Episode Synopsis

Video: https://youtu.be/EaEf2YX_tnUToday I walkthrough, explain, test and review the new Shure MVX2u. This is the smallest interface I've reviewed and it offers +60dB of gain as well as Digital Signal Processing such as EQ, Compression, and Limiting. The preamp is on the noisier side of things and as of early-September 2023 there is an issue with low frequency sounds increasing the noise floor of the device.  Buy the Shure MVX2u (Affiliate Links)Amazon: https://geni.us/mvx2uSweetwater: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/mvx2uB&H Photo: https://bhpho.to/45D82VhThomann: https://www.thomannmusic.com/shure_motiv_mvx2u.htm?offid=1&affid=2060Buy the Rode NT1 Kit (Affiliate)Amazon: http://geni.us/rodent1Sweetwater: https://imp.i114863.net/nt1B&H Photo: https://bhpho.to/3OTT0VnThomann: https://www.thomannmusic.com/rode_nt1_kit.htm?offid=1&affid=2060Buy the Shure SM7b (Affiliate Link)Amazon: https://geni.us/shuresm7bSweetwater: https://imp.i114863.net/sm7bB&H Photo: https://bhpho.to/3qrIZVThomann: https://www.thomann.de/intl/shure_sm_7b_studiomikro.htm?offid=1&affid=2060As an affiliate I earn from qualifying purchases.00:00 - Intro / Pricing / Disclosure 00:31 - Signal Chain for Testing00:30 - What’s in the Box00:44 - Build Quality01:19 - Specifications02:14 - Shure SM7b Mic Test (No Cloudlifter or Fethead)03:27 - Preamp Noise Level Test  05:03 - Software Auto-Level Walkthrough10:28 - Software Processing Walkthrough15:37 - Are Settings Stored on the Device?16:45 - Pros & Cons19:43 - Recommendation21:32  - Outro
