Shure MV7 USB & XLR Microphone Review
In today’s episode, we have a detailed look and listen to the SHURE MV7 podcast microphone. This USB/XLR hybrid microphone uses a dynamic design which is a great fit for recording at home or in other spaces without acoustical treatment. It sounds great when you connect to your computer or mobile device via USB and comes with an app which allows you to fine-tune the sound for your situation, even if you don’t know a lot about sound. But if you are more of a soundie, it also allows you to set some basic EQ settings, a limiter, and a compressor to even things out and increase the overall level of your audio.

Voice Technologies Waterproof Pro Lavaliers - VT500 & 403WA Microphones
In today’s episode, we have a look at and listen to the Voice Technologies VT500WA and VT403WA. These professional level microphones have a major advantage over most others - they are waterproof with IPX 7 certification meaning they can withstand being under water at up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. So if you’re filming around water, these may be a good option for you. The non-waterproof version of the VT-500 has been a staple in my kit for the last 3 years and is holding up great!
