Preset Modes - Shure MV88+ Manual

① Lock Mode Toggle between Locked and Unlocked settings to prevent accidental changes to settings when
handling your device during recording. When mic settings are Locked, the setting screen is grayed out.
② Mic/Record Status When the app is recording, a red dot flashes next to the name of the connected micro­
phone. The icons display the effects are in use.
③ Input Meter Displays the strength of the input signal and whether that signal is mono or stereo. The loudest
peaks should reach within the target range (indicated by the shaded region between -12 and 0 dB).
④ Microphone Gain/Monitor Mix Button Adjust the mic gain slider to set the volume of the sound source. Tap
the button to access monitor mix settings. See "Monitor Mix Blend" on monitor adjustment.
⑤ Preset Modes Set stereo width, equalization, and compression for specific applications. See "Preset Modes"
for more information.
⑥ Polar Pattern Selection Swipe to choose your pick-up pattern. Use the handles to adjust the width of the
stereo image.
Tip: Consider the location of the microphone and the size of the sound source when adjusting the width. For ex­
ample, a large orchestra or ensemble recording benefits from a wide stereo image, which increases separation be­
tween instruments. Speech benefits from a narrow width, which improves clarity and rejects ambient (room)
sound.
⑦ Stereo Width Handles Use the dots to quickly set stereo width.
⑧ Advanced Features Fine tune your audio recording with limiter and compressor controls, high pass filter, left-
right swap, and equalization settings.
⑨ Navigation Bar Tap to access Mic Setup, Record, and My Recordings screens.

Five selectable modes optimize settings for gain, stereo width, equalization, and compression. Set the microphone

just the microphone level as needed after changing presets.
