Shure has announced the debut of the new MoveMic 88+, a wireless direct-to-phone stereo microphone with four selectable polar patterns that builds upon the MV88 digital stereo condenser microphone and MV88+ video kit.
“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,” says Paul Crognale, associate director, Global Marketing at Shure. “Shure’s new wireless video microphone is perfect for traveling 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 four selectable polar patterns — stereo, cardioid, bi-directional, and raw mid-side — allow users to customize the direction of audio capture in various scenarios such as two-way interviews, recording in the field and acoustic performances.
The MoveMic 88+ offers mounting options by attaching to most popular tripods or mic stands using the two included 5/8-inch or cold shoe mic clips and can also function as a handheld microphone. The device pairs directly with a mobile phone via the Shure MOTIV apps without needing the MoveMic receiver. For additional compatibility, the MoveMic 88+ 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
Customizable DSP facilitates the fine-tuning of recordings with gain, EQ, presets, high-pass filter, mute, and noise reduction controls via the Shure MOTIV apps or receiver. Stated wireless range is up to 100 feet of wireless range, with eight hours of battery life. Also onboard are built-in headphone monitoring and USB-C charging.
To showcase the new microphone’s capabilities, Shure collaborated with award-winning filmmaker Emiliano Ruprah for a behind-the-scenes look at how the MoveMic 88+ performs in challenging environments in a documentary filmed in the remote Calakmul jungle.
“Sound of a place is the first and most important way you can transport an audience to a difference space or location,” says Ruprah. “With the microphone away from the crew and myself, we could allow nature to take its course and film animal behavior from a distance. I can do it all, record video and configure the mic in the MOTIV Video app. The MoveMic 88+ was exactly what I needed.”
