7 Gaming Audio Problems the MV6 Gen 2 Solves

• Second generation MV6 makes your gaming audio even better

• Easily handles everything from loud shouting to quiet whispers

• Reduces annoying background noise like keyboard tapping

• Eliminates monitoring latency with real-time audio

• Quick USB setup for live streaming

We’ve all been there before: You’re playing a favorite multiplayer video game with friends and someone on your team screams from excitement. The audio just completely blows out, taking much of your hearing with it.

It’s just one of many ways bad gaming audio not only can hinder communication, but could also potentially ruin the whole playing experience.

That’s why Shure has taken everything gamers and streamers loved about the MV6 Gaming Microphone and made it even better. The Gen 2 version was specifically designed to address the most common problems with gaming audio, so let’s explore how it can improve your playing or streaming experience.

When your gaming audio is too quiet or too loud

Are there moments when your teammates can’t hear you whisper? Or does your audio crackle when you suddenly shout? Such sound issues are rather quite widespread, but fortunately the MV6 Gen 2 makes it easy to eliminate or reduce both.

The fully adjustable Auto Level Mode automatically balances your voice volume from the loudest screams to the quietest whispers. You can even choose between a speedy response for competitive gaming or a smoother change in the gain for long-form streams.

When your gaming audio has too much background noise

It’s fairly common to hear people’s gaming audio plagued with background noise. Loud AC? Live on a busy street?

Whatever the source of noise, the MV6’s real-time Denoiser is the simple solution to your audio issues. It’s adjustable, so you can have the mic stay hyper focused on your voice or let in some of the room sound for a more natural stream ambiance.

Or maybe it’s just your clickety-clackety keyboard you’re constantly bashing away on. Here the powerful onboard Denoiser is also likely to solve much of your problem, but if you want even more isolation, try using the MV6 Gen 2 with a mic boom arm like the Gator Frameworks model.

When you hear your own voice delayed while gaming

In the midst of battle or during a live stream, it can be super distracting when you hear yourself with a slight delay. That’s why it’s important to hear exactly what your live audio sounds like: The MV6’s 3.5mm headphone output provides zero-latency monitoring of your mic and system audio. You can also use the MOTIV Mix™ software (laptop/desktop) to adjust the balance and monitor your sound in real-time.

When plosives are ruining your gaming audio

Any serious gamer has heard those annoying pop noises known as plosives – they’re formed by harsh consonants like P, K or T and sound like someone is tapping on their mic. These can be extremely distracting to listeners and if you’re not careful, they will completely ruin your audio.

Sure, you can buy a huge pop filter to put in front of your microphone, but that’s not really a solution if you’re streaming and people need to see your face. Fortunately, the MV6 has an onboard Digital Popper Stopper™ that detects and removes these sonic bursts using innovative audio processing. It will preserve your vocal clarity and eliminate the need for a bulky external filter.

When your stream sounds different on different devices

Are you gaming or streaming on multiple devices? Now it’s a snap to configure and save your sound no matter where you’re playing. Simply use the free Shure MOTIV apps for Audio and Video on a computer, tablet or mobile to adjust MV6’s onboard settings: You can customize your sound, manage monitor mixes and save your favorite presets. Lock in your tone once and enjoy consistent audio all the time, across your different devices.

When you can’t soundproof your bedroom or gaming space

Few of us can afford professional acoustic panels, so the sound quality of your bedroom gaming space can suffer. But the MV6’s Voice Isolation Technology means you can get amazing audio in even acoustically challenging places: The dynamic capsule, cardioid polar pattern and onboard digital audio processing work together to reject off-axis sound and ambient noise to reproduce your voice with the highest clarity.

When you need to set up your USB mic audio for streaming

Getting your gaming audio sorted for streaming has never been easier: MOTIV Mix™ for laptops and desktops allows you to quickly aggregate multichannel audio output for your preferred streaming software. All you need to do is plug in your MV6 Gen 2 into your device’s USB port and you’ll be ready to go in seconds. The MV6 comes with a matching desktop stand with an isolated base to reduce vibrations and a USB-C to USB-C cable.
