5. Can I connect two or more MV7+ mics to my computer via USB-C?
Yes, each MV7+ can be connected to a computer using their own individual USB-C connections. However, some Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) do not support using more than one USB device at a time. MOTIV Mix, Streamlabs, and OBS are examples of software that can support multiple MV7+ devices at the same time.
6. What are the key differences when I connect the MV7+ to a computer via XLR versus USB?
Connecting to a PC via XLR will require an analog-to-digital audio interface like the Shure MVX2U. When connected via XLR, the MV7+ LED panel will not illuminate, and the Mute function is not supported. Additionally, the XLR audio signal will not have any DSP applied (e.g., no Auto Level Mode, Digital Popper Stopper, Real-Time Denoiser or Reverb).
