Shure MV7i Cardioid Dynamic Smart Microphone & Interface

The Shure MV7I is a recording centerpiece that combines a broadcasting-style dynamic microphone with an onboard USB audio interface. It gives creators a direct line from voice or instrument to computer, phone, or tablet without the clutter of external gear.

The microphone uses a cardioid pickup pattern and a dynamic capsule modeled after the famous SM7B, so spoken word stays clear while room noise stays out. Podcasters, streamers, voice over artists, and singers can lean in with confidence, knowing the capsule focuses on the source and resists background distractions.

On its rear panel, a combo XLR and 1/4-inch jack welcomes a second microphone or an instrument. The internal preamp supplies up to 60 dB of clean gain and offers 48-volt phantom power for condensers, which means you can handle everything from a quiet ribbon mic to an active DI box without an extra mixer.

The USB-C port streams 24-bit 48 kHz audio to popular recording or conferencing apps. A touch panel on the top surface controls mic gain, headphone volume, and mute, so adjustments stay quick and silent. Plug a pair of headphones into the 3.5 mm jack for zero-latency monitoring and stay locked in on every detail of a session.

When you want deeper control, the free MOTIV Mix app opens access to DSP presets, EQ, compression, and a personal monitor mix. Whether you are building a first podcast setup, packing a travel kit for remote interviews, or upgrading a home studio, the MV7I fits naturally into any workflow that values simplicity, reliability, and professional sound.
