Shure has announced the MVX2U Gen 2 Digital Audio Interface, a compact single-channel solution for streamers, podcasters and creators using XLR microphones.
Building on the MVX2U, the Gen 2 model adds more advanced, onboard digital audio processing, controllable through the MOTIV desktop and mobile apps across iOS, Android, and desktop devices.
It is the lightest single-channel interface on the market with an included USB-C cable that carries both power and audio for simple and reliable set-up. It also supports dynamic and condenser XLR microphones for ready-to-record podcasting or livestreaming, providing up to +60dB of gain and 48V phantom power for condenser microphones.
‘The MVX2U Gen 2 is the simplest way to record an XLR microphone on any device,’ says Associate VP of Global Marketing and Product Management, Eduardo Valdes. ‘Now you can connect an SM7B, SM58 or other favourite microphone directly to a phone and capture professional-level audio anywhere – at music festivals, conferences and on busy city streets. Whether it is plugged directly into a microphone or used as an inline connection, this compact interface is packed with features that elevate how creators capture audio across phones, tablets and desktops.’
Shure’s MOTIV apps are supported, including the MOTIV Mix Desktop App, MOTIV Audio App and MOTIV Video App. These offer in-app recording along with control over DSP settings. When configured, DSP settings remain active, so users can record through a third-party app or native camera app.
Shure’s MOTIV apps also enable users to manage audio libraries, save recordings across mobile and desktop devices, and adjust monitor mix presets all in one convenient spot.
The MVX2U Gen 2 Digital Audio Interface is available now for US$139 and includes a 1m USB-C to USB-C Cable and user starter guide.
