thanks for showing what it actually sounds like for online meeting. Most other reviewers just record their computers and assume what people can hear the same from the other side.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. The use case makes total sense for a professional who wants to bring out the best audio quality for his meetings. Question about lip sync: how big of a deal is it that the camera and mic are not coupled for a Zoom call?
omg thank you for the amazon link for the mic stand, it was taking me all week to figure out which one to get a lot are over priced.. this one is super cheap and comes in 2 wks , thanks dude
I just got this mic, and I don’t know if it was a firmware update, but regarding your con about the levels of yourself and the mix, there are two parts to this. Pressing and holding the mic/headphone button accesses the “mix” mode to find the right balance between you and the overall mix. Then tap to get back to the headphone level option to increase/decrease overall volume so that you can hear everything as loud or quiet as you want
Are you able to move the microphone out of the frame and get the same quality? It looked like when you even turned your head to face the screen the audio dropped a large amount. For video calls, the goal is to have a hidden microphone, right? We don't want to look like we're podcasters.
Excelente video gracias, podrías probarlo Y hacer un video en programas como discord, meet y teams para ver cuál es más fiel y con mejor calidad. Sigue así buen trabajo
When you position the microphone, is it off to the side and are you speaking straight ahead of the webcam for your zoom calls and will it pick it up just fine? Thanks!
Thanks for the review. I know it's a dynamic but are you able to have the mic outside of the webcams view and still get a usable signal (maybe on a boom)? So people don't see the mic.
@@Building8Media I'd love to see you demonstrate the sound when the MV7 is on a boom just out of frame above your forehead. It's the set-up I'd want for my storytelling online. I've looked at more than a dozen MV7 reviews online, and you'd be the first to demo what I want - before I buy! Thanks.
So I know I'm replying really late to this and they don't show this in the video, but the free software by Shure includes something called Auto Level Mode, which you can set to Near (1-6 inches away from mic) or Far (6-18 inches from mic). There are a couple of other videos which demonstrate this and it's pretty neat.
@@michaelashe5265 because dynamic mics are supposed to be close to the source of sound, if you want the mic to be out of the frame and a further away, you probably want to look at shotgun mics.
Besides adding the app to the laptop, is anything else needed for this mic to work? Every time I want to use zoom, I open the app and then open zoom? And then go into my audio setting to make sure my mic is the MV7? Second, if I'm not using headphones but my computer speakers to hear the opposite side(folks in zoom), will the mic pick up the audio from the computer speaker?
Thanks for the video. I have question - i am starting out with my podcast and video interviews journey? Do you think this would be a good mic ? My concern is two folds : 1) is it a good mic to start, or am i overspending ? 2) If i do videos on it, do i have to be too close to the mic or a 12-18 inch away would work?. Thanks in advance.
@@Building8Media thanks a lot :) .. I decided to go for Rode NT usb mini .. I know there is no comparison with mv7 but since I am just starting out so thought this could be a good first step. If you have any tips or tricks for rode, do let me know .. would love to hear :)
when I record my zoom calls , the audio is not the same I listen to when I recording the zoom call to when I listen to the Video , do you think is a configuration problem ?
why on earth would you spend 250 bucks on a microphone for ZOOM! I mean like if ur doing a podcast, recording music or singing then it makes sense but the soul fact that you just spent a bunch of money on a microphone that you don't even need. if I were you I would get the TONOR Q9 microphone for podcasting, nothing for zoom, I mean as long as people understand what you are saying then it is okay, you don't need to sound like ur in a studio. you could have saved about 200 bucks for something more important like aa holiday or a better laptop! even though you didn't get laptops and holidays for 200 bucks you could save up
I got this mic mainly for zoom too. I’m a video conferencing engineer and I get to test mics and headsets all the time. The gear I test for our employees often costs as much as this mic does and the mics sound squelchy and high pitched. Why not get a mic that makes you sound and feel like a radio dj if you can afford it?
@@Building8Media not really. We’ve been getting speaker phones to try out. The Poly Sync is has got a great speaker on it. It’s really hard to enjoy a speaker phone mic when you’ve been using a shure though.

Nice review but please turn the music down when you're reviewing a microphone, it's harder to hear otherwise.
I agree, your audio sounds great! I can live with the cons about the mic that you mentioned.

btw about the mic always running, there's a mute button on the microphone's interface you can use.

I was thinking the same, this control is actually the same as the one on the Yeti X

I use the Fujifilm XA7 as a webcam for lessons in zoom. The quality is excellent. But! Only with the XC lens is 35 mm)))
So... I am curious, why use the MV7 as opposed to the SM7B behind you (via DAC) ?
When you position the microphone, is it off to the side and are you speaking straight ahead of the webcam for your zoom calls and will it pick it up just fine?
Thanks!
Great video, I only wish the background music was even LOUDER. Maybe throw some cowbell in there too, more cowbell!
Thanks for the video!
Can you tell me what make/model that long mic boom to your left is?

All reviews of mics should include a demo of the mic outside the webcam view, but almost none do!

whats your headphones?

Good job mate
What's your experience of Yeti vs Mv7 regarding the sound quality?

Just disable the ERP in your PC´s UEFI! Then the USB Ports are OFF , when the PC is off.. :)
When using such a microphone instead of the laptop's one, do you have to always wear headphones to avoid feedback or not?
No it's fine :)
My mic doesn’t sound like this on streamyard. What am I doing wrong? 🙈🙈🙈
eq, voice, room treatment, etc.
Nothing it’s just he bought this equipment so the mic 🎤 can sound better
@@b1inxs309 ?
Do I need to purchase a plan to use a mic such as this? I have the Shure SM7B.
@@Building8Media no worries
when I record my zoom calls , the audio is not the same I listen to when I recording the zoom call to when I listen to the Video , do you think is a configuration problem ?
@@Building8Media I would definitley love to test it and see what else can I do to improve my recordings
I didn’t get the mic for zoom I got it to roast the fuck out my teammates
I want to have a bette microphone for my kids classes but not for him to wear headphones he’s only 6. Any ideas
@@Building8Media dang a blue yeti I would think he would just need a blue snowball
Can I use it for Zoom with my iphone?
@@Building8Media No joy, it records on the iPhone but does not work with Zoom?
@@Building8Media did you find out ? Also how is the quality on zoom ?

Maybe consider the people in the other end, who have blood coming out of their ears after 6 hours in zoom calls in a day?! 😂
how the hell did this comment get 9 people to reply, that's mad
