Happy to find a female voice using the microphone :) It is very hard to decide if something sounds good on my voice if there are only male voices reviewing it. Thank you! Edit: I have just discovered your website too. Amazing, this will help me a lot!
Your video convinced me to buy the MV-7 and it has really improved the quality of my channel audio. The flexibility of the connections, the software and the tonal quality are well worth the $250. I credit your time and effort here to convincing me this was the right move. I've always enjoyed Shure products and was sad when they left the phono cartridge market years ago. Thanks again :)
Absolutely the best review of this microphone!!!! Thank you so much for explaining the concepts so clearly and demonstrating each feature thoroughly. Mine is arriving tomorrow and I went for SM7B pop filter to go with SMV7.
Fantastic and detailed review, thanks! Really wish the mic would come with the lightning cable in the box. Wasn’t aware the lighthing cable was even an option until today.
Thank you so much for the review, your information is so valuable. I am so happy to come across your channel, I was looking for a USB microphone and will be picking this one up for work, great review 👍
Nice review! I purchased the MV7 to use for conference calls on Teams. I replaced the windscreen with one made for the SM7B and plosives are fewer and more distant.
There are dozens of videos on this mic but this is literally the only video that I would consider to be The Best. It's all the sound you're hoping to hear, all the technical information you need, the pros, the cons, and no flashy "RUclipsr" vibe that makes me thumbs-down a video right away. This is excellence. I really hope other video reviewers follow your lead and record theirs in a fashion similar to this. It's Really quite pleasant.
Thank you for such a clear, articulate, detailed video. It's refreshing and inspiring to hear a female's voice and presentation, I appreciate you, thank you for your great work!
I love your videos you are always so good at teaching everything in an easy manner. Thank you. I just got this MV7 usb mic to do zoom interviews and save the video files as both a video for youtube and also save the audio files of both myself and the guest for a spotify podcast. Can you please do a tutorial on how to set up and use Zoom to interview 1 other perosn with this microphone that would be awesome. Have a wonderful day :)
Thank you! You stopped me in my tracks when you pointed out that the Shure MOTIV app didn’t recognize the mic when plugged into an iPad using the Apple Camera Connector Kit. I was going to buy the Shure MVL first, and later graduate to the MV7, but now I’ll be on the phone with Shure Support BEFORE buying any of the Shure USB mics for use with my iPad. I’m so glad you pointed that out checked that out and shared that bit of info!!
Hi, well the mic worked absolutely fine with the micro USB to lightning cable ... I just wanted to point out you would need to buy this cable as an extra with this microphone as ot didn't come with one. Glad this has helped you!
@@MusicRepo But the MOTIV app didn’t recognize the mic thru the adaptor, correct? I’m going to call Shure today and see if they have that working now.Thanks, again! I appreciate your thoroughness. 😎
@@johne1599 yes, correct, the Motiv App does not recognise Shure MV7 if you connect using the USB lead through the Apple Camera Connector dongle. Only if you have the micro USB to lightning lead. Then it works fine
Great video and review . I recommend the buying an replacement windscreen from the sm7b and installing it on the MV7 and youll get the same results with less Plosives as the sm7b! Model RK345
This is the best review of this mic I’ve watched. I ended up buying it. I’m having difficulty getting a lightening to micro-USB cable in Australia but want to record video on my iPhone. Will this work without using the app on the IPhone. I do not need to change the settings in the app.
Hey i'm thinking of getting a budget home studio, and would need a mic for singing and guitar recording, around 50-100$. For audio interface i'm thinking the Focusrite solo (even though it might be a little overkill for what i'm doing) or possibly even native instruments komplete 2(same applies) but the quality of it should be a A+. I have been taking a peek at behringer b-1, Audio-techinca's AT2020 and other similarly priced mics, but what would u recommend. Kind a darkish voice between baritone and tenor. Thanks!!!
Do XLR connection with audio interface increase the volume of sure mv7. please reply, I am going to buy evo 4 Audio interface only just so I can increase the volume of the mic will it works? Will I get more volume with xlr as compare to USB or they will be same? Please reply I love ur viedos
gracias por enseñar el cable para poderlo conectar a un ipad he buscado tutoriales en español y no había encontrado nada de verdad que muchísimas gracias !
Music Repo, I,m looking for info, I have a Focusrite 18i8 audio interface and I looking for info on the line inputs and the rear of my interface on how to connect a Roland VT3, how to connect my mic audio technical AT2020 condenser at the rear also what leads do I need, every one shows you how to plug in the front but no info from line inputs.

