Overview
- Unveiled at CES 2026, the MV88 USB-C is on sale immediately for $159.
- Direct USB-C mounting restores the original snap-on form factor for phones and tablets, replacing the older Lightning model and the cabled MV88+ approach.
- Built-in processing includes Auto Level Mode and a Real-Time Denoiser, with deeper control via Shure’s MOTIV apps for EQ, limiter, compression and a high-pass filter.
- The compact stereo condenser offers four pickup patterns, tilt and swivel adjustment up to 180 degrees, and ships with a foam windscreen and protective case.
- Reporting notes MFi certification and up to 48 kHz/24-bit capture, with early hands-on impressions praising sound quality and its usefulness as a lavalier alternative for ambient or multi-subject recording.
