Voice Isolation for Close Recording

A directional dynamic capsule and cardioid pattern concentrate pickup toward the front of the microphone. That makes the microphone useful for a spoken-word position at a podcast or streaming desk. Bring it toward the speaker and adjust its angle before setting the level, using the combination of close placement and directional pickup to put the voice at the center of the recording.

Choose USB or an XLR Recording Chain

The MV7+ provides USB-C digital and passive XLR analog outputs. Connect directly to a compatible computer or mobile device through USB-C, or use the XLR connection with a microphone interface or mixer. Software processing applies to the digital path and does not change the passive XLR output, letting you choose the signal chain appropriate to the recording session.

Automatic Level or Detailed Control

The digital feature set includes Auto Level, Real-time Denoiser, Digital Popper Stopper, a tone slider, reverb, compression, limiting and a high-pass filter. Use the supported MOTIV software to choose the processing that fits the room and recording task. These tools provide options for managing levels and background sound while keeping the microphone setup compact.

Hear the Recording as You Work

The 3.5 mm headphone output lets you monitor the microphone directly, while the digital path supports recording up to 24-bit at 48 kHz. A customizable LED touch panel provides a visible control surface and touch-to-mute operation. Pair the microphone with headphones and supported software so you can check the result as you speak or record.

An Adjustable Mount for Your Desk

The all-metal microphone body is held by an adjustable yoke that mounts on a suitable microphone stand or boom arm. The 5/8-27 mounting thread provides a familiar studio connection, with the supplied adapter supporting another common thread size where included. Find the speaking position before tightening the yoke and leave room for the cable at the rear of the microphone.
