    I have used the MV7 for about a month and recorded a couple hours of online training with it. Great mic, well worth the money. The only problem (you could hear during the tests) is the plosions, or popping “P” sound. I’ve never heard that with the SM7B but they will happen with the MV7. There is a simple fix, purchase the RK345 replacement windscreen for the SM7 and put it on the MV7. That solved the plosion issue and I think brings the sound quality closer to the SM7.

I think the SM7B is there only if you want to kick these things up a notch.

I had sleepless nights, the money I spent on filming equipment seemed like a waste, and I overall had no motivation to grow this channel... but I kept focused. Not only did I listen to the feedback, I learnt from my mistakes, focused on a niche and, most importantly, stayed consistent. Now... my channel is thriving more than I ever expected.

    @AaronsMediaCompany 3 года назад +26

    as an audio engineer, I can tell a HUUGE difference. richer saturation, tailored high end (selector switches on the back of the SM7B), and more of a natural boom within the lows... HOWEVER, for the price range, the MV7 would be a great option! no cloud lifter to buy is also a plus on your price point AND you can create a close replication sonically within post-production. If you don't know what to listen to, a lot of people will not know the difference. at the end of the day, it's about producing great content... no one is going to tell that you're using an MV7 vs an SM7B if your content is awesome... I may buy this mic for guests when the time comes for podcasting. great video and thanks for sharing that with us.
    I would like to also add that Rode has came out with a great affordable alternative to the SM7B as well called the Rode PodMic... you can grab one for 100.00 and it's built like a tank.

    A definitely has more high end on it while B has a more balanced out EQ with more present low end. There isn’t much difference if you’re not listening and took me a second to even hear any difference when comparing like we are doing. I’d say if you’re looking to start out doing stuff like podcast, streaming, music and whatnot, you’re not gonna regret getting A especially if you don’t have monitoring headphones and an interface. If you do have those, I’d bite the bullet and go with the more expensive option cause in the long run you’re gonna save money.
    Btw I listened on my phone speakers (like most people will be with whatever you’re recording) so if the difference is more drastic than I made it seem please feel free to chime in with your review.

    Mic A is the MV7 and Mic B is the SM7B. The SM7B has more floor SNR so with proper Pre-Amp levels it's a more fuller and rich sound without compression. Same as the difference between the EV RE-320 vs. the EV RE-20.

    Excellent video for the comparison of these two mics. The SM7B definitely has the richer, deeper sound, great for broadcasting. The MV7 has the convenience of what the SM was missing. Now I know that the best mic would be the combination of the two. The sound of the SM7B with the alternate usb/xlr/headphones of the Mv7. Why can't they make one that has it all. I'd pay for it. What would push it over the edge is to include a cloudlifter or have one built right in.

    Thank you for posting. I picked the SM7B right away and sounding better.. however price to be functional is 3x or 4x the price of the USB Shure. I will be moving up from Shure SM-58 for voice over/speech and perhaps some singing. So MV7 sounds really good and for the next year I’m sure it’s more than good enough for my purposes.. I may jump that road vs more expensive SM7B + cloud lifter etc etc.. when buying gear.. especially Audio and lenses (not video cameras) it’s best to get better than cheaper.. but not necessarily go for a Neumann as your first mic ($2,000+) when a $300 mic will sound fantastic and 99% of people listening won’t hear much of a difference... I suspect this MV7 is in the good enough for a lot of years group... Thank you for posting.

    Listening in a studio, on professional audio monitors, the difference is simply HUGE. It's not just the low end as many say. There are clear differences in the mids and even more in the high mids. It also lacks high end as it lacks low end. The frequency response of the SM7B is simply much more balanced and extended. The MV7 sounds like a harsh response with both low and high pass filters built in.

    Let say for people that will not have a professional post production or maybe profesional sound check before start the podcast or streaming, I would recomend the MV7. Why? when you did the direct comparison the MV7 has an issue related with P "sound" but the SM7B has the hiss issue... and for me the hiss issue is a pain in the ass when I'm hearing a podcast or streaming.For me the "p" issue is not "that" big deal. I know that both issues could be improved in post production, and the idea of the SM7B is get a huge "raw" sound (like a raw file photo) that get the the people in the studio, all the raw material to edit (the actual recording process, right?). But that's is the reason why I would say for non profesional people the MV7, maybe is a better option. Also, there are all the hardware matters that you say in your video. Really good job dude!! I enjoyed your video,

      I'd agree for podcasting or something like that where you're using your regular voice. But for vocals, especially when there's a lot of distortion involved like in metal or rock, I think you have a strong argument for the SM7B. The MV7 does really well with cleans as well but I think that the SM7B does do considerably well the more distortion you have in your voice, until you have screams, especially false chord screams that can get much lower than the SV7 tea designed for. But for simple voice, the SV7 is the obvious choice between the two.

    this aint a fair comparison, idk how good this zoom recorder thing is, but you should have just used a audio interface would have been much more fair. that cloud lifter is definitely adding to the sm7b and you arent using the auto leveling of the mv7 which i feel would fix the lower output and compressed sound. edit: I was right in judgement using an amp to boost the sm7b is inherently going to make it sound better, you are amplifying the transients and overall louder just sounds better to the human ear; you should do this again without the amp or plug both into the amp and use the auto leveling feature of the mv7. This test right now is bias and misleading people who dont know audio like that.

    The mics could easily be identified by their windscreen shapes and color. Next time take the mics completely out of frame. And the SM7B captures more of the low tones and bass in the voice, as usual, whether you like that or not depends on personal preference or your voice

    Most people buying the SM7b choose it because it’s ’THE podcast mic’. It’s a status symbol of professionalism/legitimacy. However, that new cheaper model ‘looks’ pretty similar. Zoom also recently released a similar looking mic the ZDM-1 for $79.99. Doubt many users will notice the sonic differences.

      It’d say it’s worth the price. Because the only thing it doesn’t have is as much low end. That can easily be tweaked in EQ to be better, although never SM7B standards, but still, better. Like I said the only thing the MV7 doesn’t have is as much low end from what I’ve seen. Having this good audio quality being USB, definitely sets the price point just fine in my opinion. It’s a great option for people that don’t want to spend $500-700 on a microphone to allow the SM7B to reach it’s peak audio quality (because of XLR interfaces). You may be forgetting about that extra required cost, so I must say in that regard and putting that into consideration you may be wrong.
