Features

Turn any XLR microphone into a USB microphone

The MVX2U Gen 2 lets you connect an XLR microphone directly to a computer, smartphone, or tablet via USB-C. You can immediately use your favorite microphone for podcasting, streaming, video conferencing, or recording—without needing a traditional audio interface.

A powerful preamp compatible with all microphones

With up to +60 dB of gain and 48 V phantom power, the MVX2U Gen 2 works equally well with dynamic and condenser microphones. It easily powers demanding microphones like the Shure SM7B while maintaining a clean, noise-free signal.

Built-in intelligent audio processing

The onboard DSP automatically enhances the quality of your recordings. Auto Level mode adjusts the level in real time to maintain a constant volume, while the Real-Time Denoiser reduces background noise and the Digital Popper Stopper™ effectively limits plosives. You get a clear, consistent voice, even in an acoustically untreated room.

Customizable settings to suit your needs

With the Shure MOTIV Mix, MOTIV Audio, and MOTIV Video apps, you can easily customize your sound. Equalizer, compressor, limiter, high-pass filter, and tone controls are accessible from your computer or mobile device. Your settings are automatically saved so you can reproduce the same sound across all your devices.

Latency-free monitoring in an ultra-compact design

The built-in 3.5 mm headphone output lets you monitor your recording in real time, with no delay. Weighing just 100 g and powered directly via the USB-C port, the MVX2U Gen 2 sets up quickly with minimal cables and is easy to take with you wherever you go.
