Podcastage | Shure MV7+ Review / Test (vs. MV7, SM7b, SM58) @Podcastage | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 days ago.
Video & HQ Audio: podcastage.com/rev/mv7plus
Today I review the new Shure MV7+ an XLR & USB dynamic microphone with a lot of DSP processing available over USB. The sound of the XLR is great with a supportive lowend, somewhat mid focussed but pleasing sound, and a non-aggressive upper frequency range. Over USB the sound is a bit different with a somewhat hollow sound with congested mids and a tame top end. The DSP processing is all very nicely implemented and it stores all the settings on device so you can use this on a computer without Shure's softrware as well.
