Performance-wise, this is immediately an elevation to your sound. I have it plugged in via USB to a Lightning Hub, which my Macbook Pro then plugs into. The MV7 was immediately recognized and I set it to my default audio device. The Motiv software is basic, but useful in terms of setting it up for manual or auto control. I've left it in Auto "far" mode for meetings, meaning it dynamically adjusts the gain to compensate for the 16-18-ish" inch distance I sit from the mic, and the results have been amazing. Flipping to manual control for closer applications takes a couple clicks. This is the best voiceover mic I've ever used. The USB vs XLR difference is predominantly in the bottom end and the lower-mids. The character is exactly the same regardless of interface type, but with the XLR connection running through my Gen3 Scarlett, the MV7 can be made to sound almost indistinguishable from an SM7B, and I don't say that lightly.
If you are thinking about getting this mic, you should probably just get this mic. The only other mics I've ever recommend this highly are the Shure SM58 and the AKG C414. All provide exceptional value, quality, and capability for their intended purposes.

From the moment I started using the Shure MV7, I was blown away by the audio quality it delivered. The richness and clarity it captures are beyond impressive. My voice comes through with exceptional clarity, and the microphone's ability to capture a wide range of tones adds depth to my podcast episodes.
One of the standout features for me is its versatility. Whether I'm recording, streaming, or podcasting on the road, the Shure MV7 consistently delivers. The included tripod has been a game-changer. Its sturdy design ensures stability, and setting it up on the go is a breeze. I can easily adjust the microphone's position to suit my needs, whether I'm sitting at a desk or recording while traveling.
The MV7's USB connectivity is a lifesaver for someone like me who's always on the move. I can simply plug it into my laptop or other devices, and I'm ready to record or go live. The user-friendly controls on the microphone itself allow me to quickly make adjustments to the settings without disrupting my flow.
Additionally, the microphone's sleek and modern design is a visual delight. It adds a professional touch to my recording setup, which is something I truly appreciate.
As someone who has previously struggled with finding the right balance between convenience and high-quality audio, the Shure MV7 has been a revelation.

It has elevated the quality of my podcast episodes while providing the flexibility I need as I work on the road.

The shureplus motiv software (downloadable from their site) is simple but functional. It provides a variety of equalizer settings. The mic also sounds great without them.
I’ve had no issues using this mic with Microsoft Teams or Zoom on a MacBook.
The Shure mini tripod with the mic on it is pretty substantial in size and is not height-adjustable though the mic can tilt and spin. A boom is a better choice if your desk space is limited or your desk height isn’t adjustable.
The photo above shows the mic on a Shure tripod relative to a MacBook Pro 13 inch. The tabletop to the top of the mic is about a foot. From the tip of the nearest tripod leg to the tip of the farthest tripod leg is about 7.5 inches.
The next thing you want to know is: How does this mic compare with the Yeti, which is substantially cheaper and very popular?
The answer is that this microphone is far superior in sound quality and build. The Yeti is more than 10 years old in design, and has wonderful features such as the ability to switch the directional mode of the microphone from capturing one person to capturing a group. But it is an entry-level microphone, assembled with relatively inexpensive parts. The Shure, by contrast, is a professional quality microphone with a correspondingly professional build—and cost.
So if you need the higher quality, and can afford it, the Shure is a big step forward from the Yeti.

Das Mikro wird benutzt um kleine Lernvideos aufzunehmen. Das machen wir entweder mit eine etwas besseren Webcam von Insta360 und Mikrofonanschluss über USB oder mit dem Rode X per XLR und einer Digitalkamera.
Das Mikro macht sowohl über USB als auch über XLR eine gute, verständliche Sprachaufnahme. Und darum geht es. Den klang des Mikros kann man noch über die Software von Shure pimpen oder eben über das Pult, wenn man mit XLR anschließt.
Vergleichen kann ich es nur mit dem Rode NT USB. Im Vergleich dazu klingt das Shure für mich etwas besser. Wenngleich man bestimmt auch mit dem Rode leben kann. Ich mag das Shure aber lieber.
Ich hatte mir zuerst nur das Mikrofon von Shure gekauft und dazu ein NoName Tischstativ. Mit dem Mikro waren wir für unsere Zwecke sehr zufrieden. Als wir ein zweites Mikro haben wollten, habe ich das Set mit dem Stativ von Manfrotto bestellt. Das sieht nicht nur viel besser aus, sondern ist auch gut zu transportieren und passt genau zu dem Stift von dem Mikro. Bei unseren anderen Tischständer ist das Mikro immer irgendwie zu hoch. Da es das Static auch einzeln gibt, haben wir es dann für das andere Mikrofon nachgekauft.
Alles in allem bin ich sehr zufrieden mit dem Shure samt Stativ,
