ShureMV7 USB Microphone for Podcasting, Recording, Live Streaming & Gaming, Built-in Headphone Output & Logitech G PRO X Wireless LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset, Blue VO!CE Mic Filter Tech

Shure make the best microphones. Not the cheapest but always the best for quality. This particular microphone has an XLR socket but also most importantly a USB socket so it can be plugged directly into your laptop without an additional box being required. Software is good and sound quality is best at the price point.

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…

Personally love this microphone especially considering the price difference between this and the SM7B, this microphone is noticeably smaller and I think provides an adequate enough quality by comparison and is excellent for its price.Out of the box you can run this microphone through USB which is fine, but where it really shines is if you can couple it with a mixer you like to really get the most of a microphone like this. Once you dial in the sound you're aiming for which may take a while to really get right as it depends on a lot of variables like the size of the room and such you will have a very good microphone for whatever your use case happens to be. To go further on the USB portion, I do like you can adjust volume and have a mute/unmute touch on the microphone itself but I do still think using USB gives you a 'commercial use config' and leaves a lot to be desired.Using XLR however, opens up the microphone a lot more allowing you to obtain a more professional quality sound from the microphone. Depends on the mixer you end up plugging into but a lot of the main ones will give you a lot of the same control you're getting in USB mode (the touch to mute) either on the mixer itself or through some software UI.

Great price for a great mic. I had to play around with the settings to get it perfect but that's to be expected, everyone's voice & room is different. A screw on the side did snap when tightening into the stand & it is now stuck in the mic which is not ideal. I wasn't even tightening it that hard. Other than that, love the sound quality and it looks professional.

O acabamento é top. Design bem legal. Mas acho que serei obrigado a comprar um pré-amplificador.

Only problem I've noticed with this mic is settings-wise it can be a bit annoying getting the gain right, but just adjusting the settings in whatever software you're using if it ends up being too quiet isn't that big of an issue. I have a good boom arm for this (Rode PSA1+) which allows me to maneuver this mic anywhere I'd want practically and that might also be helpful in getting it positioned perfectly for your voice. IMPORTANTLY I know people have had problems with the micro USB port on the device, however, after about a month and a half I have not had this issue. My advice is that you will likely be fine assuming 1. You do not constantly plug/unplug the cable from that port. 2. You are careful when touching that part of the cable to not be too rough. 3. You leave some slack in the cable (specifically RIGHT behind the mic before it snakes up your boom arm) because if the cable is too tense then it could cause the plug to push more into one side of the interior of the port than it ought to.In summary, take precautions, be careful when moving it (NEVER grab it by the cable when moving it, grab onto the microphone or better yet the boom arm) and also be careful plugging/unplugging it, a good boom arm is advisable for a good mic, also the gain can be an issue but there are many ways to adjust that either in software or moving the mic closer perhaps or whatever is needed.The quality of the sound is excellent. My old microphone was a HyperX Solocast and for me I felt like it had a problem with sibilance sounds (i.e. 'S' sounds coming through poorly), but the Shure MV7 has no problem with sibilance or plosives from my experience (might vary for other setups I am sure, but for me it is solid).Probably the best option unless maybe you can afford a mega expensive Shure SM7B setup and all the stuff it requires, but if you want a mic that can plug into a USB of your computer and the Shure MV7 is affordable enough then just be careful and go for it. (Side note: I heard you can improve the MV7 quality even more by separately buying a SM7B-style microphone cover and putting it on instead. Haven't tried it myself, but seems like it would work as far as I can tell.)OH! Also it should be noted that when you receive this microphone it will have an awful chemical-like smell at first, but do not worry. Just let it air out in a room or something. The smell should go away in a day or a few days. It's only temporary. Not sure what causes the smell, probably something with how it is packaged.I've gone over a few problems in this review, but none of them stop me from giving this microphone a 5/5 because all of its problems have solutions I find. Also the mic quality is amazing once you mess with its settings.I've included a picture to show roughly how you should have the mic's cable be not too tight. (As you can see, if it was too tight here, the cable would be pulled up and thus the end of the cable inside of the mic would try to do the same meaning the end of it would be pressing down against the lower part of the port inside the mic. Having it loose means the cable is straight as it enters the mic, and thus because it is not entering the port at an angle is not really pushing against any areas against the inside of the port. Now, I probably do not need quite this much loose cable, but just make sure the thick end of the cable going into the mic is straight and probably also at least a tiny bit of the cable that is behind the wider and thicker end. This will also probably make it easier the unplug and make unplugging it less risky.)

Único ponto negativo do microfone é sua entrada USB. Os cabos acabam ficando um pouco para fora o que com o tempo pode causar mal contato. O cabo que vem com o microfone é super frágil, tendo quebrado em menos de 1 mês de uso.

Poseo varios microfonos de estudio que aunque me daban el servicio no obstante decidi probar este. El microfono es de bastante calidad, mejoro mis grabaciones de voz, que se escucha mas solida, menos ruido (o casi nada practicamente) de fondo. Tiene 2 conectores, uno para que lo conectes de manera tradicional a una consola y otro de usb para la computadora, asi como un monitor de audio integrado (una salida para audifonos donde puedes monitorear tu voz), es pesado aunque no mucho. Si lo conectas por usb se puede bajar un software donde este posee varias opciones para que el microfono actue de distintas maneras. Muy recomendado si lo que buscas es calidad de grabación en tu audio.

Väldigt underbar mic om man vill spara in från att köpa en SM7BUnderbart ljud och väldigt enkelt program att ställa in micen via usb
