Shure's MOTIV MV88 may look like a lot of other iOS mics, but its combination of amazing sound and phenomenal versatility has made it one of the most popular mobile mics among the staff here at MusicMajlis. For starters, the MV88's sound is clean and clear, whether you're inches away, recording an interview in a noisy environment, or sitting back on your sofa and laying down a new song idea with your favorite couch guitar. Multiple capsules let you record in variable cardioid, figure-8, and mid-side stereo, among other options, which you can access from the free ShurePlus MOTIV iOS app.
