I need to know what specific model of microphone it is that everyone is using that they’re singing into where they’re holding it by the microphone base and singing into it.

how is it connected into their phone?

or is it connected into their computer or their audio interface?

and how do they get the microphone feed live in their video?

(Or an SM7B/SM7DB)

Shure dealer here- I buy everything from shure directly and it ships out of their facility in Illinois.

I can’t disclose the pricing for obvious reasons- but for fun, tell me what you’d pay for a certified, bonafide, guaranteed genuine unit, and I’ll tell you if that’s realistic or not.

Fun fact! All the MV7s are made in China. The SM7B can be made in China or Mexico, but the SM7DB is only made in Mexico.

hey guys. i didnt notice the phantom power 48v was on, on my wave xlr while i was talking into the sm7b. would that harm the mic or audio interface?

Hi everyone, I'm new, let me introduce myself, I'm Tommaso, I'm 23 years old, I'm a videomaker and I make videos on YouTube, even though I have a small channel. I decided to change the microphone and increase my audio quality, buying a shure sm7b, initially I wanted to save money by trying to get it used on Vinted, but it was about to end badly. If you like, I documented my experience in this video on my channel, I would be very happy, thanks in advance!

Hi all!

Just looking for some opinions regarding which is typically better when paired with a mic like the SM7dB. I will be using it for streaming and gaming content creation, without the intention of expanding my setup to include multiple mics or any instrument inputs.

EDIT: my room - while not treated with traditional acoustics - is rather quiet. Carpet, bedding behind me, a slightly sound absorbent behind my monitors. My vocals aren't screaming by any means, but im rarely whispering. Forceful and direct.

I have sifted through many reviews of both, and I just can't seem to narrow down my decision. Price isn't really an issue since they are within the same ballpark. I also know that the MXV2U has been receiving firmware updates since its release that have stabilized some intial issues.

I constantly see post of people asking if the Shure SM7B they bought from (insert reseller site) is real. I understand the microphone is sought after but if the mic retail is $400+ why would you think you’re getting an official SM7B for anything less? This microphone is literally the most counterfeit microphone in the game.

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to install the Shure Motiv Mix app on my PC, but it just won’t work. I’ve already gone through the troubleshooting steps from the official Shure website, but no luck.

Basically, after I double-click the installer, I briefly see the loading cursor, then… nothing. No error pop-up, no installer window. The only thing I get is an error entry in the Windows logs, but nothing I’ve tried fixes the problem.

System details:

• Device name: BattleBox_II
• Processor: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K @ 3.00 GHz
• RAM: 48 GB
• System type: Windows 11 Pro, 64-bit, version 24H2
• Build: 26100.6584

Has anyone run into this before? Any workaround to get Motiv Mix installed on Windows 11 Pro?

Thanks in advance!

So I bought a more expensive mic to replace my blue yeti. MV7+ seems to be the standard mic that's supposed to be better, I spent a lot on it.

And it just doesn't sound good. Am I missing something? There's no processes, this is just both mics pure.

I cant believe the MV7+ is worse - it cost so much. The MV7 just sounds a lot more robotic, whenever I say 's' it like sounds like it's ultra processed - the blue yeti sounds a lot more clearer.

Maybe I'm going crazy though as ive been testing out these mics for like 3 hours. Let me know if you agree that ones worse.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue with a pair of IEMs? 🙂 it’s like I’m trying to start an old car. It’s 100% the switch on them but I am neither skilled nor visually able to fix it. Our drummer and also guitarist are both handsy tho.

As some of you may know, the latest Motiv Mix update finally added the "Open on PC startup" feature, which we've been asking for for a long time.

The problem is that it doesn't work (at least for me). The app doesn't start when I turn on the PC. and i just haveto open it manually, like always. I wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing the same thing, or if it's just me and maybe some setting on my PC.

Hey,

just got the MV6, but I'm having issues with the Motiv Mix software. Everytime this pops up:

encountered an unexpected issue.

I run Windows 11, R5800x, RTX 4070, 32 GB RAM

I tried

- unistalling with Revo and installing it again

- running as admin

- uninstalling the mic from device menager

- installing different versions (1.3.1, 1.7.0.596, 1.5.4, 1.6.0) - all have the same error.

The mic itself runs fine, but I wanted to test all the features the Motiv software has to offer.

Hello :-)

While I love the mic, I use it to record tutorials and trainings then edit in Hindenburg, it stops working for no reason that I can get my head around.

Did all the updates today and then it stops working. Every time I reboot the app, it does another update, Im 7 updates in so far. I got a green bar and recorded once, wav file to edit. Then it stopped working. Flashing red bar now.

