The LED on the MV88 base illuminates when an audio application or the ShurePlus MOTIV recording app is open and
recognizes the MV88.
Note:
The reversible Lightning connector allows the MV88 to be installed in either orientation.
Install and open the MOTIV app.
The app controls the microphone settings and provides instant recording capabilities.
Check audio and adjust MV88 settings with the MOTIV app.
Select a preset mode or manually adjust mic gain and stereo width to optimize audio recordings. See the "Aiming the
Microphone" topic for mic placement information and "The MOTIV
App" for information on audio settings like compres
sion, equalization, and more.

This allows you to record with no audio interruptions from phone calls or app notifications.
Press the Record button to begin recording.
The microphone will retain settings from the last time you used the MOTIV
app. Adjustments can be made while record
ing, but test settings prior to recording to avoid audible artifacts.
The MV88 Microphone Design
The MV88 features two capsules: one capsule has a cardioid pattern and picks up sound directly in front of the microphone.
The other is bidirectional and captures sound from the left and right sides.

Adjusting the Microphone
For accurate stereo recordings in any position, the front of the microphone must be pointed toward the sound source, with the
sides facing the appropriate orientation. Use the L and R indicators on the microphone barrel to ensure correct placement.
The microphone pivots and the barrel can be rotated 90 degrees to achieve desired positioning.
