Shure MV7 Podcast Microphone Bundle

Description The Shure MV7 Podcast Microphone Bundle gives you two items perfect for any podcasting setup: the Shure MV7 Microphone, and a Manfrotto PIXI Mini Table Top Tripod for mounting it on your desk. Whether you’re recording to audio interfaces, hard-disk recorders, studio preamps, mobile devices, or computers, the MV7 will give you a broadcast-ready sound over USB and XLR connections.It will not, however, hold itself upright of its own volition—that’s what the Manfrotto PIXI Mini tripod is for. Place the mic onto the tripod, and you’ll have almost everything you need to record a podcast-ready sound. FeaturesLegendary Broadcast SoundThe mic takes its design and sonic cues from the Shure SM7B, a classic used on countless podcasts and radio broadcasts. Use the mic in close proximity to your voice and you’ll find it exhibits a clear, intelligible, and high-quality sound. Optimized frequency response for rich and natural vocal reproductionWorks with Your Analog or Digital SetupThanks to its multiple outputs, you can use this mic with nearly any podcasting setup. The mic works with your audio interface, field recorder, mixer, or computer (over USB Mini-B) as well as select Android devices, and select iOS devices. The device is also MFi-certified.Rugged Appointments for Sound and UseLike the SM7B, the MV7 has a built-in pop filter to protect against plosives and p-pops, greatly simplifying your editing process. With its built-in ready-to-mount yoke, the mic offers a build quality that is rugged, with an all-metal construction for reliability in mission-critical circumstances.Unidirectional Polar Pattern for the Untreated RoomThe mic features a unidirectional cardioid polar pattern, which is the best natural defense against room noise: since the capsule mostly captures what’s directly in front of it, you won’t pick up as much room noise as you would with another polar pattern. Depending on your particular room, you may still need a little room treatment, or some noise-reduction software, to address issues such as your computer’s hum or your air conditioner—but the chances of that are markedly lower with a cardioid polar pattern.Integrated Controls & High-Quality USB AudioOn the USB side, the mic provides broadcast-quality specs and intuitive functionality. Capture audio at sample rates and resolutions up to 48 kHz / 24-bit, which is the standard for editing and mixing broadcast audio. Use the integrated touch-panel interface on the mic itself to control levels, headphone volumes, monitor mix, and mic-mute.Built-In 3.5mm Headphone Monitoring with Mix ControlThe mic offers a headphone jack for monitoring. Just plug a pair of headphones into the MV7’s 3.5mm jack, and you’ll be able to listen to your high-quality audio in all its glory. In addition to its touch-panel control surface, the mic gives you a blend knob, which comes in handy for recording music: you can use it to adjust the balance between your mic’s pickup and any pre-recorded audio.USB Connection Right Out of the BoxTwo cables are included, one a USB Mini Type-B to USB Type-A, the other a USB Mini Type-B to USB Type-C.Included Software to Make Recording EasierThe free ShurePlus MOTIV Desktop Application will let you save your own presets, enable auto-level, compression, limiting, and EQ the signal, and more. DSP modes allow you to tweak the sound on the way in.  Specifications MicrophonePrimary ApplicationsPodcast, Audio for VideoForm FactorDesktopIntended Sound SourcesVocalsSound FieldMonoCapsule1 x DynamicPolar PatternUnidirectionalOrientationEnd AddressCircuitrySolid-StateHigh-Pass FilterNoneGain Adjustment0 to 36 dBOn-Board ControlsGain/Sensitivity, Headphone Volume, Mic MuteWindscreenBuilt-InPerformanceFrequency Range20 Hz to 20 kHzMaximum SPLUnidirectional: 132 dB SPLImpedanceUnidirectional: 314 Ohms at 1 kHzSensitivityUnidirectional: -55 dBV at 1 kHzUnidirectional: -47 dBFS/Pa at 1 kHzConnectivityOutput Connectors (Analog)1 x XLR 3-Pin Male (on Mic)Output Connectors (Digital)1 x Micro-USB Female (on Mic)Headphone Connector1 x 1/8″ / 3.5 mmCable Length10′ / 3.0 m (Straight)Digital AudioA/D Conversion16 / 24-BitSample RateUp to 44.1 / 48 kHzOS CompatibilityAndroidWindowsiOSmacOS*As of September, 2020: Check with manufacturer for the most up-to-date compatibilityRAM Requirement2 GB MinimumPowerBus PowerUSB / LightningPhysicalColorBlackMountingMounting Thread (via Integrated Hardware)Mounting Thread Size5/8″-27 FemaleConstruction MaterialMetalDimensionsø: 2.6 x L: 2.1″ / ø: 66.5 x L: 53.6 mm (Microphone)H: 6.5 x W: 3.6 x L: 6″ / H: 164 x W: 90.2 x L: 153.6 mm (Microphone, with Mount)Weight1.21 lb / 0.55 kgPackaging InfoPackage Weight2.41 lbBox Dimensions (LxWxH)12.3 x 4.9 x 4.4″
