Optimised Audio for Podcasting

As a successor to the well-received Shure SM7B, this microphone seriously impresses when it comes to podcasting. When positioned in close proximity to your mouth, you are left with a clear, intelligible, and true-to-life sound. The optimised frequency response guarantees rich and natural vocal reproduction, with an in-built pop filter to soften plosives and p-pops. This allows for a more efficient and fast-action editing process, which is great for intermediate/pro-level podcasters looking to record multiple episodes in a day.

You are also supplied with both a USB and XLR output to allow for a direct connection to your computer or via an audio interface. This microphone is further compatible with field records, mixers, and even some Android/iOS devices - ideally suited to any and all podcast recording setups.

Unidirectional Polar Pattern

The Shure SM7B utilises an efficient unidirectional cardioid polar pattern. This is the best natural defense against background room noise as the mic capsule focuses upon what is directly in front of it. If you are in a busier environment with some mid-level background noise, you might have to do a small amount of room treatment. This might consist of some form of noise-reduction software, however, this is incredibly unlikely due to the cardioid polar pattern.

Tactile Controls and Connections

In regard to USB connectivity, the Shure SM7B consists of broadcast-quality functionality and reliable audio recording. You have the ability to capture vocal audio at sample rates and resolutions up to 48 kHz / 24-bit, which is the industry standard for mixing and editing broadcast audio. The microphone further integrates a tactile touch-panel interface to control levels, headphone volumes, monitor mix, and mic-mute. You can also attach the SM7B directly to a boom stand, which is great as a space-saving option for those who host and produce their own podcasts.

FAQs:

Can you dual-record from the USB and XLR outputs simultaneously?

The Sure MV7 does allow for dual audio recording from the USB and XLR outputs at the same time.

Can you record with two Shure MV7 microphones to one computer?

The computer may only recognise one USB microphone. It is therefore best to record via XLR output to an audio interface (sold separately) that can then be connected to your computer.

Can you use this microphone for video conferences and presenting?

The Shure MV7 is great for video conferencing and online presentation. Be sure to select the MV7 as both the audio input and output on your computer preferences. You can then hear the other meeting/conference participants via the in-built 35mm headphone monitoring on the SHure MV7.
