In today's episode, we will talk about the Shure MVX2u, a game-changing solution for podcasters who want to take their Shure SM7B microphone on the road.
You know, we've all had that moment where we dream of being the next Joe Rogan, but then reality hits us when we realize the hassle of bringing our equipment with us. The SM7B requires a significant amount of gain to get that crystal-clear signal. But fear not, my friends, because Shure has come to the rescue with their new tool, the Sure MVX2u.
This XLR to USB digital interface is a game-changer. With its headphone jack, integrated preamp offering 60 decibels of gain, zero-latency monitoring, and even 48 volts Phantom Power, it has everything you need to elevate your podcasting experience.
But here's the best part: the MVX2u works seamlessly with the Sure Plus desktop software. This allows you to customize your sound and save your settings directly onto the USB device. So, even when you're on the road without your computer, your perfect sound is just a click away.
Now, you may be wondering if this is the first time Shure has released such a device. They had the X2U with a micro USB interface before, but the MVX2u takes it to a whole new level. And at just $129, it's a steal. In fact, if you were thinking of getting the Fet head to boost the gain, which only offers 20 decibels of gain for $99, I would highly recommend going for the MVX2u instead. Its 60 decibels of gain essentially turns your SM7B into a USB microphone.
And while we're on the topic of recommendations, I have to share my go-to place for purchasing gear: Sweetwater. Not only do they offer financing options if you prefer spreading out your payments, but they also add an extra year of warranty to every purchase. Plus, they even include some sweet candy in the box to make your day a little brighter.
So, if you're a podcaster looking to elevate your audio quality and take your Shure SM7B on the road hassle-free, the Shure MVX2u might be the perfect solution for you. Head over to our website, bestpodcastinggear.com, for more information. And remember, I'm Dave Jackson from the School of Podcasting.com, here to help podcasters like you sound their best. Let's get started!
0:00 You bought a sure s m 7 b because, well, you wanted to be Joe Rogan, and now it's dawned on you that anytime you go on the road, you gotta bring a sir with you. And this thing needs a ton of gain to really get a good signal. Today, I've got a solution. Welcome to best podcasting gear where we help you sound like a million bucks. without spending a million bucks. I'm Dave Jackson from the school of podcasting.com. And sure, has come up, they're known for their microphones. In fact, the Shore s m 7 b is the same company.
0:41 And they came out with a new tool called the Sure MVX2. You'll have links in the show description It's an XLR to USB Digital interface with a headphone jack and the integrated preamp has 60 decibels of gain. There's 0 latency monitoring. And if he needed more, 48 volts Phantom Power. And what's really cool about this is this works with the desktop software called Sure Plus that enables you to dial in the sound you want and then save it in the USB device. So if you then, again, go on the road and you're like, oh, I don't have my computer. It's at home, whatever. Your settings are saved in the USB device. Now this is not the first time that Shore has offered something like this.
1:39 They had the X2U that has a micro USB interface, and this is the MVX 2 u. And this goes for a $129. And if you're like, I'm not sure about that, well, normally if you're going to get the Fed head, for boosting the gain, which is only 20 decibels of gain, that is 99. So at this point, I would say go ahead and get the Sure MVX 2u and then you have that 60 decibels of gain, and it turns it into a USB microphone. It's pretty slick. And I always recommend buying things at Sweetwater. It's going for 129 as I record this.
2:30 And, of course, the nice thing about Sweetwater is they do offer financing. If for some reason you wanna break this into payments, but also they automatically add on another year of warranty to everything you buy. And if there's more that you need They send candy in the box when they ship it to you. I love sweet water. And when I heard this and the fact that it works with the software, I could see people that have bought a Suresm7b or whatever mic you're using, and it just needs a little boost in the game department. This could be a great solution. For more information, check out our website, best podcasting gear.com. I'm Dave Jackson from the School of podcasting.com I help podcasters, it's what I do.
