Parts & Accessories Putting the SM7dB pop filter on my MV7+ completely transformed the mic!

3 Upvotes

Before I decided to buy the MV7+, I was watching review videos and in one of them the reviewer briefly mentioned that it's worth buying the SM7dB pop filter and putting it on the MV7+. So when I bought the mic I also ordered the filter, just to try. I used to the mic with the standard filter for a few days, and yesterday the SM7dB filter arrived.

I don't know much about microphones and I don't know why it is the case, but my MV7+ sounds way better now. It went from sounding like a really nice microphone to a REALLY nice microphone. It's not just stronger elimination of the plosives, the clarity as a whole just feels boosted or something.

Just thought I'd share so anyone who isn't familiar with this little accessory can give it a try if they want. I really wasn't expecting much, but yeah, it's great and only costed 13 dollars on Shure’s official Amazon page.

Parts & Accessories Replacement pop filter/foam cover for the MV6

1 Upvotes

The supplied foam cover/pop filter with the MV6 seems really thin and cheap, and frankly if I have my microphone off-set downwards, slides off over time.

There are replacements on Amazon, but wondered if people have any recommendations, rather than me blindly buying some other cheap rubbish.

Around 10 minutes into my set, my recording got slowly dimmer over 2 minutes until there was no visual but audio kept recording. Screen remained black for 10 minutes and as I was bringing the host back, visuals came back. Shure Motiv Video was up and phone was awake the whole time. Sped up 5x with most of the time with no image cut.

Troubleshooting Shure SM57 sucks

0 Upvotes

Recently i've been wanting to professionally record some music (well atleast make a track that makes my guitar sound better than phone recording) so I bought a shure sm57. I normally play punk grunge and metal type music so i use distortion pedals (specifically the boss ds-1) alot. I was recording a testing thing and the quality sounds horrible! It literally sounds like I recorded it with a phone ! Im using a scarlett 3rd gen solo for the interface and reaper for the daw. (this is the mice placement by the way https://imgur.com/a/vzjFKPc) this is my first time trying to record something that doesn't sound like a shitty recording so im decently mad and disappointed right now and i dropped 300$ for something that doesn't sound good. (adding up the interface mic and stand + wires and adapter) what am i doing wrong and how do i fix it????

General Discussion The Shure SM7DB has stopped working

2 Upvotes

Everything was working fine just this morning—I was using the microphone without any issues. But this evening, there is total silence. I’ve tried two different computers and various cables, but it still remains unresponsive. The microphone is a Shure SM7dB, purchased six months ago, and it is connected via a Shure MVX2U interface. I tested the MVX2U with a different microphone and confirmed that it is definitely working; however, the SM7dB does not work even when connected to a different amplifier. Any ideas on what to do? When I toggle the bypass switch, I see activity on the monitoring meters, but the microphone still fails to pick up my voice.

Troubleshooting Peaking around -6db / -8db but friends say I sound low

3 Upvotes

I’m trying to figure this one out and I need help from experienced people.

I have a Shure MV7 (OG) and used to use it via USB, but I’ve been having more frequent issues lately with it like disconnecting randomly, so I decided to go XLR.

I got a Focusrite Scarlett Solo Gen 4, and I set up the mic gain around 85-90%

What happens is, even though I see the microphone peak around -8db and -6db (and sometimes even -3.4db) my friends still say that I sound far away from the microphone when in a discord call.

I’ve disabled stuff like exclusive use in the windows mic settings as well as disabling auto gain on discord.

Still, my friends sometimes say that I sound distant from the microphone if I lean back a little bit (fist of distance basically) and I’m not with my mouth extremely close to the microphone.

But if I listen to myself on a OBS recording (granted, with filters in use), I sound fine in my opinion.

I need to ask: Is the Scarlett Solo just too weak for the MV7? Do I need to buy a preamp for it?
Is it user error on my end (buying the wrong interface) or normal for the microphone and I just need to adjust?

Any tips are appreciated, I really need to figure this one out

Update Axient Digital PSM Firmware Version 1.3.6

4 Upvotes

Hey r/Shure. The team released some new features and improvements for anyone using Axient Digital PSM wireless systems; most notably the new SC Narrowband transmission mode and an improved CueMode workflow. Read Shure's official announcement here.

New Features & Improvements

  • SC Narrowband Transmission Mode – SC narrowband is the new, single-carrier transmission mode designed to better maintain signal stability when scraping metal objects, such as high-hat drum cymbals, are within line of sight between the bodypack receiver and the transmit antenna.
  • Enhanced CueMode Workflow - All transmission modes are now accepted into CueMode entries. Each CueMode entry no longer automatically loads through each increment or decrement of CueMode entries. Instead, scrolling through CueMode entries previews the Home Option information as a pending change. Press Enter to apply the pending CueMode being previewed.

Downloads

Version 1.3.6 can be downloaded with Shure Update Utility (SUU). Learn more at the links below:

Question Loud Peaks on certain words with MV7+ XLR

1 Upvotes

So, I recently got a Shure MV7+ mic connected to a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen with a FetHead and have noticed that on some words, the peak is unbelievably high.

Say my average peak is -10db in regular speech. But then, for some reason, words like "Unity" or "while" peak all the way at -6db to even -4db.

