Saramonic SR-MV7000 USB /XLR podcast microphone

The condenser microphone

Saramonic SR-MV7000 with USB/XLR connector is a dedicated device for podcasts, conferences, radio interviews, and live broadcasts on social media. A great alternative also for gamers as well as professional studio solutions.

The SR-MV7000 is both a condenser microphone with a XLR and USB connector, which is ideal for live performances in conjunction with a computer and will also be compatible with most devices with a USB-C connector. The XLR connector allows connections to professional mixers providing additional Phantom power (+48V).

Infinite possibilities

It has two output solutions to choose from. The first is a 5-pin XLR output socket with 5-pin XLR to two XLR male cables included, which can be used to connect to professional audio mixers. The USB-C and USB-A output socket will be used to connect the microphone to computers and other USB-C devices such as smartphones and tablets.

Microphone functions

The microphone can be customised for any type of use. Among the four switches, the characteristics are:

• Cardioid - so that the microphone picks up sound mainly from the front of the microphone (podcasts, instrument recording, live streaming).
• Directional - where the microphone picks up sound from all around the microphone (conferences, podcasts, discussions).
• Stereophonic - captures sounds from the entire microphone environment, splitting the direction of the sound signal (recording ensembles or dialogues).
• Bidirectional - captures sounds directly from the front of the microphone (directional podcasts, radio dialogues).

Mounts

The MV7000 includes a desk stand that allows the microphone to be positioned at the correct angle to the caller. The microphone also includes a 5/8 female thread on the bottom of the microphone unit, providing mounting on photo and microphone stands.

Pop filter

An additional feature included in the kit is a pop filter, which is designed to reduce hard voices when talking or singing. This is a professional solution for using the microphone in home and studio settings.
