Description
The Shure MV88 USB-C Stereo Microphone is a compact, plug-and-play recording solution that instantly upgrades the sound of your phone, tablet or computer. Connecting directly via USB-C, it delivers professional-grade stereo or mono audio for video, podcasts, live streaming, music demos and more, with no extra interfaces or complicated setup required.
With Shure’s Auto Level Mode, Real-time Denoiser and selectable polar patterns, the MV88 adapts to your environment and keeps your levels consistent, so you can focus on your performance instead of your meters. Five flexible presets and deep control via the Shure MOTIV apps let you go from quick capture to finely tuned studio-style results, all from a pocket-sized microphone trusted by creators worldwide.
Instant Mobile Audio Upgrade
The MV88 is designed for creators who want better sound without the hassle. Plug it into the USB-C port on your compatible device, open your favourite recording or video app, and you are ready to record. There is no need for extra cables, batteries or interfaces, making it ideal for content creation on the go, from social media clips to professional client work.
Flexible Polar Patterns for Any Scenario
Whether you are filming yourself, interviewing a guest or capturing a live performance, the MV88 has a polar pattern to match. Choose from adjustable stereo (60° to 135°), mono cardioid, mono bi-directional or raw mid-side to tailor the pickup to your scene. This flexibility helps you capture clear, focused audio in a wide range of environments, from quiet studios to busy streets.
Consistent Levels with Auto Level Mode
Shure’s Auto Level Mode continuously manages the microphone gain in real time, keeping your audio at a consistent level even if your subject moves or speaks at different volumes. This reduces the risk of clipped, distorted peaks or recordings that are too quiet, saving you time in post-production and helping your content sound polished straight away.
Cleaner Sound with Real-time Denoiser
The built-in Real-time Denoiser intelligently reduces background noise while you record, helping to minimise distractions such as air conditioning, traffic or room ambience. Paired with further control in the Shure MOTIV apps, it lets you achieve a cleaner, more intelligible sound that keeps the focus on your voice or instrument.
Deep Control with Shure MOTIV Apps
When you want to go beyond quick presets, the Shure MOTIV mobile and desktop apps open up detailed control of your sound. Adjust mic gain, compression, 5-band EQ, high-pass filter and more to fine-tune your recordings. Whether you are capturing speech, singing, acoustic instruments or loud performances, you can shape the tone to suit your style.
