The new model has a cardioid dynamic capsule and Shure's Voice Isolation Technology to reduce unwanted noise in untreated rooms. The main improvement is greater manual control of the built-in DSP. Unlike the original version, the updated automatic gain mode lets users set the target speech level and response speed. The Real-Time Denoiser now has continuous adjustment of noise reduction strength to help preserve natural voice tone. Digital Popper Stopper remains included to reduce plosive consonants without an external pop filter.

Other features include a five-band parametric equalizer and three processing presets for speech, vocals and instruments, configured through the Shure MOTIV app. There is a touch-sensitive mute button with LED indication and a standard 3.5 mm headphone output. Plug-and-play compatibility covers Windows, macOS, iOS and Android.
