Shure, a leading audio manufacturer for almost 100 years, has designed the new MV7 Podcast Microphone that is ideal for at-home streamers who are looking for a high-quality product that doesn’t overwhelm their space.
The MV7 Podcast Microphone’s design has been awarded a 2021 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
Podcasting, streaming, and gaming microphones are often on-camera and visible for viewers/listeners to enjoy.
Shure understands that for these audiences, aesthetics, and physical design matters, especially in the gaming space, game-casters, and viewers like to be seen using the latest technology in their videos.
Harnessing the Company’s engineering prowess that developed the iconic SM7B Vocal Microphone, Shure’s new MV7 Podcast Microphone boasts a sleek, compact design.
Offered in two colors—black and silver—users can choose whichever works best with their design aesthetic.
As Shure approachs the product design of the MV7, simplicity pairs with the Company’s reputation for developing durable technology products helped inform the entire process.
Furthermore, given the clear and significant uptick in the demand for tools and accessories that aid live streaming and podcasting at- home, Shure know the product has to support the desire of creators to broadcast their talents from anywhere.
Shure keeps simplicity in mind with clean lines, easily accessible controls and increased compatibility so users can minimize the set-up time needed, while also reducing the editing process on the backend.
The MV7 Podcast Microphone is Shure’s first hybrid XLR/USB microphone.
The mic offers a professional XLR output for use with interfaces, mixers, and professional audio equipment—making it an ideal multi-purpose solution for gaming, and streaming.
Equipped with both USB and XLR outputs, built-in digital signal processing, mobile and desktop app control plus hardware control, the microphone has been specifically engineered to give creatives a powerful mic capable of podcasting, streaming, vlogging and much more.
Featuring Shure’s Voice Isolation Technology, the MV7 elevates the user’s voice to the next level.
The mic has a frequency response that emphasizes vocal clarity and provides fantastic rear rejection, particularly for frequencies 1 kHz and below.
That means the MV7 is naturally insensitive to the low rumblings that cause the worst background noise – like humming air conditioners or incessant street traffic.
It’s also highly effective at eliminating the reverb that attacks from all angles when your voice bounces off bare walls, ceilings and floors.
The MV7 also features an integrated touch panel, which optimizes control for quick, convenient adjustments.
With just a few taps, the touch panel control lets the user adjust the gain, headphone volume, monitor mix, and mute/unmute, with an option to lock customized settings.
Built-in headphone monitoring ensures that users always get perfect audio.
Users can also fine-tune the mix between microphone and playback on the built in-in touch panel or ShurePlus MOTIV app.
Overall, the dynamic MV7 microphone delivers versatility and control, flexible connectivity options, and high-quality audio in a compact form factor design making it the go-to option for creators of all levels.
