The MV88 now has a USB-C Connection with customisable options for recording scenarios
Shure, at CES ’26, has launched the MV88 USB-C Stereo Microphone, a compact and portable solution designed to instantly record professional-grade audio for mobile content creators. Revamping the original MV88, the new MV88 USB-C reimagines the classic stereo condenser mic with a USB-C connector that plugs straight into the users’ phone or tablet, regardless of whether it is Android or iOS, delivering powerful audio processing in a pocket-sized design.
Trusted by mobile journalists, Shure’s MV88 microphone family, including the MV88+ Video Kit and MoveMic 88+ Wireless Stereo Microphone, has become the go-to solution for capturing high-quality audio on-the-move.
“The original MV88 earned a loyal following for its simplicity and sound quality,” said Eduardo Valdes, Associate Vice President of Global Marketing and Product Management at Shure.
“With the new MV88 USB-C, we’ve elevated reliable, professional audio. Just connect, and you’re ready to record on the go. There’s no need to worry about pairing, range, dropouts, or battery life—the MV88 USB-C delivers straightforward connectivity paired with the high-powered, simple-to-customize audio processing found in our acclaimed MV7+ and MV6 microphones. Creators can focus on their craft and leave the audio excellence to us.”
Forget fiddling with levels or worrying about background noise. With Auto Level Mode, the MV88 continuously adjusts gain in real time to ensure audio is never too loud or too quiet. There’s no need to set levels manually unless users prefer to; the microphone does it automatically. Pairing that with Real-time Denoiser, which intelligently removes unwanted background noise, delivering a professional sound in any environment. Paired with four selectable polar patterns—adjustable stereo, mono cardioid, mono bi-directional, and raw mid-side—users can configure the mic to suit any recording scenario.

Shure is showcasing the MV88 USB-C for the first time at CES Unveiled in Las Vegas, and is available now at a suggested retail of US$159, £145, and €169.
