As a Mv7 owner. You are essentially my lord and savior now. Your graceful solution to the Mv7 is ironic, as I’m surprised that they never thought to extend the filter for such a better plosives rejection
Also, subscribed! Such a good overview of the product. I already bought it, but no one did such a good overview as you have done here. Especially as I know the product a lot more having owned it for a few months, I really feel you did a very thorough review and walk through.
@@MarztechRacing in XLR mode those features don’t work as they are used through USB functionality. So you would want a good audio interface. I am using an SSL 2+ but there are a lot of solid ones out there, like Elgatos new one that comes with it’s own processing software. My current setup now is: Electrovoice RE20 to dbx 286s to SSL 2+ to PC. I was using quite a few plugins to tweak sound and found it introduced lag and delay/sync issues from my audio. So the dbx 286s is a hardware version of handling adjusting compression, bass/clarity, DeEssing, etc. before it gets to my audio interface.
Finally someone noticed the popping sounds from the S, T, and P. And suggested a fix afterwards. I saw a lot of reviews and no one seemed to care about that. Thank you.
still after 3 years - this video was sooo helpful thank you. And I thought I'm the only one with the plosive issue haha. THANKS, just ordered the RK345
Exactly the test review I was looking for! No one else did the MV7 + software tweaks vs. the SM7B comparison. And the pop filter was where I was leaning towards based on the plosives! Huge thanks, Sir!
No amount of software makes up for it beign a worse mic, any ewnhancement you can do to the mv7 can also be done to the sm7b too completely maintaining the quality gap that is intentionally there for a reason.
Thanks Mate! I was really sitting at the fence. Don't have the money to buy sm7b but was not sure about mv7. Now I am just gonna take it for voice over.
EXCELLENT DEMONSTRATION. I had the misfortune of watching another (supposed) demonstration that turned out to be all about the demonstrator and hardly anything about the mike. Meanwhile, you have confirmed my main thesis regarding the MV7: If you add the RK345B and manually set the audio characteristics using the included software, one can create a nearly identical output to the SM7B. Which only makes logical sense, as what would be the point of creating software if it didn't encompass the audio spectrum which is characteristic of Shure microphones? But to hear it and see the settings in action was truly satisfying. Thanks to you, my hesitancy towards purchasing the MV7 has been resolved. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH. 👍👍👍
Thank you for making this video! Just purchased the MV7 Bundle on the scan website. Found you very funny and informative. I been stuck between the Shure SM7B and MV7 for a while. I done a tone of research, but this video gave me the selling point to go with MV7, which was the resolving of the plosive issue I notice the MV7 had. The SM7B is the better sounding microphone. That said it is close, but for my purposes I intend it for my side hobbies of streaming, videos, discord and singing it does the job well enough for all them things. I think if any of them where to then kick off and I had the money I probably then just look for a godly microphone. The SM7B is legendary and has been around a while, whilst the MV7 is current and had modern considerations, that fit my purposes. You can also get a full mic setup with the stand etc for the price of the SM7B alone, but if I wanted to set up my SM7B I have to spend at least another £200+ on top of buying the mic to get it operating to its fullest potential. Hopefully, this helps people with their decisions. Thanks for making this video to help make up my mind!
This is the best review of MV7 from all i saw at the moment. No one oi this f***ing UA-cam didn't even mentioned about issue with slow dynamics on auto settings - literally no one!, and great tip with RK345 windscreen. Thank You so much! Have a question/request: If You, let's say, want to buy good dynamic mic setup for home usage - podcasts, zoom, etc (not for singing or instrument recordings) and, let's say, You have 300$ (excluding boom arm) - I found 2 setups: First - XLR: Shure SM57 mic + Shure A81WS windscreen + Shure A55 shock stopper (i found that they use this setup in White house for over 2 decades) + Audient EVO4. Or Second - USB: Shure MV7 + Shure RK345 (just like You suggested - i was very impressed by your review) - both cost roughly same money, both mimic SM7b + hi-end inrerface, each one have it's own pros and cons. I was ready to buy first one but at that day MV7 was anounsed and after your review I'm really don't know which one i should buy, help me please - suggest some of those two which one is better on your opinion. Thank You. Best regards!
Thank you so much for the foam tip! My MV7 is on the way, and I just ordered that extra foam to test this out. Very excited to be upgrading the sound quality for my show!!
