How It Works

With USB and Lightning connectivity, this large diaphragm condenser microphone gives you both computer and phone compatibility -- so it’s as effective in the field as it is in the studio. Five presets at your fingertips and a built-in kickstand to make it easy to position. Plus, it’s compatible with desktop and floor stands. Get the free ShurePlus™ MOTIV™ audio app for sharing on the fly, and the MV51 becomes the ultimate accessory, at home or on the go.

Why It’s Better

Steeped in tradition

The MV51 packs the power of almost a century of audio experience into a portable microphone that uses pro components. Make history.

Singular simplicity

Plug-and-play is only part of the story. You’ll be set up in seconds and can select five DSP modes, plus adjust gain, mute and headphone volume from the front touch panel.

Go ahead and get attached

These mics are constructed to be around for a good while, through travel and tribulation and everything that comes with being a pro on the go. Get out there.
