Inspired by Shure’s iconic SM7 and MV7 lines, the MV6 Gaming Microphone is the ideal solution for gamers and streamers looking for their first professional microphone. Dynamic capsules excel in isolating the speaker’s voice from background sounds and room noise which are common in untreated streaming and gaming spaces. The combination of its dynamic cartridge with advanced DSP features and integration with Shure’s MOTIV Mix™ App ensures gamers and streamers enjoy studio-quality performance in every session without worrying about gain adjustments, plosives, or background noise. Plus, its easy access tap-to-mute button adds an extra level of control for a completely seamless experience.
“Today’s gamers and streamers want to deliver an immersive and engaging experience, and to achieve it, excellent audio is a must”. said Eduardo Valdes, Associate Vice President of Global Marketing and Product Management. “In a market that is teeming with condenser microphone options, we are introducing a dynamic microphone built with DSP controls that provides users reliable professional audio, regardless of their audio expertise, and powering them to stay hyper-focused on their game”.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Voice Isolation Technology: Minimizes background noise and eliminates distractions, unlike typical condenser microphones that can pick up unwanted room noise. This ensures that the user’s voice remains clear and prominent, free from interruptions.
  • Auto Level Mode: Automatically adjusts the microphone’s gain based on your distance and speech volume, providing consistent audio levels up to 18’’ away from the microphone, meaning gamers and streamers will sound great regardless of where it is placed on their desk. This feature was designed to simplify professional audio and ensures optimal sound quality right out-of-the-box, making it perfect for gamers and streamers.
  • Digital Popper Stopper: A virtual pop filter that removes harsh plosive sounds digitally, ensuring clean audio capture without the need for additional hardware.
  • Real-Time Denoiser: Eliminates background noise and works with the mic’s Voice Isolation Technology to deliver a cleaner, more professional sound, useful for streamers and gamers in less controlled environments.
  • The MV6 joins the MV7+ as one of the first microphones to receive the OBS certification in collaboration with the OBS Project. This certification guarantees that the MV6 microphone meets the criteria of functionality necessary to ensure users have a positive experience while using the microphone with OBS.

For gamers and streamers, the MV6 offers the best of both worlds: legendary Shure sound and effortless setup. When used with the free MOTIV Mix App users can further customize their mic, mix multiple channels of audio and stream. The new 1.2 Beta Version offers enhanced functionality, including activity presets that save time setting up each session, a background noise detection with the use of Sound Check with tips to reduce ambient noise, and an improved setup flow to get started easier with MOTIV Mix app.

The Shure MV6 Gaming Microphone, with USB-C compatibility and MFi certification, seamlessly connects with PC and Mac, as well as select Apple and Android mobile devices, providing versatile connectivity options. The built-in 3.5mm headphone output allows real-time headphone monitoring, while a versatile 12cm desktop stand and base-mount adapter ensure flexible setup options.
