Shure's new discreet and durable MoveMic series connects directly to phones in both single — MoveMic One — and dual channel — MoveMic Two — configurations for use with the company's MOTIV and MOTIV Video apps on iOS and Android. For users 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.
On the microphone side, the patented lavalier design and patent-pending wireless technology make the new MoveMic system a reliable and flexible solution regardless of whether users are going direct-to-phone or connecting 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."
The MoveMic lavalier was purposely designed to be almost invisible, weighing only 8.2g per microphone and measuring a demure 46mm x 22mm, with only a fraction of the microphone visible while worn for an unprecedented level of concealment and portability. With an IPX4 rating, the microphone system was engineered for real-world use and is capable of withstanding 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 makes it easy to capture high-quality voice recordings with minimal background noise, ideal 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. By eliminating setup time between shots, creators, journalists, and videographers can be ready to record in an instant.
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, with prices starting at US $249 for the MoveMic One transmitter system, $199 for the MoveMic Receiver, and $499 (US) for the MoveMic Two Receiver Kit that contains both two lavalier microphones and the MoveMic receiver and all cables and cases.
MoveMic components and accessories, including a 15-inch USB-C to lightning cable, are available separately. Magnet lavalier mounts and white windscreens with white clip covers will be available for purchase in spring 2024.
The Shure website continues to be plagued with an IP detection feature that makes it impossible to see product details in English while abroad. If you visit the product page while in Poland, everything will be in Polish and there's no (easy and safe) way around it! No details about frequencies, wireless audio technology, or transmission range are available for now.
