Shure Introduces MV7i Smart Microphone and Dual Channel Interface

Shure introduced its new MV7i Smart Microphone and Interface at CES 2025. The MV7i is the first-of-its-kind microphone to serve as a dual-channel audio interface, allowing for two channels of recording and simplify the way creators record audio. The MV7i also features onboard DSP with auto level mode, real-time denoiser, a digital plosive filter and three adjustable reverb types, apart from MOTIV Mix desktop and MOTIV mobile app integration.

Production practices continue to evolve extremely quickly as users embrace new mobile devices, live streaming platforms and formats, and creative approaches. Australian pro audio powerhouse Røde ascended to a leading market position thanks to its popular range of microphones for cameras and smartphones, reinforced five years ago with a completely new range of wireless solutions. Launched in April 2019, the original Wireless GO quickly became one of Røde's most popular products. The next generation of improved Wireless GO II series was now announced.

Hooke Audio, the company that previously developed the Hooke Verse binaural recording headset, is now launching a new KickStarter campaign to promote its latest development, the Hooke Lav. While there are many affordable lavalier microphones that connect to wireless transmitters and even Bluetooth, the Hooke Lav gets a few things right. First its design is "lapel" friendly and will look nice on-camera. Secondly, the updated Bluetooth technology means it might actually work better.

The Italian creative minds at IK Multimedia did it again. Its new iRig Pro DUO offers musicians, producers and engineers true mobility with the first self-powered dual-channel professional mobile audio interface for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Android and Mac/PC. This is a true studio-quality dual-channel audio interface at an affordable price.
