Shure MV7 USB XLR Podcast Microphone (MV7 VS Shure SM7b)

Today, I have the Shure MV7 in the Audio Hotline Studio! The MV7 has been talked about a lot recently and I was excited to be able to get my hands on one and try it out. This is not only an XLR mic, but it is also a USB mic. In addition to being an XLR/USB mic it also has a ton of features and comes with a standalone software for post processing. In all reality, this is basically all anyone needs to start a podcast, or get better audio on YouTube. Even though it has a lot to offer though, is it worth the price?
Be sure to check out the testing and audio samples and see if this is right for you! Every person has different expectations of audio gear. If the features are what you need, and you like the sound, then it is right for you!

Well, I tried to get this review out fast... but life happened! I got sick...Yep! THAT sickness... and it slowed down this process a lot!

Thanks for watching the Audio Hotline! I'll see you Audio Nerds next time!
