Shure Announces MoveMic 88+ Wireless Microphone with Four Selectable Polar Patterns for Videography and Field Recording

Shure unveiled the MoveMic 88+ Wireless Stereo Microphone, a wireless microphone system designed for location recording. Building upon the existing MV88 Digital Stereo Condenser Microphone, the new MoveMic 88+ is an all-in-one solution that delivers broadcast-quality audio with improved portability. Featuring stereo, cardioid, bi-directional, and mid-side selectable polar patterns, it adapts to any recording environment and production needs.
 

Shure promotes the new MoveMic 88+ Wireless Microphone as the first-of-its-kind wireless direct-to-phone stereo microphone with selectable polar patterns. Building upon the success of Shure’s MV88 Video Kit, the new wireless mic empowers creators and videographers to record audio and video separately, ensuring the best microphone placement without sacrificing the perfect shot.

“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.”

 

With four selectable polar patterns, users can customize the direction of audio capture to perform in various scenarios: from two-way interviews, recording in the field, and even acoustic performances. In nature documentaries, a filmmaker must stay distant to avoid disturbing wildlife but still needs to get access to high-quality audio. With the new MoveMic 88+ wireless microphone, users can place it close to the action — such as near a bird’s nest — capturing all the audio nuances for an immersive experience while still getting the exact shot they want.

The MoveMic 88+ offers flexible mounting options by attaching to most popular tripods or mic stands using the two included 5/8” or cold shoe mic clips and can even 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 for an even more lightweight and portable rig. 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.

Using the Shure MOTIV apps or the MoveMic Receiver, users can also fine-tune audio recordings with gain, EQ, presets, high-pass filter, mute, and noise reduction controls. Specifications for the MoveMic 88+ detail up to 100 feet of wireless range, eight hours of battery life, built-in headphone monitoring, and convenient USB-C charging. The Shure MOTIV Video app allows video recording or live streaming directly within the app.

The MoveMic 88+ Wireless Stereo Microphone is available now for $299 USD and €349 EUR and includes a cold shoe mic clip, 5/8” mic clip, and USB-C charging cable. The MoveMic 88+ Receiver Kit is also available now for $449 USD and €519 EUR and includes the MoveMic Receiver in addition to a cold shoe mic clip, 5/8” mic clip, two USB-C charging cables, and 3.5mm coil cable.
