Shure RK345 Black Foam Replacement Windscreen for SM7A and SM7B Microphones - Reduces Unwanted Breath and Wind Noise, Combatting Plosives and Clicks

Definitely get this for your mv7, fits on and stays on

My sm7b has been through it all and I can say whenever you replace the wind screen it’s so satisfying, it’s really nice quality. I have to get these things every so often to replace on my mic since I have cats around. I’m sure pet owners will know how that is. Anyways, they get cat hair in the pop filter and I pick it out and it damages it. When the wind screen is damaged after years of use the amount of background ambient noise picked up is really bad. This thing really does make or break the pick up quality of the sm7b no doubt.

I got this awhile ago, and wanted to leave my feedback. I have both a Shure SM7B and MV7. I needed a good second mic for another PC so I got the MV7. The one thing I noticed was that as good as the MV7 is, it's really susceptible to plosives. Yes the SM7B is as well, but not as much as the MV7. I don't always like to use those larger pop filters, and just wanted something simpler. As test, I took off the windscreen from my SM7B and put it on the MV7. Wow it fits. It doesn't snap on like it does on the SM7B, but it fits just snug enough to where it won't fall off on it's own. So I ordered the RK345 (since I needed to put the other one back on the SM7B). This works great on the MV7. It doesn't entirely eliminate the plosives, but it reduces it by A LOT. Aside from using a regular pop filter, I would definitely recommend you get this.

Must buy for mv7 owners as the stock windscreen doesnt do anything

As many other reviewers have noted, this windscreen fits the Shure MV7 and is basically a necessary upgrade over the foam that comes with that microphone. The MV7 is a great mic but *super* plosive sensitive. Switching to this foam will help with that a lot, though it still has some drawbacks. PROS + Drastic improvement over MV7's included windscreen, improving tone and blocking a lot more plosive sound. + Fits the MV7 exactly (I see a review showing it doesn't go all the way on; they've either got a defective unit or have pushed it on right. Mine fits precisely.) + Makes the MV7 look like an SM7B — points for upping the look of your production suite. + Cheap! CONS - Still isn't great for close-to-mic vocal work. Plosions still get through. I suggest using a larger, rounded foam windscreen if you do right-up-on-the-mic voiceover stuff. But off-axis with a bit of distance, it's great. - Gray instead of black. Lots of other reviewers noted this. The color doesn't bother me, and it doesn't look cheap on my mic. But I would have preferred it be the dark black of my other foam windscreens.

Encaja perfecto aparte muy buena calidad!

I’m sure everyone has heard this countless times but, the standard pop filter that comes included with the mv-7 does not stop plosives at all. This filter for the sm7b fit perfectly and my audio is now clear and sounds as it should. It is a bit longer than the original but I actually don’t mind the look while it is on the mic. I’m not a professional when it comes to sound and I don’t know much when it comes to what is right and wrong with a lot of things related to studio quality sound. I do know what sounds good and this filter made my videos sound so much better and I notice the difference in my videos so it is perfect for me.

Basically the title. Of course it works just as well as the original. Great for if yours gets old, torn, chipped, whatever (Let’s say you messed up trying to put the bigger one on), and really reasonably priced given the mic cost; Shure could easily set it at $30 and people would pay it. Really actually a good guy move on Shure’s part. They make an amazing mic that can last for years and allow you to make it like new with a dirt cheap OEM part, so you could keep one of these going for years. Imagine if Apple did that, rather than have phone’s batteries purposely get worse.. they’d crumble! Testament to Shure, it’s quality and it’s relationship with musicians and recording artists of all sorts. From the first Shure product in my teens, an M44 needle for a Technics 1200 (well, two), I’ve loved the brand. Maybe over the top, but considering how many manufacturers would not make it available or charge a lot to encourage new sales, it shows they intend their stuff to last. Of course the only people interested in this will already have the mic most likely so I’m preaching to the choir.

