Creators looking for better sound to their vlogs and podcasts have no lack of wireless microphones to choose from – but Shure’s latest microphone takes things in a different direction than the laptops of the DJI Mic Mini and Saramonic Ultra.

Revelated Today, Shure Movemic 88+ is a wireless microphone designed to be mounted on racks or microphone standing rather than the cut to your shirt tail tray or lapel. It is designed for video professionals or journalists who need a small, light microphone with sufficient flexibility to be used for everything from nature documentaries to short films and two-header interviews it can connect directly to the user’s smartphone over a number of up to 100 feet.

With the user running the Shure Motiv Video app, they will be able to select one of four polar patterns stereo, mono cardioid, mono two-way or raw midfield and fine-tune the microphone’s sound performance by adjusting gains, equ., Noise reduction or engaging a high passport filter. Recordings can be stored directly on the phone or live streamed to platforms including YouTube and Facebook.

The wireless link directly to the phone keeps things simple while offering superior sound performance to a phone’s built -in microphone, especially in environments with wind or traffic noise. Shure also suggests that Movemic 88 +’s size and range may prove to be invaluable to remote recording scenarios, giving the example of clearly catching the sounds from a bird bed while sitting at a distance; The discreet size of the microfade means it could be placed close to the nest without disturbing its inhabitants.
