Quick Setup

The MV51 is compatible with most devices that have a USB or Lightning connector.

Connect the microphone to a computer or mobile device. Use the appropriate cable (USB or Lightning).

Drivers will be installed automatically. The touch panel illuminates to indicate a successful connection.

Open the sound control panel. Select the Shure MV51 driver.

Raise the level on both the MV51 product and the host computer for proper monitoring.

Confirm that the MV51 is the selected audio device.

Plug headphones into the MV51 device audio output and play an audio track. If you can hear sound, the microphone is

functioning properly.

If your computer settings default to another device, open the sound control panel and select the MV51 device.

Adjust the headphone volume on the Shure MV51 device driver.

Open the MV51 driver from the sound control panel and raise the headphone volume from the playback or output tab.

Use the MODE button to select the preset mode that fits your application.

If the audio is too quiet or causes distortion, adjust the gain manually. Refer to the "Adjusting Microphone Level" topic in

this guide for more details.

In your recording application, select the MV51 as the input source.

See your software user guide for information on assigning input sources.

Applications

This section suggests microphone placement for typical use cases. Keep in mind that there are many effective ways to record

a given source. Experiment with the following microphone placement and settings to find what works best.

Podcast and Voice Recording

Set the microphone to the Speech mode. Speak directly into the front of the microphone at a distance of 2-12 inches (5-30 cm)

away. Speaking closer to the microphone results in more bass response, similar to voices on a radio broadcast. Make addition-

al gain adjustments if necessary.

Typical position for speech

Acoustic Instruments and Music

To capture acoustic sources, such as singing, acoustic guitar, soft percussion, or other musical instruments, use a close micro-

phone placement.

Aim the microphone directly at the sound source. For a single source, such as a string instrument or a vocalist, place the mi-

crophone 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) away. For a small group or a performer who is singing and playing an instrument simul-

taneously, use a distance of 2 to 10 feet (0.6m to 3 m). Placing the microphone farther away results in more ambient room

sound.

Set the microphone to the Acoustic or Singing mode and make additional gain adjustments if necessary.

Bands and Loud Sources

To record a band with drums or amplified instruments, aim the microphone towards the group at a distance of 6 to 15 feet (1.8

to 4.6 m). Placement of the microphone depends on the size of the room, number of people, and instrument volume. If possi-

ble, walk around the room and listen to find where it sounds best.

For other loud sources, such as an electric guitar amplifier, aim the microphone at the sound source from 0-18 inches (0-45

cm) away.

Set the microphone to the Band mode and make additional gain adjustments if necessary.

Shure Incorporated

7/25

Bypass EQ and Compression (Flat)

To record a signal without any processing, set the microphone to the Flat mode. This mode is appropriate for any application

when you want to bypass equalization and compression presets, and is ideal when applying signal processing to the recording

at a later time.

Additional Tips

Shure offers additional educational publications on recording techniques for specific instruments and applications. Visit

shure.com for more information.

The MOTIV App

Use the MOTIV app to change microphone settings and to record, edit, and share audio. The device stores the most recently

used settings for quick setup each time you record.

Tip: Turn on Airplane Mode and Do Not Disturb to prevent interruptions to the recording caused by phone calls, text messages, or alerts.

Tap Device on the navigation bar to access the device settings tab.

Device Setup

Microphone Settings

①Connected Mic Status Displays the name of the connected MOTIV microphone.

②Input Meter Displays the strength of the input signal and whether that signal is mono or stereo. The loudest peaks should

reach within the target range (indicated by the shaded region between -12 and 0 dB).

③Microphone Gain/Monitoring Adjust the gain slider to match the volume of the sound source. Tap the headphone icon to

turn on the input monitor when making adjustments.

④Custom Presets Tap the caret to quickly access your saved presets. Or tap the Save button to save current settings as a

new custom preset. See Custom Presets for more information.

⑤Preset Modes Select a mode to set stereo width, equalization, and compression for specific applications. Refer to the "Pre-

set Modes" topic for more details.

⑥Polar Pattern Selection Swipe to choose between Stereo, Mono Cardioid, Mono Bidirectional or Raw Mid-Side pick-up pat-

terns. Then adjust the width of the stereo microphone pickup area.

Tip: Consider the location of the microphone and the size of the sound source when adjusting the width. For example, a large

orchestra or ensemble recording will benefit from a wide stereo image to achieve increased separation between instruments.

Other applications, such as speech, benefit from a narrow width for improved clarity with rejection of ambient (room) sound.

⑦Advanced Features First select a preset mode, then use the advanced controls to fine tune your audio recording and dial in

your sound. Your settings will be retained in the microphone. See "Advanced Features," "Wind Noise Reduction" and "Left-

Right Channel Swap" for more information on how these features work.

Preset Modes

Five selectable modes optimize settings for gain, stereo width, equalization, and compression. Set the microphone level and try

the modes to find which sounds best. Preset modes can affect the strength of the input signal, so adjust the microphone level

as needed after changing presets.

Mode Application Characteristics

Speech

speech Narrow stereo width to reject background noise, equalization that emphasizes

clarity and fullness, and gentle compression.

Singing

solo or group vocal per-

formances

Medium stereo width with subtle equalization to add richness and clarity for a

natural sound.

Flat any An unprocessed signal (no equalization or compression settings used). Adds

flexibility when processing the audio after recording.

Acousti

acoustic instruments and

quiet music

Medium stereo width with transparent compression to smooth out volume spikes

and bring out quiet passages. The equalizer setting emphasizes detail and an

overall natural sound.

Shure Incorporated

10/25

Mode Application Characteristics

Loud

live performance and

louder sources

Wide stereo to increase separation between sources. Equalization further im-

proves definition by reducing frequencies that can make the instrumentation

sound crowded.

Custom Presets

Create and save custom presets to quickly access frequently used mic settings.

Start with the preset mode that best suits your application needs.

Adjust advanced settings, like compression, for clarity and consistency.

Tap Save to rename and save your new custom preset. The original preset will remain available.

The new custom preset is added to your list.

To access saved presets:

Tap the caret (arrow) in the Preset row to view your list of available presets.

Tap custom preset and Apply Preset to instantly apply gain, stereo, equalization, and compression preferences.

Tip: You can save a custom preset at any point by tapping Save.

Advanced Mic Settings

After you have selected the preset mode for your application, fine tune the sound of your recording with limiter, compressor,

and equalizer controls. Your settings will be retained in the microphone when using other audio and video recording applica-

tions.

Limiter

Toggle the limiter on to set an input threshold and prevent distortion from volume peaks in your recordings.

Compressor

Choose no compression, or select light or heavy compression to control volume when your sound source is dynamic. The com-

pressor will narrow the dynamic range, which means that quiet signals are boosted and loud signals are lowered.

Wind Noise Reduction

Wind Noise Reduction engages a low-frequency cutoff filter that reduces rumble caused by environmental noise. Use the in-

cluded foam windscreen in combination with wind reduction to counteract rumble and plosives (bursts of air hitting the micro-

phone).

To further reduce wind noise, use the optional Rycote Windjammer, which fits over the included foam windscreen.
