Shure MV7+-K Podcast XLR/USB Microphone Bundle with Gator Desktop Stand | Black

The Shure MV7+-K Podcast XLR/USB Microphone Bundle, accompanied by a Gator Desktop Stand in a sleek black finish, simplifies the process of achieving professional podcast audio quality. Similar to its predecessor, the MV7, the MV7+ is a premium broadcast-style dynamic microphone that provides a clear and articulate sound. It is equipped with both a traditional XLR connection and a USB port, enabling compatibility with audio interfaces, mixers, hard disk recorders, as well as direct connections to computers and mobile devices. The enhanced “+” version introduces several significant features designed to elevate your podcasting experience, such as a customizable full-color LED touch panel with metering, advanced DSP functions for superior sound quality with reduced noise, three reverb settings, a USB-C connector, and seamless integration with Shure’s MOTIV Mix software, offering comprehensive control over various sound-sculpting parameters.

This microphone configuration is paired with an adjustable desktop stand from Gator, facilitating optimal positioning of the microphone. The stand is designed with an anti-skid base to ensure stability during use.

Legendary Broadcast Sound

The microphone draws its design and acoustic characteristics from the renowned Shure SM7B, a staple in numerous podcasts and radio shows. When utilized in close range to the speaker’s voice, it produces a sound that is clear, articulate, and of superior quality. Its frequency response is tailored to ensure a rich and authentic vocal reproduction. Additionally, the MV7+ is highly compatible with vocalists and musicians, capable of managing sound pressure levels up to 128 dB and offering an extensive frequency range from 50 Hz to 16 kHz.

Works with Your Analog or Digital Setup

Due to its various output options, this microphone is compatible with almost any podcasting configuration. It can be utilized with your audio interface, field recorder, mixer, or computer via USB-C, in addition to certain Android and iOS devices. Furthermore, the device holds MFi certification.

Rugged Appointments for Sound and Use

The foam windscreen provided has been enhanced to create an air gap, which significantly improves protection against plosives and p-pops, thereby streamlining your editing workflow. The microphone features a robust design with an all-metal construction, ensuring reliability in critical situations, and comes equipped with a ready-to-mount yoke. Additionally, this setup includes an adjustable desktop stand that features a no-skid base for stability.

Unidirectional Polar Pattern for the Untreated Room

The microphone is designed with a unidirectional cardioid polar pattern, providing an effective natural barrier against ambient noise. This configuration primarily captures sound from the front, significantly reducing the likelihood of picking up background noise compared to an omnidirectional microphone. Depending on the specific acoustics of your environment, some room treatment may still be necessary, or you might consider utilizing the microphone’s noise-reduction software to mitigate issues like the hum from your computer or the sound of your air conditioning. However, the probability of encountering such issues is considerably diminished when using a cardioid polar pattern.

Integrated Controls & High-Quality USB Audio

The microphone features broadcast-quality specifications and user-friendly functionality on the USB side. It allows for audio capture at sample rates and resolutions reaching up to 48 kHz / 24-bit, which is the industry standard for editing and mixing broadcast audio. The integrated touch-panel interface on the microphone enables users to manage levels, headphone volumes, monitor mix, and microphone muting.

Built-In 3.5mm Headphone Monitoring with Mix Control

The microphone is equipped with a headphone jack for real-time monitoring. By connecting a pair of headphones to the MV7+’s 3.5mm jack, users can enjoy their high-quality audio in its full detail. Additionally, the MOTIV Mix desktop application allows for individual adjustment of mic output and system audio playback levels through dedicated sliders.
