Shure has unveiled the MoveMic 88+ Wireless Stereo Microphone, a wireless direct-to-phone stereo microphone with selectable polar patterns. Building upon the MV88 Digital Stereo Condenser Microphone and MV88+ Video Kit, the new wireless mic for video is designed to empower creators and videographers to record audio and video separately, ensuring the best microphone placement without sacrificing the perfect shot.
With four selectable polar patterns – stereo, cardioid, bi-directional, 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.
Paul Crognale, associate director, global marketing at Shure, said: “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. 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+ boasts 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 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. 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.
To showcase the new microphone’s capabilities, Shure collaborated with filmmaker Emiliano Ruprah for a look at how the MoveMic 88+ performs in challenging environments. To see the documentary filmed in the remote Calakmul jungle, click here.
He said: “Sound of a place is the first and most important way you can transport an audience to a difference space or location. With the microphone away from the crew and myself, we could allow nature to take its course and film animal behaviour 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.”
