Shure MVi Digital Audio Interface (Silver)

The compact MOTIV MVi connects your microphone or instrument to your computer or mobile device to create a portable recording studio wherever and whenever you need it. For maximum flexibility the unit connects to any PC Mac or iOS device with Lightning Connector as well as most Android devices giving you absolute control while on the move. This robust all-metal unit features a combined XLR and 6.3 mm input to enable use with both microphones and instruments. When connected to a laptop/PC it also provides the phantom power required to operate condenser microphones.

The unit has five preset DSP modes (speech singing flat acoustic instrument and loud) which configure audio settings so you can start recording immediately. The built-in touch panel also provides control for gain mute and headphone volume. If you want to fine-tune your recording for a specific purpose you can adapt the limiter compressor and five-band EQ manually to find a unique sound.
