Get a great sound on spoken vocals and acoustic instruments with the Shure MOTIV MV5, a mobile microphone than can plug straight into your computer or iOS device. Whether you're podcasting, singing, playing guitar, or chatting over VoIP, the MV5 will give you a great sound, thanks to its high-quality 48 kHz / 24-bit recording capture and cardioid polar pattern, which minimizes unwanted room noise.

Tabletop Recording in Any Locale

Take this mic from your home studio to the hotel room—just set it up on a table, plug it in, and get started recording. With the built-in stand, it's easy to set up anywhere. Want to use a different mic stand? No problem: the mic uses standard threading to work with other mounts and tripods. And, with lightning and USB cables included, you can pick and choose your recording device at will.

High-Quality Audio

The mic captures high-quality 48 kHz / 24-bit audio, making it suitable for use in professional applications. Also, the highly directional cardioid polar pattern will help tamp down unwanted room noise and ambience.

Built-In Monitoring & DSP

Use the built-in headphone jack to monitor the recording in process over your favorite pair of headphones. Also, note that the mic has three built-in DSP presets: Voice, Flat, and Instrument. Voice and Instrument apply EQ and compression best suited to the task. Flat leaves your vocals alone, so you can process them later.

Handy Companion Software

The ShurePlus MOTIV audio app gives you the ability to record studio-quality audio—and so much more. Trim and share in multiple formats, all with a few quick taps. Recording video? Use the MOTIV Video App.
