WEBVTT 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:03.540 Hi everyone, this is going to be really strange 00:00:03.540 --> 00:00:06.419 because I have no guests today. But we have a 00:00:06.419 --> 00:00:09.580 new series and it's called Mic Drop. So the Chris 00:00:09.580 --> 00:00:12.240 Hansen Conversation will be whenever we have 00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:15.560 the opportunity, that is, to take a look at new 00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:18.399 microphones or new equipment that come around 00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:22.059 and if it lands in our laps, which we do happen 00:00:22.059 --> 00:00:23.940 to have one, it just landed in our lap today, 00:00:24.059 --> 00:00:28.320 to give you a review from a layperson's perspective. 00:00:28.699 --> 00:00:32.880 And today... We have, from the good people, Shure 00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:37.259 Asia and, thank you very much once again, E &E 00:00:37.259 --> 00:00:40.100 Private Limited. We are going to review this 00:00:40.100 --> 00:00:45.259 latest. It's so brand new. No one else has it 00:00:45.259 --> 00:00:48.880 in hand right now except us. That's right. And 00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:53.250 it's a new Shure MV7i. You know, it's so brand 00:00:53.250 --> 00:00:55.689 new, I have not even taken it out of the box. 00:00:55.810 --> 00:00:58.530 You can see the tape is still on. So I'm going 00:00:58.530 --> 00:01:01.429 to remove this tape first and then take this 00:01:01.429 --> 00:01:07.689 guy out of the box. There you go. Okay. Now let's 00:01:07.689 --> 00:01:25.030 see what this is all about. And then... Usual 00:01:25.030 --> 00:01:28.750 stuff. I get so turned on when I see a Shrek. 00:01:29.629 --> 00:01:34.590 He's got a great quick start guide. As you can 00:01:34.590 --> 00:01:40.010 see. Here you go. Always comes in really nifty 00:01:40.010 --> 00:01:54.230 and handy. So, taking out the microphone. Okay, 00:01:54.230 --> 00:02:00.329 so I guess Shure decided to keep its design across 00:02:00.329 --> 00:02:04.709 the board. You can see this. This is the same 00:02:04.709 --> 00:02:08.870 design as you can find on all the MV or SM series 00:02:08.870 --> 00:02:12.770 of Shure microphones for podcasters. It's pretty 00:02:12.770 --> 00:02:17.210 cool still. I love the look anyway. Okay, if 00:02:17.210 --> 00:02:23.289 you take a look at the back of this. This is 00:02:23.289 --> 00:02:26.750 a little different. Usual, you can stick in your 00:02:26.750 --> 00:02:29.770 headphones, your cans can go in here, and then 00:02:29.770 --> 00:02:33.349 you've got this input. Now, what's interesting 00:02:33.349 --> 00:02:36.949 about this is that your XLR can be connected 00:02:36.949 --> 00:02:40.590 here, it's an input, or a TRS jack it seems. 00:02:40.889 --> 00:02:46.050 And then, yep, you've got an output, USB -C output 00:02:46.050 --> 00:02:49.509 that goes into your computer, your laptop, or 00:02:49.509 --> 00:02:52.900 even your mobile device. which means you can 00:02:52.900 --> 00:02:55.960 use it on your mobile phone, you can use it on 00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:58.280 your iPad, you can use it on tablets, you can 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:02.180 use it on laptops. So we're going to check this 00:03:02.180 --> 00:03:04.819 out right now and see how this baby works. Okay, 00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:09.520 what came in the box is a USB -C to USB -C cable. 00:03:10.060 --> 00:03:12.020 So the connector is here. We've just connected 00:03:12.020 --> 00:03:15.620 it into a mobile phone, and that is to Kairou's 00:03:15.620 --> 00:03:19.469 mobile phone, and onto the Motif Mix app. The 00:03:19.469 --> 00:03:22.310 Motive Mix app is really, really nifty. I mean, 00:03:22.310 --> 00:03:24.210 you can do lots of stuff with that. And take 00:03:24.210 --> 00:03:28.610 a look at that. Take a look at the glow on the 00:03:28.610 --> 00:03:32.750 top of the MV7i, man. I mean, this is just so 00:03:32.750 --> 00:03:36.669 awesome. Wow. This is the coolest thing that 00:03:36.669 --> 00:03:38.530 I'm sure you ever came up with, I can tell you 00:03:38.530 --> 00:03:41.270 that much. And it's so cool because there's so 00:03:41.270 --> 00:03:43.069 much you can do. You can see I've got my cans 00:03:43.069 --> 00:03:48.560 on and my cans are connected directly. to this 00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:52.300 mic and it's there's an audio believe it or not 00:03:52.300 --> 