What is so awesome is you care. You are so thorough, and you allow us, beginners, to grasp these concepts with ease. Because you found this hack, I didn't buy the SM7B, I bought the MV7 with filter. Thank you! you are awesome!
Well done, because of this "hack" thats been around since the dawn of time and is built in to most dynamic mics.... you bought a shit mic instead of a good one! Congrats.
Absolutely brilliant, thank you so much for the well structured review. Just what i needed. Got the MV7 today and i was a bit dissapointed with the same things that you mentioned. Just ordered a pop filter to get closer to the mic. Excellent work 👍
You are the ONLY person who has addressed the plosive issue with the MV7. Thank you so much! Like, Sub, Share~ You just saved me $500.00. Thank you so much! Are you using a Cloudlifter or Fethead PreAmp?
Holy cow this was a good review. Love the "Its a goal" example. - currently using a Elgato Wave 3 but was thinking of getting the MV7 to try to help reduce even more background noise since I am recoring in an untreated living room near a noisy street.
Thank you so much for this review and your golden tip about the foam swap! I was looking for a dynamic mic for live streaming with usb option. I bought the mv7k as well as the foam from sm7b and I’m really satisfied. I had to wait 2 weeks more for the foam. This really solves all the problems I experienced from the original foam. It’s amazing how buttery the sound gets. Now I don’t have to use extra pop filters or having to worry about getting to close to the mic. You are a legend!
wow ...at 13:50 i thought thank you for the honesty and information...i don't need to try out the mv7 ....at 15:50 i thought thank you again...i'm sold on trying the mv7 out ....very good review...exactly the information i was looking for...(only infos i'm missing is how it sounds with xlr output+rk345 and how well it takes eq because i'm more interested in the mv7x) ...subscribed!
I've seen this "hack" elsewhere but it wasn't demonstrated as clearly as you have. Thank you for taking the time and effort to show how incredible the sound is with the RK345. And of course, for labelling what the actual part number is too!
I am going to order one because it's a USB mic. It's for gaming because I play video games 8hrs a day and speak a lot. Sometimes I do videos but that's rare and the same with streaming. But I speak a lot so that's why I wanna. Whole setup cost 350€ ( mic + mic stand) Buying this because I don't have an XLR thing. Love from Finland.
All's I know is that the MV7 is gonna be a huge improvement to my Astro A40 built in mic. I have no regrets and am so happy that it has USB. The only thing I would change is that it should have USB-C instead of using USB b to type A. Great side by side review
Nice review! Most folks like it when comparing to sm7b. But no one has said, they are willing to replace their sm7b with it. What needs to be done to the mv7 to convince you to replace your $400 sm7b with the $249 mv7?
There is no example in existance of a mv7 sounding better than a sm7b, just no, stop trying so hard to justify your spending. The Mv7 is poop, the sm7b is high quality, theres a reason its on every podcasters table and in most singers mic collections and the reason isn't because the cheaper lower quality mv7 sounds better is it?
Now I will be able to talk in my newest drawing videos thanks to your awesome advice! My old usb mic was terrible. Thank you very much I get my mic on Tuesday I just ordered the pop filter will be here Monday!
great video, i could easily listen to it for a longer time + you´re the first one, who mentioned the thing with the "p`s" on the mv7 + give a very good solution as well Thx 4 that, i strait orderd the foam of the sm7b ^^ keep the work
I just ordered the mv7 and now I ordered the rk345 thanks to your video. I normally use the re20, but I wanted to see how this mic will do with the setup I currently have. I use the focusrite 2i2 3rd gen with a vidpro mx-042 audio mixer(not much of a popular brand, but works great). I can't wait to get this mic in and put it to work, thanks for this great informative video!
Hey I have a strange issue. I bought the focusrite scarlett solo, and my mic quality for the shure mv7 actually sounds worse through it then it does through USB
@@Phober no not at all I have a non proofed from with high ceilings and high echo as well and I can not hear any of it at all even with usb this mic is amazing and worth it
@@charie8689 cause i live near the forest and the cricket always had a choir session everynight and i wanna find the best mic that can cut that cricket background noise
I found that for the MV7 you need extra bit of distance between the mic and the filter; as you mentioned in your video. Take this to the next level, get yourself a thick fabric (for me a sock worked perfectly) cut it into a shape where you can stuff it around the walls of the pop filter it comes with, attached it back at a far enough distance....done, the popping plosives get drastically reduced.
