About the MOTIV MV5C

This unidirectional microphone will work great in Windows and Mac, and on multiple conference calling software programs like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Facetime, and more.

If you are podcasting or live streaming, the MV5C can be ready to capture your voice. You can also do it without the microphone being in the shot.

The MV5C upgraded the voice intelligibility from the MV5. The new internal electronics also help with reverberation and speaker echo.

You can control the microphone easily from the LED panel on top of the MV5C. Adjust the input, output, headphone volume, and muting of the microphone right on the unit.

You can also plug in your headphones at the base of the MV5C for easier cord management.

The Shure MV5C comes with a desktop stand, and USB cables to connect to your computer.
