Shure’s MV88 adds USB-C connectivity

With launch of the Shure MV88 USB-C stereo microphone, mobile content creators can instantly record professional-grade audio. Modified to plug directly into a phone or tablet, the revamped MV88 USB-C mixes the original stereo condenser mic with a USB-C connector for recording on the go. The MV88 USB-C pairs straightforward connectivity with simple-to-customise audio processing found in the MV7+ and MV6 microphones.

With Auto Level Mode, the MV88 continuously adjusts gain in real time to ensure audio records at the correct level, whereas Real-time Denoiser intelligently removes unwanted background noise. Paired with four selectable polar patterns – adjustable stereo, mono cardioid, mono bidirectional and raw mid-side – the mic can be configured to suit any recording scenario. Advanced controls including microphone gain, a five-band EQ, limiter, compression and a high-pass filter are accessible through the MOTIV Video and MOTIV Audio mobile apps, in addition to L+MOTIV Mix on desktop. The apps offer presets tailored for different recording scenarios, such as EQ, compression, stereo width adjustment and real-time noise reduction.
