Shure MVX2UG2 Gen 2 XLR to USB-C Audio Interface

The Shure MVX2U Gen 2 is a compact, single-channel XLR-to-USB-C audio interface that brings your XLR microphone to compatible computers, smartphones, and tablets. Designed for podcasting, streaming, and recording on the move, it combines microphone amplification, onboard digital audio processing, and headphone monitoring in a USB-powered unit weighing just 100g.

Use your XLR microphone across devices

With up to 60 dB of gain, the MVX2U Gen 2 can drive low-sensitivity dynamic microphones such as the Shure SM7B. Switch on 48V phantom power for condenser microphones. Plug the interface directly into your microphone or connect it inline with an XLR cable to suit your setup, then run the included USB-C cable to your recording device. USB-C bus power eliminates the need for external batteries or a separate power supply.

Onboard processing for clearer voice recordings

Shure's MOTIV digital audio processing includes Auto Level Mode to adjust gain intelligently, a Real-time Denoiser to reduce unwanted background ambience, and Digital Popper Stopper to tame plosives. Use the compatible MOTIV apps to adjust tone, EQ, compression, limiting, and other settings, giving you control over your sound whether you're working at a desk or recording away from the studio.

Monitor as you record

A built-in 3.5mm headphone output provides zero-latency monitoring and playback. Adjust Monitor Mix through the MOTIV apps to balance microphone monitoring with playback for your workflow.

Compatibility

The MVX2U Gen 2 supports compatible USB-C devices running Windows 10 or later, macOS 14 or later, iOS 17 or later, or Android 14 or later. It is MFi certified for iPhone and iPad and works with the MOTIV Mix desktop app, MOTIV Audio mobile app, and MOTIV Video mobile app. Check Shure's current device and app compatibility requirements before purchase.
