On March 4, 2025, Shure introduced the MoveMic 88+, a wireless stereo microphone that revolutionizes mobile audio with selectable polar patterns. Based on the success of the MV88 digital stereo condenser microphone and MV88+ video kit, the MoveMic 88+ allows creatives and video producers to record professional audio and video separately without compromise.
-
Wireless freedom: Enables high-quality audio recording while moving or from different positions.
-
Selectable polar patterns: Customize audio capture with different modes for diverse recording situations.
-
Variable DSP: Fine-tune audio capture with features such as gain, EQ, presets and noise reduction via the Shure MOTIV apps or receiver.
-
Long range and battery life: Up to 30 meters range and eight hours of battery life with convenient USB-C charging.
Flexibility and adaptability
The MoveMic 88+ offers four selectable polar patterns:
-
Stereo: Adjustable from 60° to 135°, ideal for ambient recordings.
-
Mono (cardioid polar pattern): Focused recording of sound sources directly in front of the microphone.
-
Mono (figure-of-eight pattern): Captures sound sources in front of and behind the microphone, suitable for interviews.
-
Raw center side: Enables flexible post-processing of the stereo width.
This versatility makes the microphone ideal for various applications such as two-person interviews, field recording and acoustic concerts. Videographers can place the microphone close to the action to capture all the audio nuances for an immersive experience while not compromising the perfect shot.
Integration with Shure MOTIV Apps
To optimize workflow, the MoveMic 88+ can be paired directly with a smartphone via the Shure MOTIV Apps without the need for the MoveMic Receiver – for an even lighter and more portable rig. The Shure MOTIV Video app also enables direct recording of content and live streaming to platforms such as Facebook and YouTube.
Practical mounting options
The MoveMic 88+ can be attached to most common tripods or microphone stands using the two 3/8″ or hot shoe microphone clamps supplied and even works as a handheld microphone. This flexibility allows creative professionals to use the microphone optimally in various scenarios.
