SHURE MV7 🎤 EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW & MV7 vs. SM7B TEST 🔥

Full review and demo of the Shure MV7 USB/XLR Microphone, and a comparison between the MV7 and SM7B 🔥

The Shure MV7 is like the little brother of the legendary Shure SM7B. It has a similar body structure, and the classic SM7B yoke that makes getting the mic into position very easy.

The MV7 can be used with USB or with XLR. When used with USB, you can access the built-in DSP effects like EQ and compression - making it so you don't need to use other audio plugins when recording or streaming or having a conference call.

The ShurePlus MOTIV app is easy to use and straight-forward. You can use the Auto-Setting to let the mic take care of all the technical stuff, and even help to prevent things like clipping. Or, use the Manual mode to dial in just the sound you want.

And you can adjust the microphone from the on-board Touch strip to quickly adjust volume, gain, mute, etc...

When used with XLR, you won't be able to access the DSP effects, but you can add whatever plugins you want in your DAW or NLE to prefect your sound.

I do wish there were more Audio FX included in the mic, things like a De-esser, and De-Plosive would be a nice addition, but these can generally be avoided by using proper mic technique. Of course if you are live-streaming, you can always add VST audio plugins in OBS if you need to.

There is also the new MV7+ which just came out a couple days ago. It updated the USB connection to USB-C and includes more built-in audio FX, and better Auto-Level operation. So, if you want the MV7, I would spent a few more bucks and get the MV7+

I'll also test the MV7 versus the Shure SM7B. We'll test them completely raw, and with plugins (audio fx) in our DAW. SO we can finally answer the question: "Which microphone is better? The Shure MV7 or the Shure SM7B"
