"Shure is updating its MV88 microphone for the modern age by adding a USB-C connector for mounting directly to your smartphone. The original MV88, released in 2015, had a Lightning connector, but obviously that's not practically useful anymore. The MV88+ added USB, but relied on a cable and didn't mount directly to a phone or tablet. The MV88 USB-C brings back the original form factor with a modern connector."
"The MV88 USB-C is a condenser microphone with four polar pattern options: stereo, mono cardioid, mono bidirectional, and raw mid-side. There are also apps (MOTIV Video and MOTIV Audio on mobile, and MOTIV Mix on desktop) that offer presets, as well as manual control over gain, plus a five-band EQ, limiter, compressor, and high-pass filter for fine-tuning your sound."
"Shure is pitching the MV88 to content creators. Its $159 price puts it in the same range as many wireless lavs, like those from Rode, that might be better suited for solo vlogging. But if capturing the ambient noise of your surroundings is part of your vibe, or if you want to capture multiple subjects without mic-ing people individually, the MV88 might be appealing."
Shure updated the MV88 microphone with a USB-C connector so the mic can mount directly to modern smartphones and restore the original form factor. The MV88 USB-C is a condenser microphone with four polar patterns: stereo, mono cardioid, mono bidirectional, and raw mid-side. Mobile and desktop MOTIV apps provide presets plus manual controls including gain, five-band EQ, limiter, compressor, and high-pass filter. Auto Level Mode and Real-time Denoiser enable simple plug-and-play vlogging or livestreaming, and the included foam windscreen reduces wind and traffic noise. The $159 price targets content creators and competes with wireless lavalier options for different use cases.
