Shure has taken a bold step forward in the world of mobile audio with the launch of their MoveMic 88+ Wireless Stereo Microphone. This innovative tool is transforming how creators and videographers capture sound, providing a unique wireless solution that integrates seamlessly with mobile devices. The MoveMic 88+ offers unmatched freedom for users to record captivating audio without compromising on video quality.
The MoveMic 88+ is notable for its ability to capture high-quality sound in any environment, thanks to its four selectable polar patterns: stereo, cardioid, bi-directional, and raw mid-side. This flexibility means that users can adapt the microphone’s directionality to suit diverse recording needs, including two-way interviews, field recordings, and even musical performances.
What makes this microphone stand out is its ability to enhance storytelling, particularly in challenging situations like nature documentaries. Filmmakers can place the microphone at the heart of the action—be it near a bird’s nest or amidst a bustling crowd—capturing the delicate nuances of the environment without disrupting their subjects.
Designed with versatility in mind, the MoveMic 88+ can be mounted onto popular tripods or mic stands, or it can serve as a handheld microphone, ensuring users can always find the right setup. For those constantly on the move, the device connects directly to mobile phones using the Shure MOTIV apps, eliminating the need for an additional receiver. It also interfaces with various devices via USB-C or 3.5mm connections, broadening its compatibility.
Some key features include:
– **Wireless Flexibility**: Enables movement and video recording from different angles while maintaining superior audio quality.
– **Customizable Audio Controls**: Fine-tune audio with customizable DSP settings like gain, EQ, high-pass filter, and noise reduction.
– **Extended Use**: Enjoy up to 100 feet of wireless range and eight hours of battery life with USB-C charging and headphone monitoring.
Additionally, the Shure MOTIV Video app enhances the creator’s toolbox by allowing video recording or live streaming directly. This offers the opportunity to customize audio and video settings, ensuring content is recorded with the highest quality.
To highlight the prowess of the MoveMic 88+, acclaimed filmmaker Emiliano Ruprah tested the device in the challenging conditions of the Calakmul jungle. His work demonstrated how effectively the microphone captures clear, immersive audio while allowing filmmakers to maintain a respectful distance from wildlife.
The MoveMic 88+ is now available for purchase at $299, offering a complete package that includes mounting clips and a USB-C charging cable. For those seeking extended functionality, the MoveMic 88+ Receiver Kit is also available.
