Go-anywhere, Record-anything Digital Mic

Despite its old-school vintage mic look, the Shure MV51 MOTIV series USB microphone offers you high-tech recording options you can use in your home studio and your mobile rig. A 1" condenser microphone element onboard the MV51 lets you capture delightfully clear sound, and Sweetwater recording experts really dig its five onboard DSP preset modes, which let you comfortably record vocals, voiceover material, instruments, and more, all with the same mic. A headphone output lets you monitor in real time, whether you're recording on your computer, iOS device, or Android mobile gadget. A handy touch panel lets you control all of the MV51's functions, and for added convenience, there's a kickstand built into the MV51, so you can set it down, hit record, and get to work.

Shure MV51 Digital Recording Microphone Features:

  • A versatile 24-bit/48kHz digital microphone for your computer or mobile device
  • 5 onboard DSP preset modes accommodate instrument recording, vocals, voiceover, and more
  • 1" microphone capsule delivers clear sound that sounds great on a wide range of sources
  • Built-in kickstand makes desktop use extremely convenient
  • Integrated headphone output provides real-time, low-latency monitoring
  • Includes Lightning, Android, and USB-C cables

Great antenna for internet applications

We use this microphone for remote access to ham radio stations. This is a good sounding microphone, which seems a bit better than Mackie microphone we started with. I would recommend this because it has equalization controls, volume controls and a mute that works

Good microphone for internet applications

We purchased this for using with internet remote ham radio stations. I like the fact that you can select different equalization profiles. It is easy to use and takes very little tweaking to adjust.

I would recommend this for any amateur radio operator who uses a remote station.

Seamless plug-and-play with MacOS and iOS

I downloaded the Shure app for iOS on both my iPhone 11 (running iOS 14.4) and older iPad (running iPadOS 14.2). Worked perfectly with the mic, no problems with controls. I also plugged it into the USB port of my 10 year old iMac (running macOS 10.12.6) and the mic showed up in my Control Panel and worked fine with that computer. The USB port on the mic is a standard type. I tried a spare cable I had in my junk box to verify that. The mic is heavy, which I like, but I had some trouble supporting it with the boom stand I own. The Shure website has good information on mic placement for recording musicians. I chose this mic because of good previous experience with Shure products, including phono cartridges.