Der Shure RK345 Ersatzwindschutz ist ein Muss für alle, die das Beste aus ihrem Mikrofon herausholen möchten. Ich benutze ihn für mein Shure MV7, und er hat meine Aufnahmequalität spürbar verbessert. Verarbeitung und Passform Der Windschutz fühlt sich hochwertig an und ist präzise auf die Form von SM7A- und SM7B-Mikrofonen abgestimmt. Auch auf meinem MV7 passt er perfekt, was ein großer Pluspunkt ist. Der Schaumstoff ist dicht genug, um effektiv Geräusche zu dämpfen, aber nicht so dick, dass er die Klangqualität negativ beeinflusst. Klangverbesserung Dieser Windschutz reduziert unerwünschte Atem- und Windgeräusche, was besonders bei Sprachaufnahmen oder Podcasting hilfreich ist. Plosive wie "P" und "B" werden deutlich abgeschwächt, ohne die Klarheit der Stimme zu beeinträchtigen. Auch Klickgeräusche durch S-Laute werden minimiert. Ich hatte zuvor oft mit störenden Plosivlauten zu kämpfen, aber mit dem RK345 ist das kein Problem mehr. Einfache Handhabung Das Aufziehen des Windschutzes ist unkompliziert, und er sitzt sicher, ohne zu verrutschen. Er ist außerdem leicht zu reinigen, was ihn zu einer langlebigen Investition macht.

La verdad que no ponía muchas esperanzas en este producto y cuando lo recibí me sorprendió la calidad del mismo. La espuma es densa y firme y trae la fijación de plástico para que no se mueva (cosa que las copias chinas no traen y queda la espuma bailando).

MV7純正から取替え。 ポップノイズや歯擦音がほぼ消えました。

Like many other reviewers, I bought this to complement my Shure MV7. It is a fantastic improvement that immediately and significantly reduced the effect of plosives caused by speaking in close proximity to the mic. I am a professional videographer and have extensive audio experience, much of which is recording voiceovers for video. Previously I've used rather expensive condenser mics and I have to say I was quite happy with the results. But then I came across a YouTube video review of the Shure MV7 and I thought I'd give it a whirl. Going straight into the PC through USB and bypassing my digital desk has it's appeal, in particular freeing me more easily from the studio by not having to pack a laptop, audio interface, pop shield, stand, shockmount, headphones and xlr cables as well as the mic. The MV7, with it's built-in shockmount means I can take just the mic, a USB cable, headphones and a stand. However, on first receiving the MV7 I was disappointed with how it handled plosives using the stock windshield. A quick google later and I came across the RK345, which I bought immediately. I was surprised to see some negative reviews on Amazon, with some reviewers saying their windshield kept dropping off, that it was too long for the mic, or that it was made of the same material and thickness as the stock windshield. This has not been my experience at all. The windshield that I received is of an obviously differently constructed material, darker in colour and several centimetres longer than the stock one. One reviewer mentioned that he had cut the plastic collar and a few millimetres of the foam off so it fitted more snugly on his mic. I'm not sure that was such a wise move. If you look at how the RK345 fits on the SM7B (for which it's designed) you'll notice the SM7b has a grille that extends several cms past the diaphragm. The grille on the MV7 is very close to the diaphragm. When you put the RK345 on the MV7 it takes your lips the same distance away from the diaphragm as would be the case on the SMB7. By cutting the collar and some of the foam away, your lips will be the same distance away as if you used the stock windshield. I suspect that would negate some of its benefits. Of course, this is only relevant if you speak very close to the mic. If you speak 18 inches away the plosives will have little effect anyway. As for it constantly falling off, I have just narrated a 70 minute documentary over the course of a day, and it didn't drop off once. It isn't a snug fit on the MV7 but it's enough to not fall off on its own, even when I'm swinging the mic boom to the side. I would guess that an elastic band around the base of the mic would resolve any such issues anyway (and not be seen). As for how effective it is at reducing plosives, I would say it's night and day compared to the stock windshield. It's as good as the best traditional pop shields I've used, and even these are only wholly effective when used by an experienced voice artiste who can minimise plosives through technique. All in all, I am surprised to have read any negative reviews and I wonder if people's expectations of what a windshield is capable of doing might be too high. When used by a narrator who has a modicum of mic technique, this windshield makes a noticeable difference. Personally, I think it is great value at just under £20 and I recommend it to any MV7 user.

The problem i had with the original windscreen was its inability to reduce plosives. I had to combine two windscreens together to get some sort of plosive reduction... I think because it naturally positions you farther away from the pill, plus the foam itself, it does a much better job. Definitely will purchase again.
