If you’re a musician or audio aficionado, you know that Shure microphones rank among the best, and at prices that regular folks, like us, can afford. That kind of expertise has been lacking when it comes to computer microphones, many of which are cheap but unfortunately sound that way, too.
Fortunately, Shure has brought their mic game to the computer world with the MV6 Gaming Microphone, which comes with everything you need for a primo mic setup, whether you’re engaging in online gaming or recording the latest episode of a podcast — and all at a price that’s unheard of for a microphone this good!
Shure MV6 Gaming Microphone, $149
Even for the technologically disadvantaged, setting up the Shure MV6 Gaming Microphone couldn’t be easier — just plug it into a USB port on your computer, and you can get started right away. And most of the bugaboos that plague lesser microphones, like uneven volume levels or the dreaded “puh” noises that come when you’re speaking with plosives, are also taken care of for you, as this microphone adjusts the gain automatically and uses its built-in tech to take unwanted pops out of your voice. Speaking of advanced tech, the microphone also utilizes real-time denoising and voice isolation to remove background noises and keep the focus on where you want it — your own voice.
The Shure MV6 is flexible, giving you the power to customize your microphone’s sound if you use Shure’s free MOTVIV app. For example, you can adjust the overall tone of your sound, add a high-pass filter for background noise or turn off the denoiser and plosive reducer if you already have a professional-level setup. The mic also comes with a 3.5mm output for plugging in your headphone while you’re “in session.” Most important of all, this Shure mic excels where it counts: in overall sound quality. Voice capture and clarity are top-notch and rival microphones that cost twice as much, and the microphone itself, as you’d expect from Shure, is solid and weighty, as is the accompanying desk stand.
Audio experts who are familiar with Shure’s products aren’t disappointed by the Shure MV6 Gaming Microphone. In the words of PC Gamer, it’s “a formidable desktop gaming mic,” and one Amazon user has rated it as “the best affordable dynamic microphone for gamers and streamers.” A quality microphone created by a master microphone company at a modest price — that’s music to any gamer or podcaster’s ears!