Wow!! Great advice for the popshield. Just bought the RK345. I have a problem with my MV7 - it has just started outputting some crazy white noise when using it for video meetings. Not a problem until a couple of days ago. There is no noise at all when listening to music or videos. So it seems to be a mic-side issue (I use the 'headphone' output as my main audio out as the audio is so clean).
Excellent shout on the RK345. Got the mic a few days ago direct from Shure UK (Your deals went up a little after theirs did but in hindsight should have waited for the bundle) and the plosives was my only real issue. Had been "mitigating" them by putting an old Blue Yeti filter over the top of the default one and it was like a 50/50 as to it working. Going to try your tip of moving the current one up a few for a recording later today then will likely put an order in for the RK345. Sounds and looks great, should fix all my issues with the mic.
Bought the MV7 because you fixed the plosive problem super decently, and as i want to use it for Beatboxing (SM7B is Beatbox high lvl standart, but im super sure it can handle just as good if not better), i'll tell you how good it is once it arrives tomorrow or the day after!!! Freaking good job, i hope it can handle my bass & kicks/snares :D And of course, i bought the RK345 with it thanks to you!. AMAZING Video!!
Please explain how you think a cut down cheaply made version of a studio classic can do better than said studio classic, put the pipe down you high enough...
@@damiengreen28 who hurt you?? Im Glad i would never be cheeky against a random dude online, holy crap. I compared both and yes the mv7 is a lot more Budget friendly, Nice options per Software. Since i need to spend about 800 bucks on top of the sm7b for it to Sound minimal better im better off the mv7 Like the other 90% of people. You have no clue, stop talking until you test both as i did.
Excellent video. I"m a total beginner to this stuff so I've got a couple of basic questions. 1. Are you plugging the SM7 into any kind of audio -processor interface (with / without uplifter?) or are you plugging it straight into a PC? 2. If you are plugging it straight into a PC does it have any kind of non-standard sound card? I ask because I've got one of these plugged into a mac mini via usb and I don't believe it gives the kind of sound you are getting...
Very informative video! Just bought the MV7 and will see if my el cheapo pop filter will help with up close plosives; or if I need to invest in the RK345. As other stated, that pop filter aspect of your test was very helpful.
Shure MV7 unboxed, and I found 3 major issues and wish Shure can fix it by releasing a new firmware. 1&2. High Recording Latency, and Distorted mic-in: * Push the Mix slider to 100% Playback * Use DAW(Reaper/Nuendo) to process the mic-input * Neither ASIO nor WASAPI can make the latency low enough for recording singing; I use a 99 Chinese-Yuan Type-C mic (Mi-Earphone), its latency is much lower than MV7. * With input from MV7, I also tried to use the OUTPUT of MV7 and that type-c Mi-Earphone, both of them cannot get low latency. ** If I use the input from that Mi-Earphone, and output from MV7, the latency is very low. This is why I determined the LATENCY is from MV7 RECORDING. Perhaps its Limiter and Compressor is ALWAYS WORKING even though I switch them to OFF by the ShurePlus MOTIV. ** I didn't insert any processors into DAW to test this scenario. 3. Audio Output lacks Low Frequency * When using it as a USB Audio Interface, the low frequency is cut too much. So that I can't use it as a mixing setup. Because these issues, I can only use MV7 to record by its built-in processors (EQ + Limiter + Compressor), I will hear another set of processors from DAW after I record. If I need to record repeatedly, it'll be impossible because the sound is totally different. So I wish Shure releases a new firmware to fix them: 1. Allow flat curve on the playback. 2. Heavy Distortion on the recorded sound if the Mix is pushed to 100% Playback. This must be a bug! 3. Reduce the latency of the recording. Perhaps the Limiter/EQ/Compress should be removed in the DSP chain.
You are exactly who I was looking for. Someone who actually understands audio and knows how to communicate his knowledge to laymen. Many thanks

Because Shure wouldn't let people post their day 1 reviews if they didn't like it. Not kidding, someone leaked it.
I did this filter swap ($14 on Amazon) and it worked PERFECTLY!!! Thanks for this tip.
