Shure launches MV88 USB-C stereo microphone for mobile content creators

Shure has launched the MV88 USB-C Stereo Microphone, a compact and portable solution designed to instantly record professional-grade audio for mobile content creators. Revamping the original MV88, the new MV88 USB-C adds a USB-C connector that plugs straight into a phone or tablet.

"The original MV88 earned a loyal following for its simplicity and sound quality," said Eduardo Valdes, associate vice president of global marketing and product management at Shure. 

"With the new MV88 USB-C, we’ve elevated reliable, professional audio. Just connect, and you’re ready to record on the go. There’s no need to worry about pairing, range, dropouts, or battery life — the MV88 USB-C delivers straightforward connectivity paired with the high-powered, simple-to-customise audio processing found in our MV7+ and MV6 microphones. Creators can focus on their craft and leave the audio excellence to us."

With Auto Level Mode, the MV88 continuously adjusts gain in real time to ensure audio is never too loud or too quiet. There’s no need to set levels manually, the microphone does it for you. Pair that with Real-time Denoiser, which removes unwanted background noise for clean, professional sound in any environment.

Paired with four selectable polar patterns — adjustable stereo, mono cardioid, mono bi-directional, and raw mid-side — users can configure the mic to suit any recording scenario.

The MV88 USB-C also gives creators the flexibility to shape their sound with ease. Five quick-start presets are available, alongside advanced controls like microphone gain, five-band EQ, limiter, compression, and a high-pass filter, which are all accessible through the MOTIV Video and MOTIV Audio mobile apps, as well as MOTIV Mix on desktop. 

The apps offer quick-start presets tailored for different recording scenarios, plus advanced tools like EQ, compression, stereo width adjustment, and real-time noise reduction.
