Shure is introducing its newest line of wireless clip-on microphones, the MoveMic Microphone System. MoveMic is designed for reliable, broadcast-quality audio in an ultra-lightweight design for content creators, videographers, and mobile journalists. “It is the smallest, best-sounding, dual-channel direct-to-phone wireless lavalier solution available, developed with a custom acoustic design and proprietary wireless software to ensure professional audio quality while on the go,” the announcement states.
Shure’s MoveMic series connects directly to phones in both single—MoveMic One—and dual channel—MoveMic Two—configurations for use with Shure’s Motiv and Motiv Video apps on iOS and Android. For those seeking universal compatibility, the standalone MoveMic Receiver and bundled MoveMic Two Receiver Kit seamlessly integrate with devices like cameras, computers, and third-party smartphone apps. MoveMic’s patented lavalier design and patent-pending wireless technology allow users to connect direct-to-phone or to the MoveMic Receiver.
“On-the-go interviews have become the primary way journalists, content creators, and TikTokers gather the thoughts, opinions, and experiences of people around the world,” says Eduardo Valdes, Associate Vice President of Global Marketing and Product Management, at Shure. “The rise in this style of content has created an ideal opportunity to introduce an incredibly discreet, extraordinary-sounding wireless lavalier microphone system like MoveMic. We’ve applied our expertise as the leaders in professional wireless tools for performance, broadcast, and recording to create this super portable device. Creators will love that they can simultaneously send two channels of audio directly to their phone while keeping mics covert on camera.”
MoveMic is designed to be almost invisible, weighing 8.2g per microphone and measuring 46mm x 22mm, with only a fraction of the microphone visible while worn for concealment and portability. With an IPX4 rating, MoveMic is engineered to withstand spills, splashes, and the demands of recording outdoors.
Each MoveMic wireless clip-on microphone features up to eight hours of battery life. Users can achieve two additional eight-hour charges within the charging case, giving creators an entire day of recording for every full charge. USB-C connectivity makes MoveMic universally chargeable with any USB-C capable charging platform.
The proprietary Shure wireless software and custom acoustic design built into MoveMic allows capture of high-fidelity, broadcast-quality voice recordings with minimal background noise for hectic, on-the-go recording situations up to 100 feet from the receiver source.
After pairing MoveMic One and Two with a user’s preferred device, the microphones will automatically reconnect to the last-paired device when removed from the charging case and powered on. This can eliminate setup time between shots.
Designed to be paired with the free Motiv Audio and Video apps, creators leveraging MoveMic One and Two can configure audio settings like gain, limiter, compression, noise reduction, and EQ. Additionally, users can record and livestream content to Facebook directly from the Motiv Video mobile app, with YouTube livestream integration coming in spring 2024.
The MoveMic system and components are available now at Shure.com and select retailers.
