Quick Start Guide

1.
Charge: Make sure that battery is fully charged before first use.
2.
Download the Application: Follow steps for installation using the App Store or Google Play. The first time you use the
MOTIV application you will be prompted to allow access to the device camera and microphone. You can grant Location
Services permission and share usage analytics with Shure.
3.
Pair: Remove charged MoveMics from the charge case; power on and pair to the MOTIV application.
4.
Record: You are ready to start recording.
Note: We recommend that you use a wired connection to monitor your recordings. First plug-in your wired headphones and
then pair the MoveMics to the app when using a mobile device. Plug directly into the receiver when using the hardware receiv
er. Monitoring your recording while using a Bluetooth headset is not recommended.

Wearing the Mic

Wear the MoveMic with the clip facing out and the MoveMic body discretely hidden behind clothing to minimize camera visibili
ty.

The MoveMic Charge Case

The MoveMic Charge Case is a combination storage and charging case that is compact enough to fit inside your pocket. The
magnetic lid keeps it securely closed to store the mics safely. The LED indicators on the outside of the case allow you to check
the case and MoveMic battery levels when the lid is closed and the mics are docked inside. The case uses a rechargeable bat
tery and can be connected to a laptop with the included USB-C cable when it requires charging. You can also charge the case
with a charging brick (not included).
Tip: Ensure that the mics are charged and ready for instant recording by always keeping them docked in the Charge Case with
the lid closed when not in use.

Tip: Turn on Airplane Mode and Do Not Disturb to prevent interruptions to the recording caused by phone calls, text messages, or alerts.

Preset Modes

Three selectable modes optimize settings for gain, equalization, and compression. Set the microphone level and try the modes
to find which sounds best. Preset modes can affect the strength of the input signal, so adjust the microphone level as needed
after changing presets.

LEDs: Turn off the LEDs on the microphone transmitters for a more discrete mic presence.
High Power: Set the microphone transmitters to high power for recording over a longer distance. High Power extends the
transmission range.
Mic Gain: Use the mic gain slider to adjust the microphone input gain.
Mute: Press to mute and unmute the microphone.
Presets/Custom Presets: Refer to the Presets and Custom Presets sections for more information on using and saving pre
sets.
Noise Reduction: Significantly reduce the amount of noise in the signal caused by projectors, HVAC systems, or other envi
ronmental noise. It is a dynamic processor, which calculates the noise floor in the room and removes noise throughout the en
tire spectrum with maximum transparency. Use in rooms with controlled acoustics and minimal echoes for the most natural
sound.
Compressor: Choose no compression, or select light or heavy compression to control volume when your sound source is dy
namic. The compressor will narrow the dynamic range, which means that quiet signals are boosted and loud signals are low
ered.
High Pass Filter: Choose no HPF for the most natural sound. Or select 75 Hz or 150 Hz to reduce wind noise, room noise, or
proximity effect.
•
75 Hz Low frequency cutoff Provides a 6 dB-per-octave cutoff at 75 Hz. Helps eliminate floor rumble and low-frequency
room noise from heating and air conditioning systems. This setting may also be used to compensate for proximity effect or
to reduce low frequencies that make an instrument sound dull or muddy.
•
150 Hz Low frequency rolloff Provides a 6 dBperoctave rolloff filter at 150 Hz. Use this to compensate for proximity ef
fect or to reduce low frequencies that could make an instrument sound dull or muddy.
Equalizer: Change the preset modes to hear the DSP changes, and then use the equalizer to boost or cut bands of frequen
cies to improve sound clarity.
Identify: Select Identify in the receiver menu to quickly clear up confusion if you forget which microphone is one or two. The
LED flashes for easy identification.

Compressed Format Recording

The MOTIV app records uncompressed audio files to provide the highest quality recording. However, you might find it more
useful to record in a compressed file format. Compressed files take up less storage space allowing you more space on your
device to record. It's also easier to share compressed files by message or email because compressed files use less data. Con
sider using a compressed format for recording demos or initial ideas because in this case it is more important to capture the
idea than have the highest possible fidelity recording.
If you are unsure about which format to choose, start with the highest quality setting. You can always compress files later from
your library if you find that you require smaller files sizes. See the Supported Audio Formats section to learn about the file for
mats that are available to you.
Remember: You can convert compressed audio to an uncompressed format, uncompressed audio to a compressed format
and one type of compressed format to another. However, only WAV files can be edited. If you need to edit a file, convert the file
to a WAV file first.

Recording Tips

Turn On Airplane Mode and Do Not Disturb

When you connect your microphones to your mobile device, be sure to enable Airplane Mode and Do Not Disturb. It's impor
tant to do this to avoid recording interference from phone calls, messages, and various notifications.
Note: Leave Airplane Mode off to add geolocation information to your audio file.

Capture Clear Sound

For best signal-to-noise ratio when using the MoveMic receiver start with the output level set to Line  level and lower the vol
ume on your camera. Then raise the volume until you get the strongest signal without peaking. If that doesn't work, switch out
put level to Mic level.

Use the Dark Theme

Select the Dark screen option to change the device application display from light gray to very dark gray. The darker display is
ideal for discreet recording in low-light situations. A darker screen also conserves battery life.
You can access the theme appearance setting by going to Settings > Appearance

Monitor Your Sound

We recommend that you use a wired connection to monitor your recordings. When using the MoveMics, first plug-in your wired
headphones and then pair the MoveMics to the app. Monitoring your recording while using a Bluetooth headset is not currently
supported. The receiver has a headphone output which allows you to monitor directly from the receiver. Monitoring while
recording allows you to make volume adjustments as needed for the highest quality recording.
Note: Use phone buttons to adjust monitoring volume.

Issue Solution
Check to see how the microphone works using a different device.
Close and restart the application.
Powering down and rebooting the device will clear the cache and can sometimes help
with software performance.
In the event that the MoveMics, charge case, receiver or app become unresponsive, it
may be necessary to perform a factory reset to restore the item to factory settings.
MoveMic: Perform a factory reset by toggling the MoveMic button off. Then press the
Factory Reset
power button quickly 2 times, press and hold for 10 seconds or longer on the third press
to reset. MoveMic will triple flash green and red during the reset.
