Shure MOTIV MV51 Large Diaphragm USB Condenser Overview
Record high-quality audio on the go with your computer or iOS mobile device using the silver Shure MOTIV MV51, a USB condenser microphone with a large-diaphragm capsule element, a durable all-metal construction, and an integrated kickstand that's compatible with any standard mic stand. Use it to record the spoken word, sung vocals, and acoustic instruments.
The MOTIV MV51 features a large, 1" condenser cardioid capsule for clear and detailed audio. The mic focuses on capturing the sound directly in front of the mic, with minimal background noise.
