The MV7 Microphone The MV7 features a dynamic capsule with a cardioid pattern, which uses Voice Isolation Technology to pick up sound directly in front of the microphone. MV7 Outputs · Passive XLR output: Connect to XLR mixers and interfaces. Note: XLR audio is not affected by software settings. · 3.5mm monitor output: Connect to headphones and earphones · Micro-B USB: Use the included USB-A and USB-C cable to connect to your computer 5/19 Shure Incorporated Mounting Instructions The MV7 microphone comes equipped with a 5/8"-27 threaded mount, the thread size most commonly found on microphone stands. This mount can be used with a microphone stand or hung from a boom. Some stands may require an adapter, which is not provided. Note: Be very careful not to unloosen the screws all the way. To easily flip the microphone orientation, loosen the screws and rotate 180 degrees. Windscreen The windscreen offers maximum protection from plosives and creates a warmer, more intimate sound for speech applications, like podcasting and gaming. Auto Level Mode Use the following suggestions as a great starting point for your most common MV7 needs. Keep in mind that there are many effective ways to mic a voice. The closer you can get to the microphone, the better, but Auto Level Mode really helps to get you sounding your best. Experiment to find which mic placement works best for you. 6/19 Near Shure Incorporated For podcast and voice recording applications. Position the MV7 in front of and as close to your face as possible. Speak directly into the mic, 1-6 inches (2.54 - 15 cm) away for a more intimate voice sound with maximum rejection of off-axis sounds. Speaking closer to the microphone results in more bass response, similar to voices on a radio broadcast. Make additional gain adjustments if necessary. Far Ideal when the sound source is further from the microphone, like in gaming when the person needs to be closer to the screen or gaming console. Aim the microphone directly at the sound source. Place the microphone 6 to 18 inches (15 to 45 cm) away from the sound source. Make additional gain adjustments if necessary. Tip: Because the MV7 is highly directional, ensure that the microphone is directly pointed towards the source. If possible, experiment with mic placement to find where it sounds best. Make additional gain adjustments as necessary. 7/19 Shure Incorporated Additional Tips Shure offers educational articles and publications on recording techniques for a variety of instruments and applications.

Each side uses one thin gray spring washer, one shiny silver brass washer, two black plastic washers and the yoke and threaded yoke knob. 1. Start with the threaded knob flat side down on your tabletop. 2. Stack the washers on the threaded knob. Place a black plastic washer on the knob. Place one side of the yoke on next. Then put the second black plastic washer on. Place the flat silver washer and then the thin spring washer on the threaded knob. 3. Using your finger to hold the screw assembly in place, slide the MV7 onto the threaded screw and turn the knob to keep washers in place. Note: Be sure to keep this side on but loose so that you have room to easily move the yoke and assemble the washers on the opposite side. 4. On the opposite yoke arm, place the washers into the side of the MV7 in reverse order. Thinspringwasher > Flatsilverwasher > Blackplasticwasher > Yokearm 5. The yoke arm needs to be placed directly onto the stack of washers. To ensure that the washers are aligned, put a pen through the yoke and washers to make sure that everything is properly centered. Leave pen in place. 6. Place the second black plastic washer onto the remaining threaded knob. 7. Remove the pen. Insert the threaded knob and black plastic washer into the stacked washers and tighten both sides to ensure that your microphone is stable. 16/19 Shure Incorporated Accessories Furnished Accessories 10 foot Micro-B to USB-A cable 10 foot Micro-B to USB-C cable Replacement Parts Black Windscreen Silver Windscreen Optional Accessories 1 m Lightning cable 95A45110 95B38076 AMV7-K-WS AMV7-S-WS AMV-LTG Certifications Information to the user This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
