Shure has revealed a new wireless take on the stereo microphone, the MoveMic 88+. Designed to capture the qualities that make the company’s MV88 condenser microphone so popular, the MoveMic 88+ looks to add the convenience of wireless connectivity for applications such as videography and field recording.

The new microphone features four selectable polar patterns (stereo, cardioid, bi-directional, and raw mid-side), and can pair wirelessly with a smartphone or with a MoveMic receiver. Shure says the MoveMic 88+ can be used as a handheld mic, or users can use the included 5/8″ or cold shoe mic clips to attach to “most popular tripods or mic stands.” Other connectivity options include USB-C or 3.5mm for use with cameras or computers.
A customizable DSP allows for gain, EQ, presets, high pass filter, mute, and noise reduction controls, while Shure says the MoveMic 88+ has a wireless range of up to 100 feet with eight hours of battery life.
A standalone version of the new mic is available now for $299, while a bundle including a MoveMic receiver is available for $449.