Thanks for this informative video, I have a question and I did not find an answer for it, I hope to find the answer here My question is On the company's website, they put compatible Android devices, Not all devices are compatible, they write. I do a research and I found that's all tested devices in the shure site have a USB Type C 3.1 not 2.0 except the galaxy s7(type B) + What kind of Android phone did you use? Sorry 😞 (my English)
so the Shure MV7 outputs ONE or TWO XLR? If it is one, does that mean it is (1) XLR Stereo, unbalanced, or (2) XLR Mono, balanced? I looked into the user manual and specifications and it doesn't say... so if it is (2) above, then that means it is not a stereo mic but a mono mic?
It sounds great. No crazy plosive issues. But I've seen that with other reviews. I've seen that people put the SMV7B pop filter. But you had it at reasonable distance. I see you did not have to. Shame they did not go for USB-C.
Great review! Very upsetting that they didn’t add compatibility for the USB C iPads. Hopefully it’s something that can be added through a software update later on. Especially since it works with your android usb c device. I decided to keep it as a backup mic to be used between myself an my fiancé when we both have calls at the same time and one of us needs to go into a separate room for privacy and quiet. I think the mic performs better connected via usb. When I connected to my rodecaster pro via xlr I honestly wasn’t too impressed. I use a Lewitt 240pro as my main mic.
Firstly, thanks so much for these reviews! I've just discovered your channel and it's fantastic. Really appreciate the detailed, clear, no-nonsense approach. Quick question for this mic - I sing and play guitar, relying entirely on my Zoom H4n's built-in mics for both (recorded sperately). My main complaint with this is my acoustic guitar can sound very boxy/mudddy. Would investing in a mic like this offer me better results? I'm guessing it would be good for vocals, but what about an acoustic? Sorry for the long question.
Hi, thank you for your comments. It would be worth you listening to the Shure Podcast, where Jack Drury talks about using the MV7 for acoustic guitar - if you follow this link it will take you right to that point soundcloud.com/shureinc/talking-sm7b-history-and-the-mv7-future#t=20:41. Also @Podcastage did a good review of this mic, and he demos it with acoustic guitar right here: ruclips.net/video/XlT0yBOqhVY/видео.html personally cannot comment about acoustic guitar, as I haven't tried it myself yet. And also my acoustic guitar playing is super bad, and with lockdown not really able to ask anyone around to help me test it. But hope those two links help :)
@@REX4340 this Shure MV7 is great for recording voice bif you get up close to it - the Zoom tends to pick up more background noise but I can position it further away, so I often use it to record my voice while making videos. And it records in stereo. The other beauty of the Zoom is you just record onto the recorder, don't need to have the computer on to record. With a USB mic you are constrained by having to record direct onto computer or mobile device. Although this MV7 is dual format, so it can be used with a portable digital recorder via XLR.
@Music Repo When using the Zoom H4N with the Shure Mv7 plugged in via XLR, do you then have trouble with too little gain? 🙂I have just bought a Shure mv7, and I am considering buying a Zoom H4pro or H5 (they have the same preamp). Help would be greatly appreciated!
Hello, I am new too your channel, also I am new to home recording. I am a trumpet player I am considering upgrading my current mic to this the Shure MV7! Thank you so much for a detail review it help so much making the choice whether on not to get it. One question though, if I am going to use it via USB to my windows Laptop will I still need Phantom Power? Thank you again!
Luckily I got my mv7 for 170 New. It's amazing and I use it with a scarlett solo 3rd. Not going to lie the usb audio sounds 100x better them it does with a audio interface. Tried 4 different interfaces and the USB seems to be the winner so just incase anyone is wondering if they need a audio interface with this NO. I also proved it with test etc so no worries.
I can't remember .... but I don't think it would have made any difference. The mic was powered, and worked as an external mic, it just didn't show up in the Shure App so you couldn't access the settings.
I really liked this product when looking for a USB mic but a micro USB port on the mic itself really was a no for me. I've got bad experience with micro-USB plugs breaking, they're just to fragile. USB-c is quite a bit sturdier and that's where the world is going to in any case. Or even a USB-b port which is quite sturdy with an cable to USB-a or USB-c would have been better.
A friend has the MV7 and the same Zoom recorder (he is going to use them as a portable podcast kit), but we can't get decent levels from it. On the Zoom's meter, mic level maxed at 100, I barely get up to -12 dB unless I practically shout. The WAV file I import into Audacity I get levels around .2. If I Amplify it, I think it sounds a bit distorted. Is there an obvious setting I'm missing?
Which zoom recorder? 🙂 And did you and your friend fix the problem? I just bought a Shure MV7, and I am considering bying a zoom h5, or a zoom podtrack 4.
@@rohmann000 He’s using the exact same one she has in the video. TBH I haven’t thought about this for months. Friend hasn’t complained about it recently so maybe he figured it out. Sorry I can’t be of more assistance.
