Shure MV88+SE215-CL Portable Videography Bundle

Product Overview

The Shure MV88+ Video Kit is a portable videography microphone bundle built for AV teams that need broadcast-quality audio captured directly to a smartphone. This kit pairs a digital stereo condenser microphone with Shure SE215 sound-isolating earphones, giving you a complete mobile content creation audio kit for interviews, field capture, and on-location video. It records high-quality 24-bit/48 kHz audio and connects to iOS and Android devices over Lightning or USB-C. For commercial AV deployments, it provides a fast, repeatable way to produce clean spoken-word and ambient audio without a full rack of recording gear.

Product Description

The MV88+ is a smartphone stereo condenser microphone that slides into an included mic clip and mounts to a phone clamp with a 1/4"-20 thread, so it works with the supplied Manfrotto PIXI mini tripod or any standard camera tripod. Capture modes range from mono cardioid for single-subject interviews to adjustable-width stereo and raw mid-side for ambience and B-roll, all controlled through the free ShurePlus MOTIV Audio and Video apps. The apps add real-time gain, stereo-width control, and five DSP preset modes (Speech, Singing, Flat, Acoustic Instrument, Loud) plus a limiter, compressor, and 5-band EQ. A built-in headphone output supports real-time monitoring with a Monitor Mix blend between live audio and phone playback. The bundled SE215 earphones provide that monitoring path and double as sound-isolating listening for editing and review. The microphone also operates with Mac, Windows, and iPad Pro for field recording microphone for video workflows beyond the phone.
