MV5 

Digital Condenser Microphone

General Description

The Shure MV5 microphone connects directly to a computer or mobile device over a USB or Lightning connection. Ideal for

home recording or podcasting, the MV5 features preset voice and instrument record modes for fast, easy configuration.

Features

Convenient, Compact Design: This sleek and durable microphone mounts on the MV5 desktop stand or any stand with

a 1/4" threaded adapter.

Plug and Play: TheMV5automaticallybecomestheactiveaudiodevicewhenpluggedintoaUSBorLightningcompati

ble device.

Preset Modes: Minimize setup time with preset DSP modes designed to adjust your gain, equalization and compression

for a variety of applications.

Quick Setup

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

The Green status LED indicates a successful connection.

Note: When using apps like Voice Memo, the LED will not light until Record is engaged.

Confirm that the MV5 is the selected audio device.

Most computers and mobile devices automatically detect the MV5 and assign it as the primary audio device. If your

computer settings default to another device, open the sound control panel and select the MV5. To quickly verify that the

device is recognized, plug headphones into the MV5 audio output and play an audio track. If you can hear sound, the

microphone is functioning properly.

Note: When the MV5 is assigned as the audio device, all monitoring and playback from the recording software goes to the headphone output of the

MV5.

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

Iftheaudioistooquietorcausesdistortion,gaincanbemanuallyconfigured.However,themodestypicallydonotre

quire additional gain adjustments. Refer to the "Adjusting Microphone Level" topic in this guide for details.

In your recording application, select the MV5 as the input source.

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

Mode Application Characteristics

Voice

Use for speech or vocals

in podcasting or musical

applications

Equalization to emphasize clarity and fullness, and gentle compression to keep

levels consistent. A de-esser reduces sibilance (the harsh sound that occurs when

words with an "S" are spoken).

plications

Transparent compression to smooth out volume spikes and bring quiet passages

forward. Equalization emphasizes detail and gives an overall natural sound.

Flat Suited for any application A completely unprocessed signal (no equalization or compression settings used).

Adds flexibility when processing the audio after recording.

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.

Placement

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 microphone placement and settings to find what works best.

Podcast and Voice Recording

Set the microphone to the Voice mode. Speak directly into the front of the microphone, 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additionalgainadjust

ments if necessary.

Music, Singing, and Acoustic Instruments

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

phone placement. Start with Instrument mode for best results.

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. Make additional gain adjustments if necessary.

Bands and Louder Sources

To record a band with drums, amplified instruments, or any other loud sources, start with Instrument mode for best results. Aim

the microphone towards the group at a distance of 6 to 15 feet (1.83 to 4.6 m). Placement of the microphone depends on the

size of the room, number of people, and instrument volume. If possible, walk around the room and listen to find where it sounds

best. Make additional gain adjustments if necessary.

For a single electric guitar amplifier, aim the microphone towards the center of the speaker at a distance of 0 to 18 inches (0 to

45 cm).

Additional Tips

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

www.shure.com for more information.

Adjusting Microphone Level

Microphonelevel(gain)typicallydoesnotneedadjustmentwhenusingtheappropriatepresetmode.However,ifyouheardis

tortion or the audio is too low, adjust the microphone level in the Audio or Sound control panel of your computer or recording

device.

Keep the following in mind:

Set the microphone level before adjusting headphone volume.

The headphone volume does not affect the signal level sent to the computer.

Use the thumbwheel on the microphone to adjust headphone volume to a comfortable level. Do not change microphone

gain to adjust the headphone volume.

Adjusting Headphone Level

The headphone monitoring level is affected by the device and the computer settings level. Raise your computer volume and

easily adjust headphones through the MV5 thumbwheel.

Accessing the Control Panel

Windows

Open the sound control panel and select the Recording tab.

Open the Shure MV5 device.

Under the Levels tab, adjust the gain level using the slider.

Mac

Open the Audio Midi Settings panel.

Select the Shure MV5 device.

Click on Input to adjust the gain using the slider.

Input Meter Level

If your digital audio workstation or recording software has input meters, adjust the microphone level so it peaks between -12

and -6 dB. Otherwise, simply listen to the audio to make sure it is loud enough and not distorting.

Peak Levels

The target range for peak levels on a typical meter is between -12 and -6 dB.

Listening Through Headphones

Theheadphonejackprovidesanequalblendofthedirectmicrophonesignalandaudioplaybackfromthecomputer.Thisal

lows you to conveniently adjust the headphone volume for both with one control, the thumbwheel on the MV5. To adjust the

amount of playback audio relative to the direct microphone signal, use the computer or DAW mixer settings.

Tip: When first connecting the microphone to your computer, make sure to raise the volume level in the sound control panel of

the computer for a strong audio signal. Then adjust headphone level for comfortable monitoring.

Sampling Rate and Bit Depth

Sample Rate and Bit Depth settings are found in a drop down menu in the audio or sound control panel of your computer. You

can adjust these variables to fit your needs. Select a lower sample rate for podcast recording, when it is important to have a

smaller file for easy download. Select a higher sample rate for music and more dynamic recordings.

Tip: Record at a higher sample rate and bounce down to an M4A for a file with the highest sound quality at a manageable size.

Tip for PC users: Make sure that the sample rate and bit depth microphone settings, found in the sound control panel of the

computer, match with the sample rate and bit depth selected in your software.

Audio is too low Check the computer sound control panel settings. When first connecting the MV5 to your

computer, make sure to raise the computer volume level.

Audio sounds bad Check the sound control panel of the computer to ensure that the MV5 is fully plugged in

and recognized.

Audio is distorted Use the audio meter to ensure that volume peaks are within the target range. If level is

reaching the red peak indicator of the input meter, turn the gain down.

Audio sounds unnatural or

jittery

Make sure that the sample rate and bit depth microphone settings, found in the sound

control panel of the computer, are consistent with the sample rate and bit depth selected

in your software.