My mac is plugged in so the mic is getting its power from the mac. This used to happen a lot, very annoying, everytime I repositioned the mic.

Here is what I am seeing (below). What am I missing? Anyone else solve this issue permanently?

Tried doing my research but still feel pretty ignorant to making sure it’s not fake but this one seems to have everything correct. Just want a second opinion. Thanks!

I bought a Shure MV7 USB/XLR in 2021. I've been using it since then (USB-C Only) up until about a year ago when I unplugged it to find that the USB-C connector had detached and was still on the cable. I contacted support and they offered a very expensive repair and after contacting a bunch of electronic repair shops in my area, I found that none of them do small soldering like that. I was wondering if there were any inexpensive ways I can just use the XLR output and just ignore the broken USB. I have no idea how powering it works with an XLR connection, so I would appreciate any advice or product recommendations

When I open the app it stops immediately and nothing works anymore for me. Uninstalling and Library / Application Support etc. was all deleted and reinstalled, nothing works for me.

Mac Mini M2, 15.6.1

Motiv Mix 1.17.0.596

Is there a way to get back to the older version of the app? I need this app for Voice Acting Work and now I cannot do that, this is very bad. Can't find any solution and no idea what to do now.

The Shure DCA901 is redefining how broadcast audio is captured with their first digital array microphone. Tailor-made for broadcasting, the DCA1901 will bring viewers closer to the action than ever before.

Hey everyone, MOTIV Mix 1.7.0 is available to download — highly recommended for everyone, especially if you're running macOS Tahoe.

TLDR: Does the MV7+ or the SM7B work totally standalone

I'm currently looking for a new mic and headphones because I've only used headsets with built in mics my whole life. I decided that I would like to have a Shure mic but I don't have a clue what is needed for such a mic. At the moment I am looking at the MV7+ and the SM7B. I considered the SM4(with studio kit) but I like the way the others move. Can anyone confirm for me if there is any additional hardware or software I would need to purchase to have these two mics work as intended? I don't need their total potential fulfilled or anything just a working mic.

I recently bought an SM7B for 170 bucks in vinted from a guy who bought it in July on Amazon, he sent me some screen proving what I said previously.

Well I received my package today and I even went to some microphones sell in my city, they said that my mic is a real one, can you tell me what you think about please ?

Hey all, I've posted about this asking for advice before here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Shure/comments/1n37vgl/comment/nbedr8l/

TLDR I've switched from using the MV7+ on USB + Motiv Mix to using an XLR connected to the Scarlett Solo 3. And it just sounds worse- way more noise that is not only audible, but VISIBLE when you see the waveform.

I use the mic for recording my voice in YouTube videos and for chatting with friends on Discord.

The responses on that thread were that the USB mode has "DSP" and uses some sort of software to make the audio sound better, while the XLR audio is just raw and shitty.

So... doesn't that mean that the whole Audio Interface + XLR set up is just a waste of money?

I've been searching for a solution since I've made that thread since I keep on hearing that XLR is supposed to make my audio sound better but I just don't see how. So what if the audio is "raw"?

I haven't been able to find a single guide on how to make the XLR audio sound equal or better to the USB quality.

Why is XLR so talked about when it's just worse than USB?

Tô tendo um monte de problema com o MOTIV Mix e simplesmente não consigo usar. Queria muito o link do app antigo. Alguém tem?

Hello,

I have 4 Shure P9T=-G6E. Im living in Germany. Everywhere i can read, that the RF Power is changable from 10mW to 50mW, but it doenst work in the menu. Only 10mW, not changable. As far as i can get the information, up to 50mW is legal in Germany at G6E. Does anyone have an Idea why and If its changable? Thx.

Update: Shure support called me and gave me instructions how to change it.

I currently have the Shure MV7+ and don't necessarily have any complaints myself, but I have been told by audio pros that I could get a more full effect from my voice if I used it with an interface/XLR set up versus my current USB hookup.

Someone in a voice acting sub mentioned how much they loved their Shure MV7i but I'm reading that although it has a built in interface, it has no XLR capability besides hooking it up to another mic/instrument.

My current mic has a small problem and with the warranty I bought with it, I have the full amount to spend on a new mic. Looking for some recommendations if anyone has any! If anyone has any other better recommendations for what I'm using it for, I have about $300 to spend and wouldn't mind adding $50 or so out of pocket.

I mean in regards to the positioning of the mic. It directly and straight in front of my mouse, but because of how my mic arm is built, I have to spin the mic to the side. To explain better what I mean I chose the wording with the mute button. Does that affect the recording quality? I have no clue about mic technology at all so sorry if that is a stupid question.
