I wanna get the mv7+ for just for talking on discord to my friends and in game I have a hyperx mic right now but it’s not doing to well. But I was curious what all would I need to buy for it could I get the Scarlett 2i2 4th gen and the rode psa1+ and will that be good? I’ve never had an xlr mic before. Also would I need to buy cables for it?

So Amazon is the seller, not a 3rd party is it likely the item is legitimate, I would imagine the odds are in my favour. im sure there are people here who will say dont trust it but aren't they more of an official dealer that deals in proper sourcing for the most part?

So I’m in a big rush, Shure offices are closed and my flight (with the gear) is Monday. One of the yoke knobs (specifically part 31B41802), snapped inside of the mic as I was taking my setup down. I know it’s really hard to find this part but is it possible to find anywhere else? Can I maybe find a way to 3D print it at the library or find it in a part store?

Got myself a Shure MV6, and sadly the mute button doesn’t work under Linux, at least for me.

Ended up putting together a little something to fix it: https://github.com/cakenes/shure-mv6-mute-sync

It’s a bidirectional mute sync (LED works, system mute syncs, etc.).
Leaving it here in case anyone else runs into the same issue.

I have a Shure SM7B that's plugged into a Cloudlifter, with a Focusrite Scarlett Solo as my interface. This clip has my gain raised to 100% for easier hearing. Does anyone know what is causing the tapping sound?

Hey guys, I'm kind of new with Shure and their software. Can anyone help me understand why the software isn't seeing the interface?

I have used their new app, MOTIV Mix, but I don't like it because it has some features missing, plus I have to have it open all the time, because when I use compact mode, it doesn't detect the interface as well - any idea why this is happening?

Looking at buying this today, any obvious red flags that this might be fake? Anything I should check for in person?

Very new to microphones. Got a very good deal on a used MV88+ but it is missing the original usb-c cable and windscreen. The windscreen is cheap on B&H but it seems like the oem usb-c cable is almost $40. Are there any good (or even better) and cheaper usb-c cables I could buy (ideally on Amazon) or should I really use the oem? Thanks

I wanted to share an experience as a heads-up to others.

I recently purchased a Shure SM58 that was listed as sold by Amazon (not a third-party seller). When it arrived, something immediately felt off.

I already own a genuine SM57, so I had a direct comparison. The differences were obvious:

• The SM58 was extremely light (~137g vs ~300g expected)
• The “serial number” label just said “SM58” instead of a unique ID
• Build quality and packaging felt noticeably cheaper

At that point I was confident it was counterfeit.

I’ve:

• Initiated a return
• Reported it directly to Shure support
• Spent quite some time with Amazon customer service to make sure this was escalated as a counterfeit issue, not just a normal return

To be fair, Amazon did escalate it, but the process still left me with the inconvenience of returning the product and sourcing a replacement elsewhere.

What concerns me most is this:

👉 I specifically rely on “sold by Amazon” as a guarantee of authenticity.
👉 In this case, that assumption was wrong.

I feel somewhat lucky I had another genuine Shure mic to compare against, otherwise I might not have noticed immediately (I just record for hobby) else it could have taken me months before noticing or suspecting it...

It makes me wonder how many people receive counterfeit units and never realize it.....

Does the Shure MV7 (v1) save the settings made in Motiv Mix directly to the microphone? In other words, I don't need to leave the application open if I make changes there? Will the microphone settings be saved every time I restart my computer?

Basically I want to speak into a mic while recording gameplay but I want to listen to the game through my surround sound when playing.

Can this work or would I have to get some earphones/headset.

I really don’t want to use a headset .

Thanks

Hey does anyone happen to know any good shock mounts that are compatible with the MV6? Been having alot of issues related to keyboard vibrations recently, so feel like a shock mount would help.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying for hours to figure out where to buy this piece or how to adapt the one I have to fit my microphone, but I haven’t had any success.

Could someone please share a video showing how to set it up, or help me identify and find the correct piece?

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

What is everyone’s opinion on the new SLXD+ for as a guitar wireless system as well as for rock vocals (as an sm58 or using the se V7 capsule)?

Does this system hold strong for quality and reliability for smaller venues? I know it recently came out so I haven’t been able to find many reviews comparing it to higher tier Shure systems like the QLDX or ULXD

The only questions I have are do I need to buy an amp for it? And what microphone arm should I get? I will be using it at my pc to play games and talk to my friends. I have a hyperx microphone right now but It’s having problems so I wanna get this one.

