Shure MoveMic Review / Test

Curtis' Review w/ Distance Test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruRHrIGvHXU

Today I review Shure's new fully wireless consumer lav system, the Movemic. This has a tiny transmitter with a bulit in mic that offers a smoother and less bright sound compared to it's competitors. It also offers real time processing to add noise reduction, high pass filter, compression, and EQ. The transmitter can also connect to your phone via bluetooth but I found that quality to be lower than the sound quality via the receiver.
