The MV88 is compatible with any iOS device equipped with a Lightning connector. Compact and Durable The MV88 features lightweight, all-metal construction and is small enough to carry anywhere. Like all Shure products, the MV88 ensures reliability in the field.
Shure Incorporated The LED on the MV88 base illuminates when an audio application or the ShurePlus MOTIV recording app is open and recognizes the MV88. Note: The reversible Lightning connector allows the MV88 to be installed in either orientation. Install and open the MOTIV app.
Experiment with microphone placement and settings to find what works best. Tip: To ensure correct stereo orientation of the microphone at a glance, check to see if the Shure name is clearly visible on the top of the microphone. If the name is not visible, turn the barrel 90°.

Shure Incorporated Use the included headphone monitor adapting cable for the following reasons: • You require a slimmer connection to the headphone input on your recording device. The cable accommodates head phones and earphones with larger connectors. • You want to disable the inline microphone on your headphones. The cable ensures that the recorded sound comes solely from the MV88 and not the headphone inline microphone.

Shure Incorporated Advanced tip: Using compression with a fast attack setting on the grouped tracks keeps transients (the first part of a sound, such as when a drum stick strikes a cymbal) toward the center of the stereo image and allows them to expand within the stereo field as the sound decays.
Shure Incorporated Equalizer Change the preset modes to hear the DSP changes, and use the equalizer to boost or cut bands of frequencies to improve sound clarity. Note: Equalization within presets will not be displayed. However, the EQ icon in the advanced settings status bar indicates user-selected equalization.