You Absolutely hit the point for me to buy MV7.
Literally the best review for the MV7 out there! Super detailed. Going to be picking one of these bad boys up for sure.
You should have used some word play .... instead of sure used Shure lol
Man this is a game-changer.. I was on the fence before watching this video, but now definitely getting the MV7. Thanks!
for every problem with a microphone there is always a solution.
if you put the pop filter of the mv7 over the rk 345 it sounds even better.
That trick with the foam cover... MIND F'ING BLOWN! Now I'm getting a M7 and the RK345 replacement in the same purchase for sure!
still after 3 years - this video was sooo helpful thank you. And I thought I'm the only one with the plosive issue haha. THANKS, just ordered the RK345
The MV7 with the RK345 is pure gold!

Hey I have a strange issue. I bought the focusrite scarlett solo, and my mic quality for the shure mv7 actually sounds worse through it then it does through USB
in my opinion the usb version sounds alot better then XLR
Going through USB means that the MV7 is getting all the DSP that Shure builds in, to get a similar effect you would want to do post-processing.

@@damiengreen28 who hurt you?? Im Glad i would never be cheeky against a random dude online, holy crap. I compared both and yes the mv7 is a lot more Budget friendly, Nice options per Software. Since i need to spend about 800 bucks on top of the sm7b for it to Sound minimal better im better off the mv7 Like the other 90% of people. You have no clue, stop talking until you test both as i did.
Excellent review of an excellent new mic system.
alright, it's time to slap some sm7b foam on every microphone!
Swapping the foam with the SM7B is the brilliant
Great review, very helpful. Best I've seen!
this is wild. the mv7 sounds better than the sm7b.
Great review I’m getting this bad boy with the filter
19:02 me sending a signal to the aliens 😂😂😂
I've just got a motive mv7, and I very like it, thanks for video, I think I'll buy a rk345 too! 👌
thank you, youre the man!
Excellent video. I"m a total beginner to this stuff so I've got a couple of basic questions.
1. Are you plugging the SM7 into any kind of audio -processor interface (with / without uplifter?) or are you plugging it straight into a PC?
2. If you are plugging it straight into a PC does it have any kind of non-standard sound card?
I ask because I've got one of these plugged into a mac mini via usb and I don't believe it gives the kind of sound you are getting...
very detailed review. thumbs up. thank you for the tip
" Thank you ; Good Job ! "
Very informative video! Just bought the MV7 and will see if my el cheapo pop filter will help with up close plosives; or if I need to invest in the RK345. As other stated, that pop filter aspect of your test was very helpful.
Fantastic information with a really fun format. Consider me subscribed!
Perfect review.. great work!!
what a review...wow, love it! nice!
Shure MV7 unboxed, and I found 3 major issues and wish Shure can fix it by releasing a new firmware.
1&2. High Recording Latency, and Distorted mic-in:
* Push the Mix slider to 100% Playback
* Use DAW(Reaper/Nuendo) to process the mic-input
* Neither ASIO nor WASAPI can make the latency low enough for recording singing; I use a 99 Chinese-Yuan Type-C mic (Mi-Earphone), its latency is much lower than MV7.
* With input from MV7, I also tried to use the OUTPUT of MV7 and that type-c Mi-Earphone, both of them cannot get low latency.
** If I use the input from that Mi-Earphone, and output from MV7, the latency is very low.
This is why I determined the LATENCY is from MV7 RECORDING.
Perhaps its Limiter and Compressor is ALWAYS WORKING even though I switch them to OFF by the ShurePlus MOTIV.
** I didn't insert any processors into DAW to test this scenario.
3. Audio Output lacks Low Frequency
* When using it as a USB Audio Interface, the low frequency is cut too much. So that I can't use it as a mixing setup.
Because these issues, I can only use MV7 to record by its built-in processors (EQ + Limiter + Compressor), I will hear another set of processors from DAW after I record.
If I need to record repeatedly, it'll be impossible because the sound is totally different.
So I wish Shure releases a new firmware to fix them:
1. Allow flat curve on the playback.
2. Heavy Distortion on the recorded sound if the Mix is pushed to 100% Playback. This must be a bug!
3. Reduce the latency of the recording. Perhaps the Limiter/EQ/Compress should be removed in the DSP chain.
You're brilliant man! Thank you!
