Shure unveils MoveMic 88+ wireless microphone

New from Shure is the movemic 88+ wireless stereo microphone, a first-of-its-kind wireless direct-to-phone stereo microphone with selectable polar patterns. Building on the success of Shure’s MV88 digital stereo condenser microphone and MV88+ video kit, the new wireless mic for video is said to empower creators and videographers to record exceptional audio and video separately, ensuring the best microphone placement without sacrificing the perfect shot.

“The MoveMic 88+ gives creators complete freedom to capture professional-quality audio wirelessly, whether they’re recording in the field, working on a short film, reporting news or creating social video content,” said Paul Crognale, associate director, global marketing at Shure. “Shure’s new wireless video microphone is perfect for travelling light, quick to set up, discrete and easy to use and allows for creativity in any situation, giving creators the video they want with the audio they need”.

The MoveMic 88+ takes versatility to a whole new level. With four selectable polar patterns – stereo, cardioid, bidirectional, and raw mid-side – users can customise the direction of audio capture to perform in various scenarios: from two-way interviews, recording in the field and even acoustic performances.

The wireless mic offers flexible mounting options, by attaching to most popular tripods or mic stands using the two included 5/8in or cold shoe mic clips, and can even function as a handheld microphone. To streamline workflow, the device pairs directly with a mobile phone via the Shure Motiv apps without needing the MoveMic receiver for an even more lightweight and portable rig. For additional compatibility, it can also be paired to the MoveMic receiver and connect via USB-C or 3.5mm to cameras, computers, and mobile phones to support third-party mobile apps.
