Wow, the difference is obvious. A great sounding mic. I have been using a RODE Podmic forever. The de-noiser is really incredible. Great comparison Cat.
Merci pour cette nouvelle vidéo très instructive 🙂 ... j'utilise le MV7 depuis plusieurs années et la différence de son avec le MV7+ est juste dingue ... un nouvel achat en vue 😅
Love this! The mic sounds great too! I always get worried that usb mics might have a weird dip in the audio quality randomly but that doesn’t seem to be the case with this mic. Great video
Hi Cat, I discovered your channel just today and I am enjoying your content. I really like the way you did the teleprompter video. I have a question. Is your back ground a green screen or is it what you have.
Thanks for doing all those comparisons. I like the concept of the MV7+, particularly if one is traveling. But of all the tests, the one that sounded the best to me was the Wave - when it was close. You have a bright voice and the Wave, up close, softened it beautifully. Would your results be different if you had the MV7+ closer? My best mic is an SM7B and the results are significantly different if I have it close versus a foot away.
This is just really freaky. I was literally about to ask you what mic you employed in your vids since you really have a nice sound. But now I see that you switched to another mic! Too funny! It is reassuring to know though that you are basically using the same model but just a newer generation. Assuming the denoiser only works in USB mode? Either way,...it's a nice mic. I only wish that they did add that LED light feature as it "cheapens" it a bit in my opinion. Again,..that's just my opinion and I guess one can simply leave it off. Does the MOTIV software also include an EQ option? I still love my RE27 Dynamic Mic but was kind of wanting an extra USB option for quick online interviews. MV7+ might be right for that. Thanks for this upload!
You are right, the denoiser is a USB feature, which is why the test with XLR didn't block out the fan. I don't see any EQ options in the Motive Mix software, even when I add the source as an input to the Mixer. It is in Beta right now, so not sure what might change in the future. For the LED, you can set it to solid > black, which will make it invisible. You can also turn it away from the camera.
Oh, I get really distracted when videos have the mics sensitive enough to pick up lip smack (*shiver*) and other mouth sounds (*double shiver*). Related to your conference experience: do you have a recommended solution for an in-ear monitor (or alternative solutions)?
I didn't check out in-ear monitors at NAB but I've been using the MEE clear in-ear monitors for a long time and don't have any complaints. I mean, I wouldn't want to wear them ALL day.
Hi Cat! Curious if you also use a shotgun mic so you can have it out of frame ? I’m using the Elgato Wave 3 which I really like but I’m wanting to shoot videos with no mic in frame :)
I have this mic and after watching realized I never tried the Motiv Mix software! Thank you for this video; I now learned that the settings save inside the mic. That is great news. One question: I see that in addition to software called Motiv Mix (and it says beta), I have another program called Shure Plus MOTIV. Can you tell me which you are using or recommend one over the other?
My understanding is that Motiv Mix is the new one that's needed for the MV7+, but I could be incorrect. I honestly haven't opened MOTIV in a long time!
Nice. I just was doing a little research around their denoiser and don't see anything about dogs barking or those types of sounds. Any idea if the built-in effects handle that? Zoom has gotten so good at filtering my dogs or coughing in the last couple years, I basically never worry about it. But when I'm forced to use Teams or Webex, they still lag behind. It'd be nice to have a local hardware option if this does it.
I had actually meant to say something in the video about web conferencing. Most are pretty good at using voice isolation. I haven't tested the mic with barking or other noises, but my understanding is that sudden, loud noises will still get through.

Thanks Gary! I've heard great things about the Podmic.

I really don’t see much of a difference between MV7 & MV7+ vs the other mics and the Shure mics.
6 min until you actually start.... girl.... you lost me sorry
... I'm really sorry. I think this came over a little mean. I know creating this content takes a lot of effort, I respect that, much love!
