Shure's MV51 ("The Performer") is a digital, large-diaphragm condenser microphone used for home recording and audio for videoconferencing with Mac, PC, iPhone, iPod, iPad and Android. The MV51 combines seamless 24-bit /48kHz digital recording, vintage design and the durability of all-metal construction for grab-and-go portability. A unique touch panel puts gain, mute and headphone volume controls right up front for total control, with positioning flexibility via the built-in kickstand. Shure's MV51 is a great choice for anyone looking for a budget-friendly microphone that still offers rock-solid sound quality across its 20 Hz - 20 kHz frequency range. For a more portable version of this USB microphone that provides all of the same sound quality and features - minus the speech and singing presets - Shure's MV5 is also a worthwhile choice from the MOTIV™ series. Since this microphone is basically the diaphragm, it can stand on its own but also mount to any standard mic stand. For a microphone that doesn't need phantom power to operate, its quality is equally suitable for gaming, podcasts, or otherwise. |
