Shure MV88+ Stereo USB Microphone General Description ® The Shure MV88+ is a professional quality condenser microphone that plugs directly into a mobile device using a Lightning or USB-C connector. Two microphone capsules in a Mid-Side configuration provide an adjustable stereo image, suitable for cap- ™ turing a variety of sources, including music and speech. The ShurePlus MOTIV app allows you to customize your sound with digital signal processing (DSP), preset mode selection, gain adjustment, compression, and stereo width control.
Shure Incorporated Quick Setup Mounting the Microphone Windscreen The windscreen offers maximum protection from plosives and creates a warmer, more intimate sound for speech applications, like podcasting and gaming. The MV88+ Microphone The MV88+ features two capsules: one capsule has a cardioid pattern and picks up sound directly in front of the microphone.
Shure Incorporated Note: The app has a Left-Right Channel Swap to flip the audio channels. MV88+ Outputs • 3.5mm monitor output for connecting to headphones and earphones • Send audio to your recording device using the micro-B USB port MV88+ LEDs Android/Mac/PC...
The MV88+ fits into a standard A25D mic clip. So, you can place it anywhere that you can put a mic stand. Tip: For correct stereo orientation, ensure that the Shure name is clearly visible on the top of the microphone. If the name is not visible, adjust the microphone accordingly.
Shure Incorporated Handheld Recording The legs collapse to create a portable hand-held stand. The Shure MOTIV Desktop App Use the Shure MOTIV desktop app to quickly adjust microphone settings. The device stores the most recently used settings for quick setup. 7/17...

Shure Incorporated ⑤ Monitor Mix slider Move the slider to adjust the levels of mic and playback sound sources. See "Monitor Mix Blend" for more information on monitoring. ⑥ Preset Modes Set stereo width, equalization, and compression for specific applications. See "Preset Modes" for more infor- mation. ⑦ Polar Pattern Selection Swipe to choose your pick-up pattern. Use the dots (handles) to adjust the width of the stereo im- age. Tip: Consider the location of the microphone and the size of the sound source when adjusting the width. For example, speech benefits from a narrow width, which improves clarity and rejects ambient (room) sound.
Shure Incorporated Polar Pattern Selection (Stereo and Mono Settings) The following demonstrates microphone capsule pick-up patterns. When operating in a mono mode, stereo width is not ad- justable. Front = On Stereo Sides = On Front = On Mono Cardioid Sides = Off Front = Off Mono Bidirectional Sides = On Front = On Raw Mid-Side Sides = On See "Raw Mid-Side Output"...

For best results, start monitoring at the midpoint and adjust. • Move the slider towards the microphone icon (Mic) to hear more of the audio going into the mic. Like when you're singing over a recorded guitar track and want to clearly hear your voice.
