The Ultimate Solution for On-the-Road Podcasting: Shure MVX2u and the Shure SM7B
Welcome back to Best Podcasting Gear, the show where we help you sound like a million bucks without spending a million bucks. I'm your host, Dave Jackson, from the School of Podcasting.com (https://links.podcastingresources.com/frombest).

In today's episode, we will talk about the Shure MVX2u, a game-changing solution for podcasters who want to take their Shure SM7B microphone on the road.You know, we've all had that moment where we dream of being the next Joe Rogan, but then reality hits us when we realize the hassle of bringing our equipment with us. The SM7B requires a significant amount of gain to get that crystal-clear signal. But fear not, my friends, because Shure has come to the rescue with their new tool, the Sure MVX2u (https://supportthisshow.com/mvx2u).This XLR to USB digital interface is a game-changer. With its headphone jack, integrated preamp offering 60 decibels of gain, zero-latency monitoring, and even 48 volts Phantom Power, it has everything you need to elevate your podcasting experience.But here's the best part: the MVX2u works seamlessly with the Sure Plus desktop software. This allows you to customize your sound and save your settings directly onto the USB device. So, even when you're on the road without your computer, your perfect sound is just a click away.Now, you may be wondering if this is the first time Shure has released such a device. They had the X2U with a micro USB interface before, but the MVX2u takes it to a whole new level. And at just $129, it's a steal. In fact, if you were thinking of getting the Fet head to boost the gain, which only offers 20 decibels of gain for $99, I would highly recommend going for the MVX2u instead. Its 60 decibels of gain essentially turns your SM7B into a USB microphone.And while we're on the topic of recommendations, I have to share my go-to place for purchasing gear: Sweetwater. Not only do they offer financing options if you prefer spreading out your payments, but they also add an extra year of warranty to every purchase. Plus, they even include some sweet candy in the box to make your day a little brighter.So, if you're a podcaster looking to elevate your audio quality and take your Shure SM7B on the road hassle-free, the Shure MVX2u might be the perfect solution for you.
