 I'm a big fan of the Shure products, I always have. I use the Shure MVI as my mic interface, and I am standing here with Laura Davidson from Shure right now, and she's going to talk to us about a mic for the iPhone. Yeah, so this is the MV88 Plus video kit, so it comes with everything you see here, except the phone of course. By the way, this is audio and video, so describe what you're showing. Oh great, so this is a stereo condenser microphone in a shoe mount. It has the phone clip and a Manfrotto Pixi tripod, so it's really versatile for content creators, podcasters, vloggers, and it also has a headphone out on the back, which is really, seems like a kind of silly feature to have, but it's amazing and indispensable once you start using it in the field because... So that's to monitor the recording to make sure it's not horrible. Exactly, because how many times have you recorded something, gotten back home to edit it, and no bueno, so... Have to monitor the audio, yeah. You have to, so we've made that easy for you. So by the clip she means she's got, it's basically mounted in a C-clamp here that's holding the phone and mounting the microphone up on top, and then she's got, as a handle, this small tripod from Manfrotto. Right, and then you can also do it in a number of different configurations. If you wanted to flip this into what we call field recording mode, you can flip that C-clamp and attach it directly to the tripod itself and have more of a horizontal aim for your microphone, which is nice. But one of the main features about the MV88 Plus and our mode of products specific to this microphone is that you can switch up your polar patterns, which I love. So if you want to be able to capture the sights and sounds of CES, go into stereo mode, then switch it up to mono cardioid mode, do a quick vlog, and then you can switch it to mono bi-directional and get a great interview where it disables the front mic, opens up the two side mics, you got two channels of audio, sounds killer. Now when you do that, do you point the mic straight up when you, in order to get the side to side? No, so what you would do is you could keep it just like this and I'm here, you're there, kind of thing. Oh okay, so it's on the left and right sides, gotcha, gotcha. Okay, oh now she's showing the microphone inputs on the sides. Yeah, so this comes off. She pulled off the little puffy thing. My windscreen, yeah, the windscreen comes with it, but and we recommend using that in any situation, unless you're in a perfectly quiet environment. So yeah, so you can see the microphones, it's a stereo condenser, so you have that nice stereo pattern, but it will disable that front mic, open up the two side mics, so I'm here, you're here on either side. Oh okay, okay, so it's got a front mic and two side mics. Correct, exactly. So this is what she's been showing us is very graphical, you can see exactly what the pattern is going to be, so there's no guessing of what that's supposed to look like. Now you've got it at a 135 degree angle, can I grab those little dots and move them and make it smaller? You can. Only if I'm not lame. Only if I'm not lame. There we go, she just switched it to 60 degrees, that's pretty cool. Yeah, and then you can also do some compression, limiting, five band EQ, all within the app, and when you go into the recording option, once you've recorded, you can store it within the app and then do a little bit of light editing, like trimming, adding a fade out, and then share it directly from the phone. But you don't have to use our app, if you want to use the app to configure the microphone and then use your favorite audio app, you can do that as well. Okay, and you can do this while recording video as well, of course. Exactly, we actually have a video app as well called Motive Video. I didn't know that, had never seen that, there you go. Yeah, and so this, you still have that great interface where you can change the polar pattern, but you also have some great features, like controlling your mic gain on the fly from within the app, controlling your exposure level right within the app, and your frames per second, audio file type, and audio resolution. Oh, that's really slick, so that the Motive software comes with the MV88 Plus as well, right? Correct, so when you plug it in for the first time, it'll prompt you to download the app. Very good, so how much is the MV88 Plus with all of this stuff? Two hundred forty nine dollars. Well, that's not bad at all. Not too bad. Not for a great mic. Well, thank you very much. I love Motive, and the Sure Products, I'll keep coming back. Great, thanks so much.
