Shure MV6

The pop‑stopper technology built into the Shure MV6 effectively cuts out harsh‑sounding plosive bursts from any speaker's voice, keeping the audio clear and making an external pop filter unnecessary. An integrated signal processor also suppresses unwanted background noise – things like humming fans or buzzing air‑con – so what comes through really is just the voice itself. The cardioid pickup pattern helps in that regard, suppressing sound coming in from the sides. If unwanted noise starts to become a problem, the tap‑to‑mute button on the mic can be used to quickly silence the feed entirely. And for direct, zero‑latency monitoring of their own voice, creators can plug a pair of headphones into the 3.5mm jack on the back of the microphone.

The American company Shure began developing microphones during the early 1930s and is one of the pioneers of the audio engineering sector. Models such as the 55 Unidyne – known to many as the "Elvis microphone" – and the SM57 and SM58 which appeared in the mid-1960s are still ubiquitous in live sound production today. They enjoy cult status among musicians and technicians alike. In the 1990s, Shure introduced the first wireless microphones and in-ear monitoring systems and became a market leader in this field. In addition to microphones, Shure offers a wide range of earphones and headphones for studio and live use, as well as various accessories.
