Shure MV7 – New Microphone for Podcasting and Gaming

The Shure MV7 microphone is a brand new microphone made for podcasters, gaming and home recording.

Ralph M. Rivera already bought one.

From Shure’s website: “Inspired by the legendary SM7B, the MV7 is a dynamic microphone with both USB and XLR outputs for use with computers and professional interfaces alike. Connect via USB and explore additional set-up features and Auto Level Mode within our ShurePlus™ MOTIV app, to control your vocal tone, and distance from the microphone. With Auto Level Mode, you can let the microphone do the work for you.”

Here’s a short overview video from Sweetwater.

And here’s an interesting video of some guys trying it out and comparing to other microphones.

The controls on the mic itself seem pretty cool: a mute button and headphone volume controls for the mic and computer audio (and a mix control to balance the two).
