Shure MVL/A Omnidirectional Condenser Lavalier Microphone

If you're looking for a compact, easy-to-use lapel mic that plugs right into a phone's TRRS jack, the Shure MOTIV MVL is the microphone for you. This mic offers a broadcast-quality sound in a tiny form factor, and can record to many phones and devices that offer 3.5mm TRRS connectivity.

No controls are on hand, which streamlines the process incredibly: simply clamp the mic to your subject (or yourself), plug the mic into the phone, and start recording. The mic will work with any app that records audio, including the built-in iOS Voice Memo App—but when you pair it with the ShurePlus MOTIV iOS or Android app, you'll have access to a wide array of mixing, editing, and exporting tools. Perfect for electronic field production, run-and-gun news reporting, or simple mobile vlogs, the mic comes with a windscreen, a tie clip, and a drawstring carrying pouch.

Great for the Field

The mic is easily hidden, but it offers an omnidirectional polar pattern that ensures you'll get an even sound at any angle of address. This makes it great for run-and-gun sound pickup.

Handy Includes

The included windscreen protects against plosives. The tie-clip makes mounting the mic a cinch. Put everything in the storage pouch when you're done.

Easy to Use

The mic offers no controls and operates in the analog domain. This makes operation a breeze: simply plug it in and play. There's no software to install to make it compatible with your phone—unless you want to achieve extra functionalities, such as the ones highlighted in the next feature.

Compatible App

With the ShurePlus MOTIV iOS or Android app, you'll have access to a wide array of mixing, editing, and exporting tools. Adjust mic gain, monitor mix, EQ, limiter, compressor, and more.
