Shure MV88+ Stereo USB Microphone

Bought this as a portable microphone initially to support voiceovers in Final Cut Pro or iMovie and late mobile or music recording. But… even with the gain at max, settings to voice via the Motiv app and preferences adjusted on the Mac the track is barely audible. A great shame because in all other respects, Mac Compatibility, USB plug in, size and quality of build, it should have been just what I wanted. Bottom line very disappointed and cannot recommend.

I bought this mic intending to record video voiceovers but also having the ability to record music in the future. The portability was important to me as was the quality of pick up.

Unfortunately the mic is virtually useless for use with a MacBook Pro and Final Cut Pro, even with the gain adjusted to max the output is barely audible. I approached Shure for support but nothing so I cannot therefore recommend this product.

This in no way reflects on the excellent order handling by Bax.

Bought the lightning version to use with my iPhone. Anything I threw at it works perfectly - loud band rehearsals - singing birds in the distance. I always have it with me cause you never know when you come across a sound that you would like to record decently. The converter's and the mid-side arrangement makes it super versatile. Would recommend. Strange that the usb-c version should be soo different (Ian's review on 28 feb )
