Professional-quality Sound for Podcasts, Vlogs, and More

The Shure MOTIV MV88+ Digital Stereo Microphone combines great sound and impressive versatility in a form factor that fits your on-the-go lifestyle. Now, the MV88+ is compatible with Android smartphones, making it available to more creators than ever before! This digital stereo microphone captures a clean, clear signal from almost any source. You'll find it very capable of capturing run-and-gun interviews, your next livestream, or living room recording session. With Shure's MOTIV App, you get powerful DSP and can adjust the microphone's mid-side capsule for whatever environment you're in. Plus, the MV88+ comes with a tripod, phone clamp, and a shoe-mounted mic clip.

Get more with the MOTIV App

One of the coolest things about Shure’s MOTIV series hardware is the flexible onboard DSP. While some devices let you recall multiple presets from their control panels, the ShurePlus MOTIV app lets you access their entire DSP engine. From the ShurePlus MOTIV app, you can dial in your gain structure, add compression and limiting, and fully adjust the frequency response via a graphic EQ. The ShurePlus MOTIV app also makes recording in iOS and Android easy. The interface is simple yet effective, editing is remarkably fast and intuitive, you get full 24-bit/48kHz digital resolution, and compatibility with Dropbox and other export options streamline the rest of your creative process.

Built tough and ready for real fieldwork

One thing that many recording pros at Sweetwater consider about mobile mics such as the Shure MV88+ is how well they’ll hold up to real fieldwork. We’re talking about the kind of spontaneous recording where you have seconds to get your rig out before losing the chance to capture one-of-a-kind opportunities. Those are the times when you’re going to occasionally fumble with your gear, and it’s going to take a spill. After months of fieldwork with the MV88+, we’re happy to say that this thing holds up. Its all-metal body is no joke, and even the Lightning connector is built tougher than normal. What’s more, the MV88+ comes as a complete kit with phone clamp, tripod, and shoe-mount mic clip, plus USB-C and Lightning cables.

Shure MV88+ Digital Stereo Condenser Microphone Features:

  • A stereo condenser microphone that connects straight to your iOS or Android device
  • Multiple microphone capsule arrangement provides flexible recording configurations
  • Record in variable mono or stereo pattern, with true figure-8 and mid-side options
  • 90-degree hinge makes mic positioning easy, particularly for video recording
  • Wired connection transmits clear 24-bit/48kHz digital audio right to your device
  • Free ShurePlus MOTIV app lets you adjust onboard DSP settings
  • Adjust stereo width, EQ, dynamics, and gain settings from your device
  • All-metal design makes this microphone tough enough for serious field use
  • Includes phone clamp, tripod, shoe-mount mic clip, and USB-C and Lightning cables

Outstanding results

I was brought onboard to help improve the quality of scripted podcasts that were being done in-house by a corporation. We purchased and distributed these mic sets to the executives recording their respective parts on their iPhones. We ended up not using the ShurePlus Motiv app, even though it works very well, using the mics out of the box on another recording app that was simpler to operate. Fortunately the MV88+ worked transparently with the selected app. We did sessions via video conferencing, and I walked the participants through setting up their mics and software to record at 48khz 24bit WAV format and to send the files via download link to the production staff.
The MV88+s worked flawlessly in the field and gave me much better audio source material than is customary in this kind of situation to do the edits.
I will note that I had the participants use the windscreen. I think it sounded better with it, saving me from some of the excess sibilance that tends to plague these kinds of recordings.
The mount and tripod arrangement is perfect for desktop recording, making it a well integrated, one-box solution. Just add your smartphone and go!
For this kind of application the MV88+ really shines.

If you are an iPhone recorder for guitar

This mic is what I was looking for out of pure simplicity. The iPhone speaker has poor audio but good video. This bridges that gap for me and doesn't take anytime to do so messing with software or other programs. For me, it's worth it and I'm glad I purchased it. I'm sure there are better mics or softwares out there for the more capable guitarists but this works for me. Just use the app that comes with the mic and it's very simple.

Worth Every Penny!

I was hanging out with some great musicians doing open jam nights and we were all joking about how we came up with these great grooves but we will forget them by tomorrow. Not with the MV88+Video. The iPhone app has great presets and you can fully adjust the mic for any situation, band practice, two way conversations, vlogging, etc.. The settings are written to the mic so you can just hand the rig to a friend and let them start recording with their phone. You can hear and see your performance which is just awesome. Get yourself an MV88, you won't be disappointed!

Shure quality never let me down.

Took this mic on the band gig last Saturday and everyone was asking about how did I get such great sounding out my Iphone Pro13. The MV 88 + is the answer, great mic at very reasonable cost and the kit that comes with is solid.
Thank you Shure and big thanks to sweetwater for the always support.
