but what I will say is its made editing the mix a dream. As someone thats worked in a few pro studios as a performer, producer and an engineer over the years, I know a quality bit of gear the second I start working with it and these are definitely that. They are quite directional, so proper mic technique is preferred and close positioning is a must, but you'll be rewarded with an instantly rich, mid-focused and warm sound that is recognisably NPR like in its audio and so quality to begin with you could easily get away without processing it at all. Despite the natural warmth of the sound theres a nice level of clarity and treble detail that can easily be brought out with the most basic of EQ, but by default is never harsh or tinny. I used to have an effects chain of 10 plus plugins on our audio in a desperate attempt to even it out and get a half decent sound, with these mics I have 2 very gentle plugins just to add a last bit of polish and thats it. They are a little prone to plosives sometimes depending on how forcefully someone speaks, so an extra pop filter is a very good idea, but then I'd say that with any decent close-mic setup and filters are incredibly cheap. The directionality is actually pretty useful as they don't pick up much of the room at all, and again this is without SHUREs processing software so it is an actual characteristic of the mic. I'd say you could mic your speaking voice up in a marble hallway and as long as you spoke close to the mic it'd sound studio like, so that whole reputation of "so good it can fix a bad room" is very much deserved. No more spending hours trying to remove reverb for me! (as an aside, if you're struggling with reverb or "removing the room" on any mic setup I'd recommend ERA 4s reverb remover, its literally the only one I've ever found that works. Just dont set it above 50% or you can hear the wash). All in all I'd say these were a bargain, and if you wanted any better you'd be looking at £800+ per mic for a Rhodes or similar and even then the difference would be minimal. They really are that good. If you have the money and are looking to elevate your audio to pro level without dropping thousands, these are the perfect choice. I've actually had other podcasts contact us to ask about our setup because we now sound so good, and everyone assumes we are recording in a pro studio rather than a front room. An absolute must buy if you want to compete with the big boys, we sound better than 99% of the podcasts in the game and that has improved our listener numbers significantly. Do not hestitate to invest, they are virtually foolproof and take all of the stress out of audio production. 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… ## Features - USB or XLR ports – The dual USB/XLR output allows digital or analogue recording. - CLOSE-MIC APPLICATIONS - Great for podcasting, recording, live streaming and more. - INTUITIVE TOUCH PANEL CONTROLS - Intuitive touch panel for controlling gain, listening volume, headphone mix and microphone mute control. - Built-in headphone output – the built-in headphone output allows you to listen directly to the headphones while recording. - Rich and natural voice reproduction – optimised frequency response for rich and natural voice reproduction. - Shure Plus motif desk application – allows access to audio processing, auto-level mode for automatic adjustment of gain and compression settings, switchable EQ filters to adjust the tone colour and options for storing custom presets. - All-metal construction – the robust and professional all-metal construction provides excellent reliability. - Flexible placement options: adjustable, integrated bracket for easy positioning on standard stands with 5/8"-27 thread or booms. - What is in the box: Shure MOTIV MV7 podcast microphone with 3 m (10 ft) USB-A cable and 3 m (10 ft) USB-C cable. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08G7JN6J7 | | Antenna Location | Podcast | | Audible Noise | 10 Decibels | | Audio Sensitivity | 10 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | 571 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 95 in Blu-Ray Audio 364 in Dynamic Microphones | | Box Contents | PGA181 Cable (4.6m/XLR to Jack) | | Brand Name | Shure | | Colour | Silver | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, Personal Computer, Audio Interface, Smartphone | | Connectivity Technology | USB, XLR | | Connector Type | USB, XLR | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (6,838) | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | External Testing Certification | Não aplicável | | Frequency Range | 40 Hz - 15 kHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00042406630818 | | Hardware Platform | PC, Smartphone (Lightning cable not included) | | Impedance | 314 Ohms | | Item Dimensions | 10.9 x 31.2 x 12.7 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Shure MV7 USB Podcast Microphone for Podcasting, Recording, Livestreaming and Gaming, Built-in Headphone Output, Dynamic USB/XLR Microphone with Full Metal Case, TeamSpeak Certified, Silver | | Item Weight | 600 Grams | | Manufacturer | Shure | | Manufacturer Part Number | MV7-S | | Microphone Form Factor | Handheld | | Model Name | MV7-S | | Model Number | MV7-S | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Unidirectional | | Power Source | USB-C | | Special Feature | Stand | | UPC | 042406630818 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Shure - **Colour:** Silver - **Compatible devices:** Laptop, Personal Computer, Audio Interface, Smartphone - **Connectivity technology:** USB, XLR - **Connector type:** USB, XLR - **Included components:** PGA181 Cable (4.6m/XLR to Jack) - **Model name:** MV7-S - **Polar pattern:** Unidirectional - **Recommended uses for product:** Podcast - **Special feature:** Stand ## Images ![Shure MV7 USB Podcast Microphone for Podcasting, Recording, Live Streaming & Gaming, Built-In Headphone Output, All Metal USB/XLR Dynamic Mic, Voice-Isolating Technology, TeamSpeak Certified - Silver - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7187FWHMGCL.jpg) ![Shure MV7 USB Podcast Microphone for Podcasting, Recording, Live Streaming & Gaming, Built-In Headphone Output, All Metal USB/XLR Dynamic Mic, Voice-Isolating Technology, TeamSpeak Certified - Silver - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61S0JZeC0fL.jpg) ![Shure MV7 USB Podcast Microphone for Podcasting, Recording, Live Streaming & Gaming, Built-In Headphone Output, All Metal USB/XLR Dynamic Mic, Voice-Isolating Technology, TeamSpeak Certified - Silver - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VWR5lrzkL.jpg) ![Shure MV7 USB Podcast Microphone for Podcasting, Recording, Live Streaming & Gaming, Built-In Headphone Output, All Metal USB/XLR Dynamic Mic, Voice-Isolating Technology, TeamSpeak Certified - Silver - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MeKeJb+vL.jpg) ![Shure MV7 USB Podcast Microphone for Podcasting, Recording, Live Streaming & Gaming, Built-In Headphone Output, All Metal USB/XLR Dynamic Mic, Voice-Isolating Technology, TeamSpeak Certified - Silver - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TGaURw9yL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you ‘plug and play’ with the MV7?** A: Yes!

The only issue is the Mini USB standard is god awful and wished it was USB-C - I've had a couple cables break on me and it gets worn out easily. The software for the mic is very good too when in USB mode, and I ran it that way most of the time until I got myself and interface. However if you're just running XLR save yourself £100(yes you heard that right) and go for the MV7X model, it's EXACTLY the same mic, just without the usb features and compatibility, I have both and the sound quality is exactly the same, couldn't tell two recordings apart. Last thing to note, the pop filter isn't great, so buy yourself a Shure RK 345 Wind Screen which is the pop filter that they use on the Sm7b, trust me it makes all the difference and is worth the extra £20 or so. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shure MV7 USB Podcast Microphone - Silver - OnStage DS7200B Adjustable Desktop Microphone Stand, Black - Amazon Basics XLR Male to Female Microphone Cable for Speaker or PA System, All Copper Conductors, 6MM PVC Jacket, 6 Foot, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/239042114-shure-mv7-usb-podcast-microphone-for-podcasting-recording-live-streaming](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/239042114-shure-mv7-usb-podcast-microphone-for-podcasting-recording-live-streaming) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
