Shure Introduces MV7 Hybrid XLR/USB Microphone for Recording and Streaming

Inspired by the Shure SM7B, which quickly became an icon among many musicians, podcasters and creatives forced to work from home, the new Shure MV7 is a dynamic microphone with both USB and XLR outputs for use with computers and professional interfaces alike. Basically, the MV7 expands on the famous cardioid studio microphone with software features. Users can connect via USB and explore additional set-up features and Auto Level Mode within the complementary ShurePlus MOTIV app, which allows controlling vocal tone, and distance-effect from the microphone.

Shure released a new version of its ShurePlus MOTIV Mobile Recording App, designed for use with the company’s MOTIV Digital Condenser Microphones. Version 1.1 of this iOS app offers a host of new features, including five-band EQ and gain adjustment controls for the MV51 Digital Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone, the MV5 Digital Condenser Microphone, and MVi Digital Audio Interface.

During the 2015 NAMM Show, Shure introduced its new MOTIV digital products, a new plug-and-play microphone line designed to capture high-quality audio for vocal/acoustic recording, podcasts, YouTube videos, field recording, and more. The four new portable, plug-and-play products capture audio through direct connection to any Apple iOS, Mac, or PC Device.
