Shure announced the MVX2U Gen 2 Digital Audio Interface, a compact, single-channel audio interface designed to make professional-quality recording easier and more reliable for streamers, podcasters, and other creators using XLR microphones.
Building on the original MVX2U, the Gen 2 model now features more advanced onboard digital audio processing capabilities that can be controlled via the MOTIV mobile/desktop app for iOS, Android, and desktop devices.
The MVX2U Gen 2 is an extremely lightweight interface, offering high portability for delivering studio-quality sound anywhere. The included USB-C cable provides both power and audio simultaneously, enabling simple and reliable setup.
The Shure MVX2U Gen 2 also instantly transforms any dynamic or condenser microphone with an XLR output into a professional podcast/live streaming setup, providing up to +60dB of clean gain and 48V of phantom power to the microphone, without the need for an external preamp.
What is the Shure MVX2U Gen 2?
Simplify connection, recording, and production on any device
With direct or inline microphone connectivity, this compact interface is packed with features to enhance the recording experience for creators on any device: smartphone, tablet, or desktop. Simply plug in your favorite microphone and start recording instantly.
Get the best sound for your XLR microphone anywhere
The MVX2U Gen 2 features Shure’s advanced digital audio processing technology, automatically optimizing the input sound of your preferred XLR microphone for a refined and balanced sound. The onboard processing operates without latency, maintaining consistent high-quality sound even across different devices and recording environments.
Advanced audio processing includes the following features:
- Auto Level Mode: Automatically adjusts gain to ensure consistent recording
- Real-time Denoiser: Reduce background noise in any environment
- Digital Popper Stopper: Minimizes popping noise
The MVX2U Gen 2 also automatically saves the last audio processing settings used, preserving the creator’s sound profile even when switching devices. Additionally, improvements have been made to the noise floor, headphone amplifier, and DAC (digital-to-analog converter) to further enhance the recording experience.
Sound customization made simple
Shure’s MOTIV Mix desktop app, MOTIV Audio app, and MOTIV Video app offer ultimate control over your sound. These apps offer recording functionality and advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processing) settings like tone, EQ, compressor, and limiter for precise adjustments to create the perfect sound. DSP settings are retained on the device, ensuring seamless recording with consistent audio quality, even when using third-party apps or your smartphone’s built-in camera app.
The MOTIV app also streamlines production workflow by making it easy to manage audio libraries, save recordings, and adjust monitor mixes.
The MVX2U Gen 2 is equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack for latency-free audio monitoring, and a three-color LED indicator lets you check the microphone and device connection status, reducing the risk of recording errors.
With creators now demanding highly portable, professional audio solutions, the MVX2U Gen 2 has arrived to meet that need. With its built-in DSP and simple connectivity, this connector maximizes the performance of XLR microphones even on mobile devices, bridging the gap between studio-quality sound and mobile-centric production workflows.
The product comes with a 1-meter USB-C to USB-C cable and a getting started guide.
