Why Choose the MV7

• Combines the simplicity of USB with the flexibility of XLR.

• Delivers pro-quality sound with minimal setup.

• Built-in DSP helps achieve consistent vocal quality across different environments.

• Touch panel provides fast, intuitive control over key settings.

• Suitable for podcasting, streaming, home studio vocals, and remote work.

Considerations

• Uses a micro-USB port, which may be less durable than USB-C in frequent-movement setups.

• Most advanced features (like Auto Level Mode and EQ) are only accessible via USB and the MOTIV app.

• Best suited for close-mic positioning—audio quality drops with increased distance.
