The Shure MOTIV MV88 USB-C is a compact stereo microphone designed for mobile recording directly on smartphones. It captures high-quality audio with a condenser transducer and adjustable directional patterns, making it suitable for both vocal and spoken-word content.

USB-C plug-and-play connection — no additional audio interface required
Condenser transducer with selectable polar patterns adapts to different recording environments

What sets the MOTIV MV88 apart
Unlike standard smartphone microphones that use a fixed omnidirectional pattern, the MV88 offers switchable directional selectivity — from cardioid to a wide stereo spread — giving creators control over how much ambient sound is captured alongside the primary source.
Ideal for...
Podcasters, vloggers, and mobile journalists who need broadcast-quality stereo audio without carrying dedicated recording gear. Also suited for musicians capturing demos or vocal practice sessions directly on a phone.
