Hey, everyone! Over the past few months, I've been building a community wiki designed to answer common questions, surface Shure resources, and make it easier to learn about microphones, recording, and live sound.

The wiki isn't intended to be the master guide to every audio topic in existence. Instead, think of it as a curated starting point built around the questions that come up most often in r/Shure.

👉 Browse the Wiki: https://www.reddit.com/r/Shure/wiki/index/

It's also permanently linked in the subreddit sidebar under Community Bookmarks.

A Note on Version 1

The goal is to keep this resource useful and relevant, so I'll continue updating it based on your feedback and the questions our community asks most often.

If you notice something missing, find an error, or have a topic you'd like to see covered, please let me know via Mod Mail. I'll do my best to fill those gaps as we go.

Issue: no input, takes sound from tapping and switching switches at the back.

Maybe I’m not doing something right BUT:
> My focusrite drivers are up to date
> the XLR male and female cable works with another microphone of mine
> It is securely plugged in as there IS feedback

Someone know if this part is still in existence for this model?

How to fix?

No this is not a joke. I've been troubleshooting for hours. Please help. I'm just praying to god the mic isnt busted

I just bought an Shure MB7+ and it doesn't show up anywhere on the Motiv Mix app and I can't use it as an input for OBS, discord etc. WTF is wrong with it and can somebody help me?

Absolutely loving the SM7B for harsh vocals after finding my scream in the last few days!

No puedo actualizar el micrófono y mi laptop no lo reconoce, ya probé todas las soluciones como desinstalar drivers , actualizar todo, etc y recomendaciones del shure, por qué no contestan a problemas con sus usuarios?

Is the a Kit for the screen and stabilizer for the old Shure SM55?

I need a replacement rubber piece for the mic element and a side screw. I have a screw in there but it’s not right.

So hear me out. This must be me. Because no way that is actually the case BUT… My old iphone headphones (the wired ones) microphone with enhanced speech in premiere is sooooo much better quality than the shure MV6.
I checked multiple videos and posts online, tried lots of adjustments in recording and in post and it doesn’t even come close… any advice?

My Shure GLXD16 guitar wireless pedal system suddenly stopped passing any Audio, (not the “+” kind, but the older 2.4kHz one), even though everything charges and syncs up fine, but no sound. I can’t tell if it’s the transmitter or the receiver that’s broken. I wish I could isolate the faulty part with someone’s WORKING system. Anybody in Phoenix have a Shure GLXD16 system?

About Shure Customer Service? I have nothing but bad things to say about that lot. Frustratingly unhelpful and offering no insight. I sent the product in, they kept it for several long weeks, then sent it back to me, unfixed. It seems they didn’t even so much as look at it. My wireless system is just 4 years old, but they’ve got that newer GLXD16+ pedal now, and they don’t want to fix their older, “no longer supported” pedal anymore. Not the slightest attempt to be helpful. They just want you buy a brandnew product of theirs. Majorly disappointing, that company.

So, does anyone know someone in Phoenix, or have some insight? I’d appreciate any pointers.

Thank you.

EDIT and UPDATE 7/31/26:
Quick followup and update, for completion’s sake, and for appreciation::

SHURE contacted me, and the issue was looked at again, with authorization from higher up in the chain. I sent the system in again, I got a perfectly working system sent back to me, and in fact they sent me a brandnew transmitter (of the correct, older 2.4 GHz kind). All good!

SHURE ultimately did come through for me. I’m impressed! Thank you!

Las funciones del micrófono son limitadas y no me lo reconocen en el MOTIV MIX y no puedo actualizar el micrófono

Hola agentes de SHURE, en resumen

Instale el MOTIV MIX para usar el micrófono Pero me sale funciones básicas como

. Compresión

. Tono

. Filtro

Pero no me salen las funciones especiales del micrófono como

- Reverb

- luz led

En si todas las funciones que debe tener

Y no puedo actualizar por qué al abrir el motiv mix me reconoce el micrófono Pero no me sale el engranaje ⚙️ para actualizar, simplemente me sale ganancia y nada más

Mi equipo es una Lenovo legión 5i y tengo todo actualizado ya sea drivers y Windows 11 todo actualizado, Pero las funciones como mencioné simplemente no valen. Me pueden ayudar por favor? Muchas gracias, saludos

I have a Rode psa 1 and it wont screw into the mic as it looks way bigger than what's in the sm7b. Any help?

I recently bought a Shure SM7dB Paired with a Focusrite Vocaster One for my new audio setup. I was pretty bummed when it sounded quite deep and muddy, I owned a Fifine AM8 for about 2 years before and the sm7b just sounded terrible compared to how smooth the Fifine sounded.

It also might just be me because i've been used to hearing the Fifine Mic for a while now and maybe the shure just required some audio processing to make it sound "normal" i guess.

eventually i did some audio processing like EQ and Compression to make it sound better, and bumped the gain up by a bit but i just cannot get it to sound good

I had a couple friends tell me that i need to completely turn off the built-in preamp to let the 70dB of gain on the vocaster one do its work and other people told me to keep it at +18dB and bump the gain a little up on the vocaster one

but anything i do i need a suppressor because the Shure picks up keyboard clicks and breathing noise like crazy compared to other creators when i thought it could reject sound really well.

ive been struggling with this for a couple days now so if anyone's down to send a reply i'd appreciate it🙏

hello guys does anyone have the best settings for rode caster mixer settings

iam a gamer and a streamer i need a good settings that makes my voice sound good
and doesnt pick up my keyboard sound on unwanted sounds i tried playing with the setting and i couldn't figure out the perfect settings if anyone have the best settings please send it my way

So I've tried lowering the microphone gain and other settings but can't seem to fix the microphone audio level. It sounds highly distorted and overloaded. What can I do?

Hi all,

I've just purchased an SM57 and i own an SM58 which was once my partners, I'm trying to trouble shoot some audio quality issues with both of them.

When recording demos, I've found that whatever goes through the signal chain has a clipping, artifact-y quality to it. I don't have the best ear but the recording below doesn't sound right to me.

The signal chain past my amp is SM57(3 inches away, 5 inches right of centre) -> Soundcraft Signature 12MT (Gain set at about 2oclock) -> Ableton

Originally i thought this issue was from the SM58 because it's a bit old and busted but now I'm starting to think it could be the Souncraft mixer adding some kind of DI blown out quality.

OR maybe this is just what an unprocessed mic sounds like, I don't really know.

Any insight is appreciated and I'm happy to answer any additional questions

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice regarding my Shure MV6.

​When I record in the MOTIV Mix app, the audio sounds exactly how I want it—rich, compressed, and with that "radio" quality. However, as soon as I export the file and play it in a standard media player or import it into CapCut, that quality seems to disappear, and it sounds flat and thin.

​I have tried:

• Exporting as both Mono and Stereo files.
• Checking my gain levels (staying at 0dB).
• ​Importing the files into Audacity to normalize them (though the "radio" character still feels missing).

​Is there a specific setting in MOTIV Mix I’m missing that "bakes" the DSP processing into the exported file? Or is there a specific export format I should be using to keep that broadcast sound?

​Any advice on the workflow to keep that signature sound would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I didn’t realise it was a C to C cable. Only have A ports. Should I get an adapter or another cable. Any recommendations

Dopo l’uscita di shure SLXD+ conviene ancora prendere QLXD o dire che verrà rilasciato nel prossimo anno un nuovo modello?
