An Interface and Activator in One Device

The Shure MVX2u is two prime products in one device. First, it’s an in-line mic activator with +60dB of gain that can add new life to dynamic mics with lower volume outputs. Secondly, the MVX2u is also an XLR-to-USB audio interface with +48V that can power condenser mics as well. Sweetwater studio engineers agree that the Shure MVX2u makes a perfect interface for streamers as it also features an Auto Level mode that makes any streaming audio instantly consistent, plus its 3.5mm headphone jack provides convenient monitoring with zero latency. Throw in configurable DSP via the ShurePlus MOTIV app, and you have one seriously value-packed product in the Shure MVX2u.

Reviews

Great service...and follow up!
I can't say enough about how easy it is to find what you need at Sweetwater. I was helping my daughter get her home studio up and running, and a quick search led to the perfect missing piece to complete the audio interface. A small part, but I was impressed by the selection, pricing, and personal follow-up from the Sweetwater team.

You can't do better.

This unit is easy and convenient to use. Really simplifies recording and rehearsing vocals with my Mac.

Sounds great and very convenient for desktop setup
I love this interface - it's very tiny and turns any microphone into a usb microphone. The app offers enough customization for my taste, and I can confirm that once you set it up, the settings live on the device (configured on a windows desktop and the settings remain on device when connected to my macbook).

I've been using a Focusrite 2i2 1st gen for a couple years with my se7 small condenser for my Workplace and Zoom calls, but it is clunky on my desk and requires an XLR cable to connect. The MVX2U is exactly what I needed: a very compact setup with tons of gain on tap allowing me to position the mic about 2 feet away so it's not in frame on my call, but is way clearer and louder than my macbook pro's onboard mic. I watched a review complaining about relatively high noise compared to larger desktop solutions, and it is definitely overblown. Considering the compact and convenient size of this interface, there is simply no contest from desktop interfaces. Also, for practical purposes in online meetings with a ton of post-processing to your microphone signal, it is head and shoulders over the average setup.

Highly recommend!
Works Great!
The gratuitous included software is a bit 'meh' but otherwise it a high quality product.
