Shure MV7+ XLR / USB-C Dynamic Podcast Microphone w/ LED Touch Panel (Black)
The Shure MV7+ is a high-quality XLR dynamic cardioid microphone designed for podcasters, streamers, musicians and content creators who want to level up their audio quality for podcasting, interviews, livestreams and online radio shows. This podcast microphone builds on the popular Shure MV7 with USB-C connectivity, built-in digital pop-filtering, real-time noise reduction and a customisable LED touch panel.
With USB-C, the MV7+ can connect directly to a computer or smartphone, or use the XLR output with an audio interface or mixer for more flexibility. It also has a 3.5mm headphone output for real-time monitoring of your input signal while recording.
Clearer Voice Recordings with Less Editing
Voice Isolation Technology helps keep your voice at the centre of the recording while reducing distracting room sound. When connected via USB-C, the improved Auto Level Mode automatically adjusts the gain according to your distance and speaking volume, helping maintain more consistent levels when you move around or speak louder.
The built-in Digital Popper Stopperâ„¢ reduces harsh plosive sounds, while the real-time Denoiser helps control background noise, reducing the amount of cleanup required after recording. The Shure MV7+ was built for home studios, podcasts, livestreams and spoken-word content.
What Makes the Shure MV7+ Different from the MV7?
The MV7+ modernises the MV7’s design with USB-C in place of Micro-USB, an improved Auto Level Mode, real-time Denoiser, Digital Popper Stopperâ„¢ and three adjustable reverb effects. It also introduces a larger LED touch panel that works as a live audio meter and provides instant tap-to-mute control.
Using the free MOTIV Mixâ„¢ desktop app or compatible MOTIV mobile apps, you can adjust gain, EQ, compression, tone and other processing settings. The LED panel can also be personalised with millions of colour combinations to complement a streaming or video setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Shure MV7+ better than the original Shure MV7?
The MV7+ improves on the MV7 with updated USB-C connectivity, enhanced Auto Level Mode, real-time noise reduction, digital plosive control, reverb effects and a customisable LED touch panel. The original MV7 is still highly capable on its own, but the MV7+ is the more convenient option for creators recording via USB.
Should I use the Shure MV7+ through USB-C or XLR?
USB-C is the simplest option and provides access to the microphone’s app-controlled DSP features. XLR is better suited to an existing studio setup with an audio interface or mixer. Having both connections means you can begin with USB and move to an XLR workflow later if you buy an audio interface/mixer.
Does the Shure MV7+ work well in an untreated room?
Yes, because it uses a dynamic cardioid design and Voice Isolation Technology, this helps reduce unwanted room sound compared with more sensitive microphones. The real-time Denoiser can also control steady ambient noise when recording through USB.
Do I need an audio interface?
No. The MV7+ can connect directly to a compatible computer or mobile device through USB-C for simple streaming setups. You only need an audio interface if you choose to use its XLR output for professional audio signal processing control and vocal recordings.
Do I still need a physical pop filter?
No, you do not need an additional pop filter since the Digital Popper Stopperâ„¢ is designed to reduce plosive sounds when using the microphone through USB.
Is the Shure MV7+ suitable for streaming and voice-over work?
Yes. Its focused dynamic pickup, tap-to-mute control, live LED metering and automatic level adjustment make it well suited to livestreaming, voice-over, video calls and podcast production. The XLR output also allows it to integrate into a more advanced studio setup with an audio interface.
