Shure introduces MV7i Smart Microphone and Interface

Shure has released the MV7i Smart Microphone and Interface. Featuring a world-first and patented technology, the MV7i is designed for podcasters, musicians, and streamers who require two channels of recording. MV7i enables users to directly connect a second XLR microphone of their choice or musical instrument (keyboard, guitar, etc.), eliminating the need for an external hardware interface.

MV7i offers the same audio quality as the MV7+, complete with onboard DSP and Mativ Mix desktop and Motiv mobile app integration. “Whether they’re recording a podcast with a guest or tracking vocals and instruments simultaneously in their home studio, creators need technology that simplifies their workflow”, says Eduardo Valdes, AVP of Global Marketing and Product Management, at Shure.

“The MV7i delivers the same sound signature as the MV7+ and streamslines the creative process, saving creators from the hassle of confusing setups”, he adds. “By combining Shure’s microphone audio quality with an integrated interface, we’re eliminating complexity while maintaining professional standards.”

Engineered for two-channel recording, the MV7i supports diverse creative needs, from podcasting with a guest to recording vocals and instruments. The built-in interface lets users connect a second microphone or instrument directly into the MV7i, and then control both channels of audio either in the Motiv apps through a computer or phone or with any Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and app. Its Digital Signal Processing (DSP) engine ensures studio-quality sound on both channels. Creators can adjust the DSP setting on each of the MV7i’s two channels independently.

Inspired by Shure’s SM7B, the MV7i’s design is complemented by a durable metal chassis. The microphone includes a built-in combo XLR and 1/4’’ input, enabling users to connect a second microphone or instrument with 60 dB gain and 48 V phantom power, compatible with both dynamic and condenser mics. The MV7i instantly detects input type and automatically selects and applies the appropriate DSP for the recording application.

Its USB-C output ensures compatibility with Mac, Windows, and select mobile devices, and is MFi certified for iPhone and iPad use. Additionally, the colour-customisable LED touch panel provides mute control and a dual-channel LED display for quick access, simplifying adjustments during recordings and livestreams.

Auto Level Mode automatically calibrates gain based on proximity, volume, and room dynamics. SmartGate works with Auto Level Mode to dynamically reduce the volume of a channel when either of the two users falls silent, minimising crosstalk and guaranteeing that concurrent conversations do not disrupt the separate audio streams. The Real-Time Denoiser actively reduces ambient noise. Digital Popper Stopper removes harsh plosive sounds to ensure clear audio without a physical pop screen. Adjustable Reverb enables users to select from three reverb types with customisable intensity.

The Motiv Mix app lets users customize the LED panel, access up to five multi-track recording and routing channels, and fine-tune settings like sound signature, gain, and more. At launch, users can leverage three output configurations: Mixdown Mode - combines microphone and mono input audio into one mono audio output; Multi-Track Mode - renders two separate mono audio tracks, one for the microphone and one for the XLR-1/4’’ input; and Stereo Mode - combines microphone and stereo input audio into one stereo audio track, preserving the stereo audio from the input and places mic input in both left and right channels (e.g., for voiceovers with stereo audio in the background).
