Shure has unveiled the MV88 USB-C, a content creator-focused stereo microphone which plugs straight into your phone or tablet, offering pro-grade audio recording simply and anywhere.

Reimagining its existing MV88 with USB-C compatibility, the new mic boasts a number of features geared towards making content creation seamless and pain-free, including an Auto Level Mode which adjusts gain in real time to keep recorded audio levels consistent.

The mic also features an intelligent real-time Denoiser, which automatically removes unwanted background noise for a “clean, professional sound” in any environment.

Additionally, the MV88 USB-C allows creators to select between four polar patterns – adjustable stereo, mono cardioid, mono bi-directional and raw mid-side – meaning they can best configure the mic to suit a multitude of recording applications.

While some of its features are geared towards simplifying the recording process, the MV88 USB-C also offers creators flexibility in manually shaping their sound. Five quick-start presets are available, while advanced controls for microphone gain, five-band EQ, limiting, compression and a high-pass filter are also available. These can be accessed via the MOTIV Video and MOTIV Audio mobile apps, as well as MOTIV Mix on desktop.

“The original MV88 earned a loyal following for its simplicity and sound quality,” says 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 acclaimed MV7+ and MV6 microphones. Creators can focus on their craft and leave the audio excellence to us.”

The MV88 USB-C is available now for $159 / £145 / €169, and comes with a foam windscreen and protective carry case.
