It’s a great option for folks looking to create engaging video for online platforms like Sennheiser’s Memory Mic is a clip-on ‘lapel’ microphone that can wirelessly capture perfect audio for your iPhone-shot video. Shure’s MV88+ Video Kit is the product we’d recommend. If you’ve been searching for a premium iPhone mic that pretty much does it all, look no further. It’s well built, holds the iPhone securely, and makes arranging the iPhone (and MV88+ mic) a breeze thanks to its tilt button.
The clip works really well, allowing users to arrange their microphone for audio or video capture in portrait or landscape.Īnd the tripod – well, it’s the finest iPhone tripod I’ve ever encountered, hands down. Recording is also assisted by the MV88+’s smart mic-clip and the Manfrotto PIXI tripod. You can also change the gain and stereo width to ensure you get the perfect capture first time. In both Shure’s audio- and video-recording apps, you can switch between DSP presets like Speech, Singing, Acoustic and Loud. On iPhone, you can use these to fine-tune the microphone to provide the best possible sound for your present environment.
Part of the reason for this flexible functionality is Shure’s impressive MV88+ apps. In our testing, it handled spoken word and music capture equally well. Because the MV88+ has a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, you’ll find that the microphone picks up detailed stereo capture regardless of the audio source. For starters, a foam windscreen (included with the kit) makes it possible to capture impressive audio outdoors, even in windy conditions. Make no mistake: the microphone’s sound quality is excellent. You get what you pay for with this mic: it’s a premium kit at a premium price. It consists of a digital stereo condenser microphone, a Manfrotto PIXI mini tripod, and a range of clips and wires. Shure’s MV88+ Video Kit is an impressive piece of hardware for budding filmmakers and amateur videographers alike.
