Shure MVX2U Interface Review / Demo / Explained
Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review the new Shure MVX2u. This is the smallest interface I've reviewed and it offers +60dB of gain as well as Digital Signal Processing such as EQ, Compression, and Limiting. The preamp is on the noisier side of things and as of early-September 2023 there is an issue with low frequency sounds increasing the noise floor of the device.
