Shure MV7 Reviews
A Top Tier Triumph
The Shure MV7 replaced my Rode NT1A and Scarlet 2i2 3rd Gen and I couldn't be happier. The quality is exceptional and it's very convenient as I often record audiobooks while away from a studio on my travels (major wanderlust!) Recommend!
A good buy - and a fine product
I purchased this microphone based on the recommendation from my Son who uses it in a very professional manner. I've used other microphones, and compared to previous experiences, this product is superior. I recommend this to anyone who need to record or narrate their product (book or whatever). It is also good for video bloggers. I do zoom training and the quality of the audio is better using this product.
EVERY PENNY IS WORTH IT!!
First of all, the quality! The QUALITY IS OFF THE HOOK! (Sorry people that I was screaming at this review section). I say the quality because I'm from using Rode Video Shotgun Pro mic on my Canon 80D, so seeing this Shure MV7 mic for the first time, I was stunned by the quality has been built out of it! It almost feels like the first time I saw Dolce and Gabbana brown leather jacket with gold plate on the left chest! (Note that I used the word saw, NOT bought. It was too expensive and the quality is... ) Back to the review! Second was quality! (Seriously? Quality again?) I meant the voice quality. It so crisp that I want to listen to my voice over and over and over (I don't have great sexy voice but I just have normal Asian voice with excitement). The touch control was another part that so good to use. The touch sensor is pretty good (I think the best one is iPhone so if iPhone touch sensor is 10, this mic is 7.5). The last but not the least, the setup. It's so easy. It's getting the power source from the connection (I used USB-C on my MacBook Pro). All cables are included which is another bonus for me. So all you gotta do is plug in. PS. Those of you who are going to use tripod at your home, recommend to get thread adapter that sells in B&H unless you get your own mic stand. I bought Auray TT-6220 Telescoping Tabletop Microphone Stand (Black) here. But when I wanted to use on my small tripod, I needed it. Hope this review helps you to make purchasing decision. Thank you.
I use this mic daily
I have another review that I wrote about this mic, but B&H's website doesn't appear to let me update that review. I've now been using this mic almost daily for over a year. The audio is crisp and clear, background noise is kept to a minimum, and people on the other end of the meeting/phone call give compliments on the detail that this mic captures. I used to use a condenser mic, but that also had the annoying feature of picking up a lot of 60Hz hum. This mic doesn't do that and I didn't have to make any adjustments to the room either. For the person who mentioned they couldn't fit it in a shockmount, it has one internally. That is why the mic is the size that it is. For those complaining about the USB port, mine hasn't had any issues. I accidentally bent the micro usb connector on the cheap cable they shipped with it and the mic survived just fine. The cable, on the other hand, was useless after that. I solved this problem by finding a 90 degree USB adapter so that the connector isn't pointing straight out the back of the mic. It now sits mostly flush and swiveling the mic is more likely to cause the adapter to disconnect at the other end. If your laptop, like mine, is usb-c only, don't try to buy long usb-c to usb-c cables. They are crazy expensive. Instead, try to buy a usb-c to mini or micro usb-b cable. They are much cheaper. My setup is usb-c to micro usb (10 feet), then an adapter from micro-usb to usb-c (1 inch), and then finally a short usb-c to 90 degree micro-usb adapter (6 inches).
Great quality
Really clear audio quality and VERY easy to set up and use regularly. Would recommend for those wanting an elevated quality level without the more hefty price tags that come with higher end models
Audio Professor and I recommend this microphone
The Shure MV7 and the Shure SM7B are top of the line industry microphones. I teach podcasting / audio production, and there's a reason these microphones are prioritized in the industry. They have a nice frequency range, low noise floor optimized for dialogue, and rich fidelity that gives you professional sound. There's little EQ manipulation necessary from your DAW in post, as the signal sounds great out of the box. The MV7 in particular, is a hybrid analog/digital dynamic mic and will work with your XLR mixer/interface or plug directly in via USB. I tell my students, using this mic is almost like cheating, with very little work required in controlling your capture conditions and recording environment. Fantastic quality for any professional or home setup.
Nice....but not perfect
I did a lot of research...and went with the Shure MV7. Definitely not for looks. WHY would you put such a huge logo on the side? Well, I know why, but do you really think that we want to see a huge logo on the side of your product? Sound is great...sometimes I hear a little noise bleeding in, but nothing like my old Blue Mic which was totally unusable at the end of it's life. The only complaint I have thus far is the all the PLOSIVES. The supplied windscreen is horrible. So, I purchased the Shure RK345 Windscreen for SM7B which fits perfectly and seems to be doing the trick....it also transforms the look away from a Dixie-cup.
Awesome mic
Mic sounds clean and clear. I would purchase it again.
