Shure MV7 (2020)

The Shure MV7 is a dual-output dynamic broadcast microphone built for podcasters and streamers who want both plug-and-play and pro-audio paths. It exposes a USB Micro-B port for direct computer recording and a standard XLR output for an audio interface, and crucially both can run at the same time. A 3.5mm headphone jack provides real-time monitoring. Note the original 2020 MV7 uses Micro-B, not the USB-C found on the later MV7+ and MV7i.

Dynamic USB/XLR broadcast mic with simultaneous USB Micro-B and XLR outputs plus a 3.5mm headphone monitor jack.