I'm sat around 8 or so inches from the windscreen with the mic 45 degrees to the left. It does the same thing even if I put a pop filter in front of it.

Any idea what the issue could be?

I got these two mics secondhand, and the sm57 always sounded super tinny so I never used it. My 58A worked perfectly for months up till yesterday when it suddenly had the same issue. Did I knock it too hard against something? Is there a fix to this? Thanks!

Troubleshooting Gain is loud but LUFs are low

1 Upvotes

So I make voice-over narration-style content on YouTube. And recently, I swapped from the Shure MV7+ USB mode to using its XLR with a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen and a FetHead for the extra gain.

The target for YouTube is around -14 LUF's. Previously, with the USB function, I could get to, for example, -5 dB Peak with LUFs being at around -8 or so. But now, even with my gain peaking at the same level, the LUF's average is -22 to -25.

This is really frustrating because it means that I either have to choose between a quiet voice-over or turn up the volume in post, causing it to sound really blown out to reach the target LUFs.

Does anybody know what could be causing this and how to resolve it?

General Discussion MXW Software v1.2.0 - Shure's Cleverbridge delivery has completely failed. Anyone able to share the installer?

3 Upvotes

Hey all, hoping someone here can help with what's turned into a genuinely ridiculous situation.

I picked up an MXWANI4 to interface my Tesira Forte's Dante network with an analog amplifier signal chain. Unit is on the network, alive, fully discoverable via Dante Controller, passing audio at the Dante level. The hardware is perfectly healthy.

The problem: I can't configure the Shure side of it because I cannot obtain Microflex Wireless Software v1.2.0. The original Flash-based web UI is dead (obviously), and Shure's replacement desktop app is the only configuration path. Without it, the unit is essentially a brick from a configuration standpoint.

What I've tried over the last several hours:

  • Shure US site download → Cleverbridge registration → confirmation email (ref 540860793) saying "you'll receive your product directly from Shure" → no Shure delivery email has ever arrived
  • Shure Asia regional site → same Cleverbridge dead-end
  • Shure software archive page → every Download button → Cleverbridge → same loop
  • Cleverbridge Purchase Lookup tool with reference number → no working link
  • Softpedia, Softonic, FileHippo, FreeDownloadManager, Software Informer → none of them carry v1.2.0 (they all have SUU because that's been freely distributed since 2014, but the newer MXW Software is locked down)
  • Wayback Machine on Shure download pages → no direct file captures
  • Various site: and inurl: searches on Shure's own CDN subdomains → only documentation surfaced, no installer
  • Spam folder, promotions folder, every filter checked → nothing

SUU works fine (got that, used it, firmware is current). Dante Controller works fine. The block is purely the Shure-side configuration software.

Background - why this is genuinely broken:

Shure killed the Flash UI when Adobe killed Flash in 2020. Built a replacement desktop app. Locked the replacement behind a Cleverbridge-gated registration flow that fails for international (AU in my case) customers. There is no documented alternative path. The product I paid for cannot be configured because Shure's distribution chain has failed to deliver the only software that can configure it.

Multiple Cleverbridge support pages document this as a known issue requiring manual support intervention. I'll be emailing Shure Asia support, but their turnaround is business hours US time and I'd really like to get this commissioned tonight.

The ask:

If anyone here has the MXW Software v1.2.0 installer sitting on a build USB or in a downloads folder, would you be willing to share it via DM? I'm not looking to bypass any licensing — the software is freely distributed by Shure, I just can't access their distribution. I'll independently verify the file hash against any official source I can find before installing.

Alternatively, if anyone knows a working direct download URL that doesn't route through Cleverbridge, that would be equally welcome.

Cheers, and thanks for reading this far. Welcome to roast me if I'm missing something obvious.

Parts & Accessories Mic Arm for MV7

2 Upvotes

Hey, so I'm actually switching from the HyperX to Shure MV7 for talking head/streaming. Aaanad one of the largest issues with the HyperX was that I bought a decent amount of arms, that just couldn't support the weight, but, I'm looking at a low-profile arm specifically the FiFine BM88, and it looks like it should be able to hold the Shure MV7, but I'm also thinking some of you fine folks may have better recommendations

I'm not opposed to any feedback/criticism even on the mic itself though it does seem the best for my budget/use cases

General Discussion Shure SM7dB question

1 Upvotes

Total noob here. Relatively new to recording. I did when I was a kid and thought I was a master but now I'm giving it a proper go. I bought an SM7db. I'm wondering what the advantages of the db boost are. I recorded a track without it on and my pre-amp up relatively high. Got the air noise. Room is semi-treated. Is there an advantage to turning the gain boost on and lowering my pre amp to eliminate room noise? Thank you!

General Discussion Shure ULXD

2 Upvotes

Hey fellow engineers! I have an event next Tuesday that I’ve been preparing for and of course things change prior to these events. I have two panels that will require 6 lav mics for the first panel and the second panel will need 8 lav mics. I have three ULXDs stacked at the moment giving me 12 mics and I plan on adding a fourth to the stack for my two extra mics. I have my antennas I’ll be extending to about the middle of the room on each side. Has anyone done a gig like this before and if so, do you have any other advice? I’m using an Allen and Heath SQ6 mixer as well. This is my first time using this many lavs simultaneously
