Answering the needs of today’s creators, the MV7i enables users to directly connect a second XLR microphone of their choice or musical instrument (keyboard, guitar, etc.), eliminating the need for an external hardware interface.
Today, Shure announced the MV7i Smart Microphone and Interface at CES 2025. Featuring a world-first and patented technology, the MV7i sets a new standard of versatility and ease-of-use for podcasters, musicians, and streamers who require two channels of recording.
Designed to simplify the way creators record audio, the MV7i offers the same unmatched audio quality as the award-winning MV7+ – complete with onboard DSP and MOTIV Mix™ desktop and MOTIV mobile app integration. “Whether they’re recording a podcast with a guest or tracking vocals and instruments simultaneously in their home studio, creators need technology that simplifies their workflow and makes capturing audio seamless,” says Eduardo Valdes, AVP of Global Marketing and Product Management, at Shure. “The MV7i delivers the same renowned sound signature as the celebrated MV7+ and streamlines the creative process, saving creators from additional expenses and the hassle of confusing setups so they can focus on their craft and push boundaries, while we handle the technology.

MV7i Smart Microphone
Engineered for seamless two-channel recording, the MV7i supports diverse creative needs, from podcasting with a guest to recording vocals and instruments. The built-in interface lets users seamlessly connect a second microphone or instrument directly into the MV7i, and then control both channels of audio either in the MOTIV apps through a computer or phone or with any Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and app. Its powerful, built-in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) engine ensures studio-quality sound on both channels, minimizing production setup. Creators can adjust the DSP setting on each of the MV7i’s two channels independently.
Inspired by Shure’s iconic SM7B, the MV7i’s design is complemented by a durable metal chassis, ensuring longevity and reliability. The microphone includes a built-in combo XLR and ¼” input, enabling users to connect a second microphone or instrument with 60dB gain and 48V phantom power, compatible with both dynamic and condenser mics. The MV7i instantly detects input type and automatically selects and applies the appropriate DSP for the recording application. Its USB-C output ensures broad compatibility with Mac, Windows, and select mobile devices, and is MFi certified for iPhone and iPad use. Additionally, the color-customizable LED touch panel provides intuitive mute control and a dual-channel LED display for quick, at-a-glance access, simplifying adjustments during recordings and livestreams. The MV7i is compatible with your favorite Digital Audio Workstation and streaming platform.
