The Shure MV6 USB gaming microphone brings a breath of fresh air to the world of gaming and streaming. Designed for beginners and experienced streamers alike, it offers a combination of ease of use, high-quality audio and innovative features. With technologies that can also be found in the legendary Shure SM7 and MV7 microphones, the MV6 is an all-in-one package that leaves nothing to be desired.
The new Shure MV6 aims to lower the barriers to entry into streaming by delivering professional sound quality at an affordable price. With integrated DSP technology, voice isolation and other useful features, the MV6 positions itself as a reliable companion for anyone taking their first steps in the streaming world or looking to take their audio quality to the next level.
- Voice Isolation Technology: Minimizes background noise for clear voice transmission.
- Auto-level mode: Automatically adjusts the volume to the speaker’s position.
- Digital pop filter: Eliminates annoying plosive sounds without additional hardware.
- OBS certification: Optimum functionality with the popular streaming software Open Broadcaster Software (OBS).
Professional sound for gamers and streamers
The Shure MV6 sets itself apart from the competition with a variety of advanced features. Voice Isolation technology combines a dynamic microphone capsule with excellent rear attenuation, minimizing distracting background noise. This technology is ideal for streamers working in acoustically sub-optimal environments, such as a noisy living room or a crowded gaming room. The voice always remains in the foreground, clear and distinct, regardless of the external circumstances.
The auto-level mode, which automatically adjusts the volume of the microphone to the distance of the speaker, is particularly helpful. This means that the audio level remains constant even if the speaker changes their position at the desk. This is particularly useful when switching between keyboard, mouse and microphone during streaming. The digital pop filter ensures clean voice reproduction by filtering out harsh plosive sounds, which is particularly useful for beginners who do not yet have separate pop protection hardware.
Another notable feature is the real-time denoiser, which efficiently eliminates distracting background noise. In combination with Voice Isolation technology, it ensures that even under difficult conditions, interference-free sound is guaranteed. This makes the MV6 particularly attractive for users who want to achieve high-quality audio without a great deal of effort.
Plug & Play and OBS certification
The Shure MV6 is based on the “Plug & Play” principle and is ready for use immediately after unpacking. It is one of the first microphones to be officially certified by the OBS Project, which guarantees compatibility with the widely used Open Broadcaster Software (OBS). The OBS certification is a significant advantage as it ensures that the microphone works optimally with one of the most popular streaming software solutions on the market.
For many streamers, including the well-known content creator Loserfruit, OBS certification is a key reason to buy. “OBS certification gives me the security of knowing that I can really rely on the microphone in my day-to-day streaming via this software,” she explains. This security is particularly important for anyone who streams regularly and wants to impress their community with a professional sound.
In addition to OBS certification, the MV6 offers full support for Shure’s MOTIV Mix app. This app allows users to mix multiple audio channels and make additional adjustments. The latest beta version 1.2 of the app even brings advanced features such as activity presets and a sound check that detects background noise and provides helpful tips to improve audio quality.
