Professional stereo audio. Plug into your phone. Start recording.

The Shure MV88-USBC is a compact, high-performance stereo condenser microphone that connects directly to any USB-C device — smartphone, tablet, or computer — with zero setup and zero configuration. Designed for creators, journalists, musicians, and videographers who cannot compromise on audio quality, the MV88-USBC delivers 24-bit/48kHz stereo audio straight from a device that fits in your pocket.

True Stereo Sound

Inside the MV88-USBC are dual mid-side condenser capsules capable of capturing genuine stereo audio with an adjustable stereo width from 60° to 135°. Four selectable polar patterns — Stereo, Mono Cardioid, Mono Bidirectional, and Raw Mid-Side — let you match the microphone's pickup to the recording situation. Use the wide stereo setting to capture the full ambience of a live performance, switch to cardioid mono for clear, focused voice recording, or use bidirectional mode for face-to-face interviews. The raw mid-side output is available for advanced post-processing when even more control is needed.

24-Bit/48kHz Professional Audio

Recording at 24-bit depth and 48 kHz sample rate, the MV88-USBC captures audio with the resolution and dynamic range expected from professional studio equipment. With a frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz and a maximum SPL of 120 dB, it handles everything from quiet ambient recordings to loud live music without clipping or distortion.

Intelligent Processing Built In

The MV88-USBC includes a suite of onboard digital signal processing tools accessible through the Shure MOTIV app. Five fully customisable presets — Speech, Singing, Flat, Acoustic, and Loud — optimise the sound for common recording scenarios with a single tap. Auto Level Mode adjusts gain in real time for consistent volume. A real-time denoiser intelligently removes background noise. Five-band EQ, compression, and a high-pass filter give you the tools for precise shaping of the recorded sound.

Plug-and-Play on Any USB-C Device

The MV88-USBC connects directly to any USB-C compatible device — Android phones and tablets, iOS devices, Windows PCs, and Mac computers — with no drivers, no adapters, and no external power required. The tilt, flip, and rotate mechanism adjusts the microphone capsule up to 90° to point directly at the sound source regardless of how you hold the device, and the design accommodates phone cases up to 2.1 mm thick for most users.

Portable and Always Ready

Weighing just 40 g, the MV88-USBC is genuinely pocketable. A detachable foam windscreen reduces wind noise for outdoor recording, and the included carry case protects the microphone between uses. Whether you are capturing a street interview, a festival performance, a nature soundscape, a podcast episode, or a TikTok video, the MV88-USBC is the professional audio solution that fits your mobile workflow.
