The Shure MV7+ Podcast Mic, styled here in black, makes getting a professional podcast sound easier than ever. Like the original MV7, the MV7+ is a high-quality, broadcast-style dynamic microphone that delivers a clear and present sound and features both a conventional XLR connection and a USB port, allowing you to use it with audio interfaces, mixers, hard disk recorders, or direct to computers and mobile devices. But this updated "+" version adds several key features to improve your podcasting experience, including a customizable full-color LED touch panel with metering, improved DSP functions for better sound quality with less noise, 3 reverb options, a USB-C connector, and deep integration with Shure's MOTIV Mix software for complete control over a wide range of sound-sculpting parameters.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What are the ADC specs? I.e. sample rate, bit depth?

A: The Shure MVX2U MOTIV XLR to USB-C Streaming Adapter is capable of 16- or 24-bit at 48 kHz for analog to digital conversion.

Q: 2. Does this come with everything you need except the speaker?

A: Yes, although you may wish to connect it to a mixer before outputting to a speaker for greater output control.

Q: 3. What is the thread size on the mount connection? Will it fit with Auray MS-5230T Tripod Microphone Stand?

A: The Shure MV7 Podcast Microphone has a yoke mount with a 5/8" thread, which is the same thread size as the Auray MS-5230T Tripod Microphone Stand, so they are directly compatible for use together.

Q: 4. I need to have a 3.5 mm connection (to a camera). What cable/adapter do I need?

A: While it is possible to connect this mic to the 3.5mm input on a camera with this cable, BH #KOXRSM06B, the preamp of the camera would not do a great job of amplifying the signal and could introduction unwanted noise into the recording. We would recommend using a mixer/ recorder in between the mic and camera to give you a stronger mic preamp for a cleaner signal into the camera. Here's a recommendation, BH# TADR60DMKIIK.

Q: 5. Can I use this with an Ipad Pro 11" for Zoom Classes?

A: The Shure MVX2U is designed for laptops and desktop computers. Although it may work with some tablets and iPad models, it has not been tested or designed for this use.

Q: 6. Just bought the MV7 - is it safe/recommended to just leave it plugged in to my PC's USB and be on at all times? Or should I plug/unplug as needed? Does it matter?

A: Yes, you can leave the Shure MV7 Podcast Microphone connected to your computer at all times without causing damage to the mic or computer.

Q: 7. Is the USB bidirectional - e.g. can I hear other participants on ZOOM using just this device ? (I normally use an RME firewire Interface with 2 way audio and XLR mics)

A: Yes, the USB interface is bidirectional. When you set up the mic with your computer, select the MV7 as your audio input and audio output device in your computer's system preferences, and then you will be able to hear the audio with the other participants in your Zoom meeting when monitoring through the mic's headphone jack.

Q: 8. Will this work to push audio into an iPhone 15 Pro Max?
