Shure MV88 USB-C Microphone: The Legend Returns for the Modern Mobile Era
Shure revives its legendary mobile mic for the modern era. Discover the new Shure MV88 USB-C microphone, featuring direct mounting and pro-level audio specs.
One connector can change everything for mobile creators. Shure is finally breathing new life into its most iconic mobile microphone by swapping the dated Lightning port for a universal USB-C interface.
The Shure MV88 USB-C: Form Factor Reimagined
The original MV88, launched in 2015, was a game-changer for iPhone users but eventually became a relic as the industry shifted to USB-C. While the subsequent MV88+ offered compatibility via cables, it lacked the compact, 'plug-and-go' convenience of the original direct-mount design.
The new Shure MV88 USB-C microphone fixes this gap. It returns to the classic form factor, mounting directly to the base of any modern smartphone or tablet. This makes it an ideal companion for field journalists and vloggers who need high-quality audio without the clutter of extra cables or mounts.
Professional Audio Precision in Your Pocket
Beyond the hardware tweak, the MV88 USB-C remains a powerhouse. It features a condenser mic with four polar pattern options: stereo, mono cardioid, mono bidirectional, and raw mid-side. When paired with the MOTIV app suite on mobile or desktop, it offers professional-grade presets and manual controls that elevate standard smartphone recordings to studio quality.