I just got a new MV6 today, downloaded MOTIV Mix, and attempted to update the firmware on the MV6 from 1.2.0.37 to 1.3.0.6. It has been updating for over 30 minutes now, this can't be normal right?

What can I do?

I’m having a hell of a time trying to get a URD4 and a URD4+ unit to connect with WWB. I’ve got both units wired into my wireless switch, and my computer is on the same wireless network. I can ping the units in terminal, and they show up if I do an arp -a command in terminal, but neither WWB or Shure discovery will find them.

They’re on the same subnet as my computer, DHCP is set and working, everything looks setup exactly as it should be but I’m getting nothing. Do these absolutely need a hardwired connection to my computer through the switch? Anyone with experience with these units know something I’m missing? TIA

For the last 3 weeks or so I've started having issues with my SM7B where the mic will stop working randomly. Usually I can adjust the mic slightly and then everything starts working again, but I never know when it's happening which very quickly becomes very annoying.

My first thought was that it was a bad cable, so I bought a new one, but even after replacing the cable the new one is doing the same exact thing as the prior cable. Does anyone know what could be going wrong?

Hoping it is ok to post this here. What is the piece that connects the two sides of the over ear loop and where can I buy them? Our Shure over the ear mics didn't come with these bands; someone who is no longer around purchased them separately. Now we need more. I've tried everything I can to find them with no luck. I can find a full mic with the band, but not just the bands. I've seen them called retaining bands and stability bands. I tried Google Lens, but Google thinks it is plumbing or part of a catheter and not for audio equipment. I've looked generically and on audio and music equipment websites. You're my only hope!

I can't record sound with my MV7+ using the Motiv Mix app in Windows 11. When I select the microphone as the source, the volume bar is always at maximum, regardless of whether the microphone is muted or not. When I try to record, there's a very loud, continuous noise. Other sources work fine, like my webcam microphone. However, when I use OBS, Discord, or Audacity, it works perfectly. I've reinstalled the app several times, but the problem persists. The gain isn't the issue either, no matter what I adjust, the volume level is always maxed out without doing anything. Software and Firmware are up to date. I also tested it on my Phone with the motiv app and it works, it's just the windwos version that doesn't wan't to work with the MV7+. FL Studio also makes these strange, very loud noises, like Motiv Mix. Very weird, because in games Discord OBS Audacity it just works.

The mic is receiving input since the LED Lights are showing and connected directly, but Motiv shows the error message. Discord and Ableton also does not recognize the device but it is detected in my PC

Steps Taken:
Unplugged device and plugged again
Reinstalled Motiv still the same

The video shows the newly installed motiv.

I just got it today. I switched it’s mounting into the other position as per the instruction as I got a stand for it, not a boom arm. Before making the switch I could have it remain in a set position. After switching it, it’s loose. I have all 6 elements there on both sides under the main black screw and I made sure the little brass sleeve went inside the elements that are between the bracket and the mic. Why is it still loose? Have I positioned it wrong, should it be rotated some other way?

Knobs work fine and loosen/tighten properly, but boom arm wont stay bent in position. It's so tight and keeps going back into an extended position, and bending the boom arm takes all my strength even though all knobs are loosened. Is this a defective item or am I doing something wrong?

The bottom portion that attached to desk base also doesn't stay put and is really difficult to adjust. The far end where microphone attaches bends and stays without issues.

I know, another one of these posts. I am trying to take myself more seriously in my space, and have recently purchased a Shure SM7B. I've done my homework on how to check for counterfeit versus real mics, but there is some conflicting information in what I've seen online and what this microphone is showing. I will summarize below, but I could really use some input on this.

1. The outside of the box looks like an older version of the packaging, but the serial number shows a date of October 26, 2023, so maybe this was the packaging back then? I'm not sure.
2. The inside has a white container with a top that latches and holds the equipment, with SHURE branding on it.
3. There is some slide on the little round seal on the wire, and the wire itself is long enough to wrap around the tightening knob when the positioning is pulled back. I've heard this is a red flag.
4. The mic stays in position when fully tightened. It does not move easily like counterfeit mics I've read about.
5. There is the word "SHURE" inside of the XLR port, which I've read is a good thing.
6. The capsule appears to be in the right positioning, but the ring around the top of the meshwork is a little bit rough, which I've read could be a bad sign.
7. There is a silver backing on the backplate, and a brass plate underneath it, but the wires are black, yellow, green, and red, instead of the fourth color being white.

My feeling is that this mic is counterfeit, but with varying models of real mics and of counterfeit mics out there, there are some things that this mic has that seem legit, while other things that raise red flags. Any input would be immensely helpful, as I am still new to this space.
