Shure, an American manufacturer known for producing audio equipment, has introduced the MV6 Gen 2, the second generation of its dynamic USB microphone. Designed for users who want more control over the microphone’s built-in audio processing, this new model retains the sleek, compact design of its predecessor while offering new color options. In addition to the traditional black, the MV6 Gen 2 is now available in an all-white version, complete with a matching velvet foam cover. A USB-C cable included with the microphone can extend up to two meters, offering greater flexibility for users working in larger or more complex setups. The most significant update to the MV6 Gen 2 lies in its customizable settings. Unlike the first generation, which used fixed, non-adjustable filters, the new model allows users to fine-tune parameters using progressive sliders through the Shure MOTIV software suite. These settings are stored directly in the microphone’s internal memory, ensuring consistent audio quality whether the microphone is connected to a computer, smartphone, or tablet. The MV6 Gen 2 includes several advanced audio features. The automatic level mode, which adjusts to different speaking styles, can now be fine-tuned for intensity and responsiveness, making it suitable for both casual podcasting and high-energy vocal sessions. A real-time noise reducer includes a customizable slider that can filter out unwanted sounds like keyboard clicks or fan noise while preserving the natural tone of the voice. Additional tools include a five-band equalizer, preset modes for spoken word, singing, or instruments, and a digital filter called Popper Stopper, which helps eliminate unwanted breathing sounds. The MV6 Gen 2 also features a tactile "tap-to-mute" button with an indicator light and a 3.5 mm headphone jack for monitoring audio. A detachable, vibration-isolated base is available for mounting on standard articulated arms. Certified by Apple MFi and compatible with Windows, macOS, and Android devices, the MV6 Gen 2 is now available for purchase in France at a price of 150 euros. Andy R. is a tech writer for IGN France.
