Latest news
- Jun 23: How can you tell when a microphone company is supportive of podcasters? Here’s a “prime” example: when they don’t offer exclusive deals with only one online retailer. Shure is offering money off its range of microphones and earphones: the Shure website lists the deals; you can get the savings ($66 off the SM7B for example), “wherever you get your microphones” (Amazon or other authorised dealers across North America).
- Mar 4: So you have a great XLR microphone - but what if you could get rid of the chunky XLR cable, and the audio interface, and just plug it into your phone or laptop? And being able to add EQ and dynamic compression to it would be even better. Shure has launched the second generation of the MVX2U, an interface that turns any XLR microphone into a USB one. Even the SM7B.
- Oct 17, 2025: Lower Street has launched a video podcast production service. The founder and CEO Harry Morton announced the company’s approach in a video - filmed sitting in a field with three cows, seemingly in the pursuit of a metaphor about yoghurt. The company’s philosophy is that a video podcast shouldn’t just be a repurposed audio recording; we suspect it’s also learnt that Shure SM7Bs should ideally be kept away from Aberdeen Angus dairy cattle. You can watch the a-moo-sing video over here.
- Apr 15, 2025: Rolling Stone has run an “audio awards”. RØDE and Shure are both familiar brands that have won, in more than sixty categories. (Many of the links to buy the award-winners are affiliate links, though we don’t see anywhere that discloses that.)
- Jan 7, 2025: At CES, microphone manufacturer Shure has released the MV7i - a new USB microphone which allows you to plug in a second XLR microphone of your choice.
