Sensitivity (analog)iAnalog output level for 94 dB SPL at 1 kHz, as published in dBV. For a microphone with a switchable preamp, the bypass value is used. A value published only in mV/Pa is converted as 20 x log10(mV/Pa / 1000) and rounded to one decimal, so 1.6 mV/Pa is -55.9 dBV/Pa. The printed value goes in the source note. A sensitivity in plain dB with no reference, as many low-cost USB microphones print it, is left out.

-55dBV/Pa2Owner's manualpubs.shure.com/view/guide/MV7X/en-US.pdfRead 15 October 2026Specifications: -55 dBV/Pa (1.78 mV) at 1 kHz, open circuit voltage, 1 Pa = 94 dB SPL. The output is a passive XLR output, so no preamp gain is involved.3Maker spec sheet (PDF)content-files.shure.com/publications/specSheet/en/mv7x-spec-sheet.pdfRead 15 October 2026XLR sensitivity -55 dBV/Pa (1.78 mV) at 1 kHz, 1 Pa = 94 dB SPL. The row also reads at minimum gain, flat mode, which is a wording left over from the MV7 sheet, since the MV7X has no gain stage.

-56dBV/Pa1Maker product pageshure.com/en-US/products/microphones/sm57Read 16 October 2026Page data combined specs: -56.00 dBV/Pa (1.60 mV/Pa).2Maker spec sheet (PDF)pubs.shure.com/file/260007Read 16 October 2026Sensitivity (at 1,000 Hz, open circuit voltage): -56.0 dBV/Pa (1.6 mV), where 1 Pa = 94 dB SPL.3Owner's manualpubs.shure.com/guide/SM57/en-USRead 16 October 2026Sensitivity (at 1 kHz, open circuit voltage): -56.0 dBV/Pa (1.6 mV), where 1 Pa = 94 dB SPL.

Sensitivity (digital)iDigital output level over USB for 94 dB SPL at 1 kHz. The minimum gain value is used when several are given. The gain setting goes in the source note. On a USB-only microphone use this field only when the maker prints dBFS or ties a dBV value to the USB output, as Shure does for the MV7i. A dBV, dB re 1 V/Pa or mV/Pa value that names no USB output is left out. The printed unit and the gain go in the source note. A value printed for another reference level is converted by the level difference, so -40 dBFS at 80 dB SPL is -26 dBFS at 94 dB SPL. The printed value goes in the source note.

Not available

Not available

Max SPLiHighest sound pressure level at the source's distortion limit. The THD level and output path go in the source note. The value without a clipping protection mode such as Clipguard is used when both are given. The value with the pad off is used. When the maker lists several preamp loads, the highest load is used. The load goes in the source note. On a USB microphone that prints values per gain setting, the minimum gain value is used, as for sensitivity.

Not available

Max SPL distortion limitiThe distortion level at which the maker states the max SPL, e.g. 1, 3 or 10 % THD. Left out when the maker names none. Max SPL figures compare only at the same limit.

Self-noiseiEquivalent noise level, A-weighted, in dB SPL. Lower is quieter. The analog value is used when analog and digital values are both given. A value in dBV or dBFS is left out. On a USB microphone that prints values per gain setting, the minimum gain value is used, as for max SPL.

Output impedanceiRated impedance of the XLR output. For a microphone with a switchable preamp, the bypass value is used. A USB-only microphone has no value here, even when the maker prints an impedance for the capsule. When the maker prints a rated and an actual impedance, as Shure does for the SM58, the rated value is stored and the actual one goes in the source note.

Onboard controlsiFunctions you can change on the microphone itself, by knob, button, switch or touch. Settings that exist only in the app do not count. A switch that sets preamp gain steps, such as +18 or +28 dB, counts as gain. Echo is a knob or button for an echo or reverb effect.

Onboard processingiProcessing inside the microphone, analog or digital, that works without the maker's app running. A maker statement that settings are saved in the microphone counts. Effects that run only in the app on the computer do not count. An expander counts as noise gate. Clip protection such as Clipguard is clip protection. Limiter is only for a limiter the maker lists as its own effect, never both for one feature. Brand names such as APHEX or Clipguard go in the source note. Attenuation pad is a switch that lowers the capsule output, such as -15 dB. Echo is an echo or reverb effect in the microphone. Exciter or bass enhancer covers effects that add harmonics or bass, such as APHEX Aural Exciter and Big Bottom.

Microphone dimensionsiMicrophone body without a stand or a detachable shock mount. A fixed yoke is included. Width is left to right as seen by the speaker, height is bottom to top in normal use and depth is front to back. Orient the microphone as in use on its yoke or stand. Depth is the direction it points at the speaker, height is up and width is across. An upright side-address microphone has its length as height. An end-address microphone has its length as depth, also when it is held in the hand. A round microphone with only a length and a diameter uses the diameter for the other two sides. The source note states the mapping.

Warranty

1 of 1 differ

Manufacturer warranty (source market)iThe maker's warranty period for the exact SKU or configuration and market named in the source note. It applies only to that stated market, not every regional variant. Statutory consumer rights are excluded. The base term is stored. An extension that needs registration goes in the source note.

2years5Reviewsoundguys.com/shure-mv7x-review-65199Read 15 October 2026The review says the MV7X comes with a two-year warranty. The review prices are US dollars. Shure's legal page says its limited warranty runs one or two years depending on the product and does not name the MV7X, so the review term is stored.
