Shure MV7+
Hybrid USB-C/XLR dynamic podcast mic with onboard DSP: real-time denoiser, auto level, digital pop filter and a customisable LED touch panel.
4.4 / 5
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Highly recommended
Strengths
- Dynamic cardioid capsule rejects room noise far better than typical USB condensers
- USB-C and XLR outputs let the same mic grow from desk setup to studio mixer
- Auto Level Mode and the digital pop filter make recordings usable with no post-processing
Watch outs
- All DSP features (denoiser, auto level, reverb) switch off when using the XLR output
- Premium pricing versus comparable USB dynamic mics
- No stand or boom arm in the box
- Capsule Dynamic
- Polar pattern Cardioid
- Outputs USB-C (digital with DSP) and XLR (analogue), simultaneous hybrid design
- Headphone output 3.5mm jack for real-time monitoring
