As if the USB gaming microphone market wasn’t already competitive enough, budding content creators will now have a top-of-the-line Shure option to consider. The new Shure MV6 brings the audio quality and iconic design of what is maybe the world’s most iconic podcasting microphone to an accessible price point, and I think it might take over the entry-level streaming scene.
Along with live monitoring and a USB-C connection port, the mic also sports a capacitive tap-to-mute button on it - a helpful addition for those who don’t have one of the best streaming mixers to help them control their live audio.
Bucking the trend for this type of mic however, the MV6 opts not to include an audio or gain dial. At first, this was a bit disappointing to learn, but the folks at Shure have told me this is because they have faith in the microphone’s built-in Auto Leveler software and Digital Popper Stopper. Another piece of hardware may have added cost and upset the iconic look of the mic anyway, so I suppose I can understand.
Interestingly, Shure has also made a commitment to battle background noise. The MV6 is a Dynamic mic, which is another irregularity - usually streaming mics are designed to be a bit more forgiving and opt for a condenser capsule instead. Not only that, but the brand has included a real-time de-noiser. This will certainly create an interesting matchup between the new MV6 and theSteelSeries AliasandAlias Pro, which sailed through its launch thanks toingenious noise-rejection.

Included in the purchase of a Shure MV6 is the microphone itself, a desktop foot-stand, and a USB-C to USB-C cable. The value doesn’t end there though -Shure’s MV7+utilizes a digital mixing software called the MOTIV Mix app, and that free program can be used here to customize settings, as well as route audio sources in your PC or laptop.

With the Shure SM7B known as “that mic Joe Rogan uses”, I imagine plenty of people will be eager to add the MV6 to theirstreaming gearselection. The new mic hits the shelves today, but I for one think it’ll be very popular, so if you’re interested in grabbing one don’t wait around.
