Shure MV7+ review

Shure designed the MV7+ for recording good audio in less than ideal spaces, and its feature list reflects that. Voice Isolation Technology separates your voice from background sound, a real-time Denoiser removes ambient noise, and the improved Auto Level Mode adjusts gain based on your distance, volume and spatial detection. The Digital Popper Stopper handles plosives, which matters if you film yourself and do not want a pop filter on camera. Like the PodMic USB, it has both USB-C and XLR outputs, so it can move into an interface setup later. The LED touch panel doubles as a live meter and mutes the mic with a tap anywhere on it. The MOTIV Mix desktop app adjusts sound signature, gain, EQ and compression. The drawbacks are cost, at $299 list, and that the standard box contains only the mic, a cable and a guide. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test it.

Who it is for

Podcasters and streamers in noisy or untreated rooms who want the mic to handle levels and background noise for them.
