Getting started is as simple as plug and play, but you’ll need software to deep dive into any settings. I’m not a huge fan of the Motiv Mix software recommended on the box. Before I could download it, Shure required my full name, city and state, postal code, and email address for updates regarding the software, which seemed unnecessary.
The software gives you the option to switch to manual gain, adjust a tone slider from Dark to Bright, with Natural in the middle, and turn on or off the denoiser and plosive reducer, as well as adjust a high pass filter for background noise. There are also settings for the monitor and mute if you choose to record with Motiv Mix. Nothing groundbreaking here, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to access these settings otherwise. I wish there were just knobs on the mic.
Can You Hear Me?
As far as I can tell, the settings you change will stick even if…