00:03:57.800 an audio interface built in to this microphone 00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.620 which means there's so much i can do i mean i 00:04:00.620 --> 00:04:03.599 don't need to worry about buying another audio 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.500 interface or buying a mixer board i can just 00:04:06.500 --> 00:04:10.699 use this mic and pretty soon i'm going to show 00:04:10.699 --> 00:04:13.319 you how we're going to connect this mic to another 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:17.339 mic so you have the power of two mics without 00:04:17.339 --> 00:04:21.920 any worries okay as you can see on the screen 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:25.860 we've got uh two mics hooked up right now we 00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:29.519 have xlr to xlr so basically what's happening 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:34.899 is is that this guy this mic which is an mv7 00:04:34.899 --> 00:04:42.259 is now connected by xlr to the new mv7i and at 00:04:42.259 --> 00:04:46.360 the same time the output goes to a mobile phone 00:04:46.730 --> 00:04:50.790 which has a Motive Mix app. And we are now recording 00:04:50.790 --> 00:04:54.110 it on that app. So that's one cool thing you 00:04:54.110 --> 00:04:56.589 can do on the go. I think that if you end up 00:04:56.589 --> 00:05:00.709 outdoors, outside even, because what the MV7i 00:05:00.709 --> 00:05:05.670 does with its smart technology built inside it, 00:05:05.730 --> 00:05:10.629 it has this thing called DSP. You don't have 00:05:10.629 --> 00:05:13.569 to worry about pop filters anymore because it 00:05:13.569 --> 00:05:17.560 eliminates a popping sound. It eliminates stuff 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.759 like ambient noise or you've got a fan blade 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.160 turning. It doesn't pick up. It is absolutely 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:26.860 silent. So this bodes well, especially when it 00:05:26.860 --> 00:05:30.959 comes to post -production. It eliminates post 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.160 -production actually. If not, it's just going 00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:34.939 to be very little for you to do. So it's going 00:05:34.939 --> 00:05:36.639 to be great if you're going to be on the move 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:40.220 and have your podcast show held outdoors, outside 00:05:40.220 --> 00:05:43.199 your studio. It's going to work really, really 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.199 well. Two microphones into one. And one more 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.759 good thing about this entire arrangement is that 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:53.120 if you're a musician and you play the guitar, 00:05:53.319 --> 00:06:00.540 this mic, the MV7i, use a TRS jack. Stick it 00:06:00.540 --> 00:06:04.170 in into the input. And I'm talking about your 00:06:04.170 --> 00:06:08.250 guitar. Stick your guitar TRS jack into the input 00:06:08.250 --> 00:06:13.730 of the MV7i and you can play and sing all on 00:06:13.730 --> 00:06:17.629 one piece of equipment. I mean, that's just brilliant, 00:06:17.709 --> 00:06:20.610 right? And with the Motif Mix app, you can do 00:06:20.610 --> 00:06:25.209 a lot of things. You can also break things down 00:06:25.209 --> 00:06:27.759 into multi -track if you want to. work on your 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:31.459 guitar on mono and your mic on stereo. You can 00:06:31.459 --> 00:06:35.060 do all that on one platform. And I think Shure 00:06:35.060 --> 00:06:39.319 at this time has solved a lot of issues. Thanks 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.519 again, Shure Asia as well as E &E for making 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:46.839 us the first people to test this mic out in Singapore. 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:49.800 If you're a musician, you're going to love this. 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:53.600 If you're a podcaster or even if you are a home 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.839 recordist, whatever you do with microphones, 00:06:56.629 --> 00:07:01.110 Well, you know, go reach out for a Shure MV7i. 00:07:01.209 --> 00:07:03.050 Let me tell you, it solves a lot of your headaches. 00:07:03.730 --> 00:07:06.310 This is Chris Hansen on Mic Drop for the Chris 00:07:06.310 --> 00:07:07.129 Hansen Conversation.
