The mono cardioid setting, for example, is a smart choice for an interview focused on a single subject. For a two-person interview, the mono bidirectional setting might yield better results. The stereo settings offer pickup patterns with variable width (from 60 to 135°), great for recording musical performances or environmental sounds. The raw mid-side setting lets you capture dramatic stereo imaging, which you can adjust later in postproduction.

The MoveMic 88+ is packed with intelligent digital signal processing (DSP) software that allows you to adjust gain, compression, EQ, high-pass filter, L/R channel swap, and brand-new noise reduction settings. An always-enabled limiter will prevent loud sounds from clipping or distorting your audio and five presets (speech, singing, flat, acoustic, loud) make it easy to get recording fast. Fully customizable, your own presets can be saved in both the Shure apps and the separately available MoveMic Receiver, so you’re instantly ready next time.
