Shure’s new MV88 microphone turns your smartphone into a professional audio recorder

New device ideal for podcasters, videographers, content creators, field recordists, and musicians

Shure has unveiled its new MV88+ Video Kit, featuring a digital stereo condenser microphone that provides content creators with an all-in-one solution for capturing ‘professional-quality’ recordings on-the-go. 

The kit also includes a Manfrotto® PIXI tripod, phone clamp, and mount as well as iOS and USB-C cables for next-level compatibility and connectivity.

Built on the classic design of the MV88 iOS Digital Stereo Condenser Microphone, this latest addition to the Company’s MOTIV line of digital microphones and portable recording solutions, is being targeted at podcasters, videographers, content creators, field recordists, and musicians.

“The MV88+ Video Kit provides multiple configurations straight out of the box,” said Matt Engstrom, senior category director, global product management at Shure. “You shouldn’t have to buy half a dozen products to film a high-quality piece of video content one day, and then an audio interview or field recording the next. With the MV88+, you don’t have to. We listened to you and worked to develop a superior microphone with superior accessories. This package gives you everything you’ll need to film in your studio, on-the-go, at home—or wherever life takes you.”

Compatible with iOS and other selected devices, the MV88+ Video Kit equips you with a variety of new and improved accessories for recording on-the-go. 

Features include a convenient phone clamp and tripod stand multiplies the sort of environments you can record in. The MV88+ can also be used for standalone audio capture, replacing the need for field recordists to carry a portable audio recorder.

“The MV88+ takes into account the little things, too,” noted Engstrom. “We understand the value of efficiency and improved the design to seamlessly record with or without a protective smartphone case. The included phone mount is also compatible with your existing setup, allowing you to connect to any tripod with a ¼” connector. This empowers you to use the setup that best suits your needs. You’ll also be able to tap into the capabilities of the free Shure MOTIV Video and Audio Recording applications to access our state-of-the-art audio quality in tandem with the microphone.”

The MV88+ Video Kit retails for $249 / £199 RRP and is available for pre-order.
