No fetched page stated a release year, so releaseDate and specs.release are null. All 8 non-null spec values plus priceUsd verified against fetched text; exact model MV6 (SKU MV6), not a sibling. The corroborating page this record cited (https://www.canalsoundlight.com/product/shure-mv6/) is gone: on 2026-09-11 it answered 200 and redirected to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyNogueO22g, both from a residential connection and from a datacenter on another continent — so the page is gone rather than withheld from one asker. This record therefore no longer claims an independent second witness for its figures. The page the figures were read from, shure.com, still answers.