@@jeffbaumgarten8984 Thx for the answer mate. 🙂 I can see that it is a Zoom H4N used in the video. If you could ask your friend if he still uses the Zoom H4n recorder with the Shure MV7, it would be great help! Cheers!
I recently purchased the Blue Yeti Pro XLR/USB combo mic for many of the same reasons you share in this video. However, the Yeti Pro is a large diaphragm condenser and the MV7 is dynamic. I teach middle school band (from home) so I go back and forth between speaking near my mic and then picking up an acoustic instrument (flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone) and I have a difficult time balancing the gain I need for speaking compared to when I play a wind instrument. Currently I use the Yeti Pro as an XLR going into a Yamaha MG10XU mixer/USB interface and using Google Meet for class. Any suggestions?
As you already have a mixer/interface, how about an additional mic that clips on to the instrument? Maybe like this Audio Technica Pro 35? amzn.to/3jUPkQ0 (nb link is an amazon affiliate link. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases)
I think it actually works better on a female voice, also better in a quiet location. But I really enjoy it so far I just have to be careful not to get it too close and make sure to keep the filters on or it sounds demonic.
The MICRO-USB implementation is a bit baffling in 2020, but serviceable. What I find tremendously disappointing is Shure's complete lack of attention to the glaring problem of plosive control. Plosive control could have been completely mitigated by creating a pop foam filter that was only 1 inch longer. Because the foam actually makes contact with the capsule-grill, it becomes completely useless for plosive control. However, I noticed that if I simply pull the foam off the grill about 1 inch, plosives are almost eliminated. So... If you buy this mic... BUY either a larger foam, pop filter ring, or pick up an sm7b foam filter to put on it.
Me neither, but I think it is important that anyone considering buying one checks the compatibility chart carefully! www.shure.com/en-US/motiv-compatibility
It's different .... if you want to do purely voiceovers, and vocals, then this one is easier to use, due to it being a dynamic mic, no worries about room treatment etc, and you can adjust the settings to your voice. However, the MV51 could be put to a wider range of uses, especially with the choice of settings on the mic. You can audition the full resolution of both of them here to compare: soundcloud.com/musicrepo
How do you set GAIN for singing? Cuz obviously they say to make it go MAX ( when singing loudest note 10db and when normal singing 18db.... is that exactly right or no? how is that possible because you can’t exactly sing always making it stay in between them sooo...... Should I sing loudest note and set it by that OR sing my normal loudness and set it by that I have the mv7 and it’s so quiet. Although I heard this is normal for professional mics because it’s my first real microphone and it needs editing after
My opinion it's overpriced for the value @ $250 dollars. Should be marked to the $150 range. It's no SM7B so comparing should be a mute point. It's still in the comparison to other USB combo xlr dynamics like the Q2u or ATusb
Thanks for your comment. I think this mic is in a different league to the Q2U. However, I have never tried the Audio Technica combo mic. I personally did love this mic though ...

I tested it on lightning iPad, worked fine

@@MusicRepo That’s awesome thank you so much for the reply
it's not the mic type, it how you produce a recording within the mix. any mic can sound good if you know how to produce music
My god, you’re beautiful ❤️
Haha ... well the microphone is anyway 😂
@@MusicRepo yes it is! You compliment each other very well then 😂❤️❤️
Is this better than mv51?
It's different .... if you want to do purely voiceovers, and vocals, then this one is easier to use, due to it being a dynamic mic, no worries about room treatment etc, and you can adjust the settings to your voice. However, the MV51 could be put to a wider range of uses, especially with the choice of settings on the mic. You can audition the full resolution of both of them here to compare:

How do you set GAIN for singing? Cuz obviously they say to make it go MAX ( when singing loudest note 10db and when normal singing 18db.... is that exactly right or no?
how is that possible because you can’t exactly sing always making it stay in between them sooo......
Should I sing loudest note and set it by that
OR
sing my normal loudness and set it by that
I have the mv7 and it’s so quiet. Although I heard this is normal for professional mics because it’s my first real microphone and it needs editing after
You’re welcome for taking your likes off of 666. 🤣🤣
Great video! Where do you have your music posted?
How do I unlock it?
Unlock what?
My opinion it's overpriced for the value @ $250 dollars. Should be marked to the $150 range. It's no SM7B so comparing should be a mute point. It's still in the comparison to other USB combo xlr dynamics like the Q2u or ATusb
Thanks for your comment. I think this mic is in a different league to the Q2U. However, I have never tried the Audio Technica combo mic. I personally did love this mic though ...
Best dynamic microphone ever
from Shure is SM5B, no MV7 or SM7B.
Por que razones
