Shure recently announced a new dynamic mic for the podcasting industry that focuses on connectivity and functionality when it comes to the various scenarios it can be worked into. It is another hybrid solution that allows users to connect it via either XLR (analog) or USB-C (digital). Allowing it to make its way into any board configuration or directly plugged into a computer (or mobile device that supports USB-C microphones).
The company is promising broadcast-level sound for not just podcasting, but for anyone in studio or streaming looking for a full range experience. Taking advantage of what the company refers to as “Voice Isolation Technology” (every company has its spin on things when it comes to naming these things), the microphone offers environmental noise canceling, allowing it to focus on the voice of the person in front of it while isolating everything else out.
It also features several tricks built into its DSP, including “Auto Level Mode,” and “Digital Popper Stopper” for implosives (I love their name choice for that last one), and others. Of course, these are accessible via the app (MOTIV Mix Desktop app) when connected using USB (via XLR, you are left to your own devices).
There is a multi-colored (full RGB) LED touch panel for the input level that also functions as a mute when you simply tap it. Because everything needs RGB now, especially when it comes to streamers.
It is available in both black and white variations for an MSRP of $279 (although the white one comes later this summer for whatever reasons). It is available via select retailers, such as Amazon, Best Buy, and more.
