SHURE ANNOUNCES ‘WORLD’S SMALLEST’ WIRELESS LAV MICS

New MoveMic system offers ‘broadcast quality’ audio for content creators

Microphone maker Shure has announced its new MoveMic Microphone System, clip-on wireless mics designed for mobile content creators and video makers for connecting to Shure’s MOTIV and MOTIV Video apps on iOS and Android. If you want to link the mics to a camera you can also get the MoveMic Receiver Kit, which can be linked to cameras, computers, and recording software.

The MoveMic One is for solo video creators who just need a simple solution for directly recording audio from one source. The MoveMic Two kit has two mics that can be connected to the same receiver, which is great for interviews or videos with more than one subject.

Shure claims the MoveMic is “the smallest, best-sounding, dual-channel direct-to-phone wireless lavalier solution available”, and with Shure’s proprietary wireless software, the microphones are pegged for “broadcast-quality audio”.

With each microphone weighing only 8.2g and measuring 46mm x 22mm, these are some pretty tiny tie-clip mics that look easy to conceal behind jacket lapels or folds of clothes. The MoveMics offer up to eight hours of battery life, plus two additional eight-hour charges from the USB-C charging case.

The MoveMics can be paired on mobile with the free MOTIV Audio and Video apps from Shure or the MoveMic Receiver. The apps not only provide recording functions, but creators can configure audio settings like gain, limiter, compression, noise reduction, and EQ.

The MoveMics are available now. The MoveMic One costs £259 / $249, and the MoveMic Two kit costs $349 / £349.
