The Shure MV7 Podcast Microphone Bundle gives you two items perfect for any podcasting setup: the Shure MV7 Microphone, and a Manfrotto PIXI Mini Table Top Tripod for mounting it on your desk. Whether you're recording to audio interfaces, hard-disk recorders, studio preamps, mobile devices, or computers, the MV7 will give you a broadcast-ready sound over USB and XLR connections. It will not, however, hold itself upright of its own volition—that's what the Manfrotto PIXI Mini tripod is for. Place the mic onto the tripod, and you'll have almost everything you need to record a podcast-ready sound.
