I own both, and the SM7B has its own tone compared to the 57/58, not just a slight difference in frequency response. Its probably from the larger capsule. It’s much smoother and full bodied than the 58, which has a thinner, harder sound in the mids. When I’ve recorded both for studio vocals, I pick the SM7B every time unless I’m going for a more Lo-fi sound.
@MrMoviePhoneEx3 жыл бұрын
@@DannyKavka agreed! And way better low end! The 58/57 were designed for live play but have worked great in all kinds of recording for years with their punchy mids! That said neither can touch the warmth and character of the SM7B once you get in the lower ranges, and the SM7B has a roundness throughout does make it significantly smoother.
@DJSkandalous3 жыл бұрын
If I didn't already have the SM7B and a mixer, I would definitely buy the MV7. It seems like a definite upgrade over the Yetti and other comparable mics in that price range. The 250 price tag is where it may hurt them. It's too bad they didn't try to place it around the 150-200 range. I would see this as a stop gap between the two if you are not ready or can't afford a XLR interface/mixer. The Mic sounds great and the app seems good. Yetti I would say still has a edge in relation to proximity. If you are one of those streamers that doesn't want to be really close to the mic and just want it on your desk or something Yetti shines there.

@BLACKSYNTH3 жыл бұрын
I think they sound similar depending on mic placement instead of all things being equal. the mv7 seems more sensitive to distance and maybe has more side rejection making it quickly thin out depending on mic technique so best used up close (like Joe rogan does) and it sounds more like the sm7b does at a few inches away, as for the explosives, a small pop filter or up close and off axis and it’s gonna be very similar. The mv7 has more midrange detail, but maybe your sm7b needs a cloud lifter in between? Great video!

MV7 is a great budget option, has a great sound profile similar to the SM7B, but I can't say I'd ever replace an SM7B with an MV7 in most environments. The MV7 capsule is much more sensitive, worse acoustic isolation, etc. This is good in one sense, as it takes WAY less gain to drive an MV7, maybe 55db or more should be good, and this I think also contributes to it consistency compared to the SM7B. However, I find the MV7 sounds more "USB mic"-ey to me for the same reason. It does sound better with the XLR output and a good preamp, though. I use my SM7B for pretty much everything, it just sounds more musical and rich, almost saturated. But if you did a little pultec punch on an MV7, I think an untrained listener would have a hard time distinguishing them.
@dsakurai Жыл бұрын
One thing not mentioned in this review is how each microphone deals with handling noises and I have both SM7B and MV7, and SM7B handles it way way way better than MV7. I do live streams and moving the mic gets really loud on MV7 and it's pretty much a major pain point for me.

SMB7 has more variety in sound and would be better for loud singing considering it's SPL difference; MV7 seems better price wise and with EQ just for general podcasting or streaming I think that price difference makes it the better package value wise. So unless you don't really care about price I would say the MV7 is the better value overall.

On the flip side, unless you are traveling and want to save the space, if you already have the SM7b there’s no real reason to get the mv7 to start with. Also, and this is an important miss in your review, the SM7b is built like a tank that will last forever, but it requires (in most cases) a gain exciter of some form to get proper levels without cranking your interface - second nature to everyone that owns one, but it does increase the asking price from $399 to at least $499 for something decent - I personally use the Se Dynamite :) Anyway, it’s a pain point of using the classic that isn’t there with the mv7 - which seems to be 90% of the performance at half the cost, but the SM7b won’t be going down in value anytime soon either ;)
