The Shure MV7i is a microphone with a built in interface…or is it an interface with a built in microphone? Either way, let’s check out everything it can do and see how it works as an interface when powering different dynamic and condenser mics.
*In the video I say that the MV7i is only available in dark grey, but it IS actually available in several other colors! Very cool.
Shure sent the Mv7i to me at no cost, but I’m under no obligation to make a video or say anything specific and no one else saw this video before it was uploaded.
