gear review #33 - SHURE MV7 vs. MV7X Podcast Microphone Comparison Test

[@MeetKevon]

Went to a few videos to compare these 2 mics and honestly your video is the best. The comments also help me make a decision! Thank you :)

[@hartguitar]

Thx very much - always good to read, that my content helps people to find the right gear. 🙏🏻

[@hans-jochenwinkler6161]

thanks a lot that was what i was looking for! I needed a second shure mv7 mic for a podcast and liked the price of the X. will connect them via xlr to the rodecaster. so i will go for the X. thanks again!

[@hartguitar]

Good choice, they both sound awesome and the difference isn´t that big with 2 different hosts/voices. Maybe you'll use the X for the female or thinner voice and the 7 for male . . .

[@hans-jochenwinkler6161]

PS I installed the poppfilter of the older smb7. It is longer and has thicker walls - thus eliminating plosives much better - a huge sound difference much closer to the smb7

[@Entrenuages]

Thank you very much for the comparison. This is very useful!

[@hartguitar]

You‘re welcome and I‘m happy that I was able to help you! 😊

[@StefanGenov7]

Excellent review! MV7 is great choice for vast majorities people.

[@hartguitar]

Thx mate 🙏🏻

[@Anonymouspunjabi]

Which one you think would suit me better My voice is little thin and not very loud ? If that makes sense 😂

[@hartguitar]

As the X Sounds a bit rhicker, I‘d recommend this one. Or a real SM7 B.

[@lennyboyM]

Top review. I personally think for the most people the MV7X is completly enough and i think i will buy the MV7X. Do u have a reflink to support u?

[@hartguitar]

Thank you - don‘t have a link, doin‘ it just for fun 🤩

[@MusabTahaTarik]

Thank you. That was what i'm searching. I bought MV7 previous week and heard about MV7x only a couple hours ago :) totally surprised with the price & performance of MV7x. Maybe i can buy MV7x as my second mic for guests in my podcasting projects. But in this scenario I'll need an interface. Btw, which model do you use to mount on ?

[@hartguitar]

Thank you 🙏🏻 my mount is the rode psa-1

[@Reizeroworldnoyume]

What about the XLR Vs USB sound? I can only see two XLR sound test

[@hartguitar]

Thank you for your comment and you´re welcome to watch a free review . . . of course you´re right. This is just a test of the 2 XLR outputs - bacause, that´s what the two product have in common. You´ll be abel to find a ton of reviews regading XLR vs. USB of the MV7 on other channels. have a nice day!

[@bussyn5378]

btw for anyone wondering what a good cheap audio interface for the mv7x, my top two would be the wave xlr and goXLR mini, im going for the wave xlr as its newer, a lil bit cheaper and will power my dt 990 pro over exceedingly that im wondering to buy later on.

[@hartguitar]

The new Universal Audio USB Interfaces seem to be very good

[@matthewray5343]

MV7X is way too low mid heavy. You will be filtering out a lot of 150hz-300hz frequencies. The MV7 sounds mix ready out of the box.

[@hartguitar]

Thank you - do mean for speech, female/male vocals, rock, ballad . . . or just everything?

[@matthewray5343]

@@hartguitar good question. I'd say for male vocals. Be it spoken word, rock, rap or anything that is in the context of a busy mix and even just a podcast setting. I can see it (MV7X) being more flattering on a child or female vocals, something that needs that extra body but for most adult male voices, you are gonna filter out most of that low end in the end product.

@@matthewray5343 Great, thank you 🙏🏻
