 direct-to-phone design with 100ft range Four available polar patterns for 
different scenarios Available now from $299 / 289 

Creators looking for better sound for their vlogs and podcasts have no 
shortage of wireless microphones to choose from  but Shures latest mic takes 
things in a different direction to the wearable likes of the DJI Mic Mini and 
Saramonic Ultra . 

Unveiled today, the Shure MoveMic 88+ is a wireless mic designed to be 
mounted on tripods or microphone stands rather than clipped to your shirt 
collar or lapel. It's designed for video professionals or journalists who 
need a small, lightweight mic with enough flexibility to be used for 
everything from nature documentaries to short films and two-header interviews 
 it can link up directly with the users smartphone over a range of up to 100 
feet. 

With the user running the Shure Motiv Video app, theyll be able to select one 
of four polar patterns  stereo, mono cardioid, mono bi-directional or raw 
mid-side  and fine-tune the mics audio performance by adjusting gain, EQ, 
noise reduction or engaging a high pass filter. Recordings can be stored 
directly on the phone, or live streamed to platforms including YouTube and 
Facebook. The MoveMic receiver (on the left) is an optional accessory that 
expands the MoveMic 88+'s compatibility (Image credit: Shure) 

The direct-to-phone wireless link keeps things simple while offering superior 
audio performance to a phones on-board microphone, particularly in 
environments with wind or traffic noise. Shure also suggests the MoveMic 88+s 
size and range could prove invaluable for remote recording scenarios, giving 
the example of clearly capturing the sounds from a birds nest while sitting 
at a distance; the mics discreet size means it could be placed close to the 
nest without disturbing its inhabitants. 

The MoveMic 88+ has a built-in rechargeable battery delivering up to eight 
hours of use, topping up via USB-C when required, and comes supplied with two 
mounting clips  one for camera cold shoes and another for 5/8 mic stands. It 
can also work when handheld directly, according to Shure  but does seem a 
little small to hold comfortably. 

The Shure MoveMic 88+ can be purchased solo for $299 / 289, or in a bundle 
with the MoveMic Receiver ($449 / 439), which allows it to connect to 
cameras, computers and smartphones (for third-party app recording) via USB-C 
or 3.5mm cable. You might also like I tested DJIs new RS 4 Mini camera
