To easily flip the microphone orientation, loosen the screws and rotate 180 degrees.
Shure Incorporated Near For podcast and voice recording applications. Position the MV7 in front of and as close to your face as possible. Speak directly into the mic, 1-6 inches (2.54 - 15 cm) away for a more intimate voice sound with maximum rejection of off-axis sounds. Speaking closer to the microphone results in more bass response, similar to voices on a radio broadcast. Make additional gain adjustments if necessary.
