Description

The black Shure WL184 is a lavalier microphone with a supercardioid pickup pattern well suited to a wide variety of instruction, presentation, broadcast, and film/video applications, especially when using monitors and loudspeakers. The mic features a TA4F connector compatible with Shure wireless transmitters.

The WL184 lav filters out unwanted low frequencies below 50 Hz and sharp highs in the range above 17 kHz to provide clear, intelligible speech for instructors, journalists, and presenters doing interviews, voiceovers, and dialog. The microphone capsule can handle SPL levels up to 129.5 dB, while the supercardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture on the talent in a tight 115° pick-up angle in front of the mic. This pattern picks up substantially less background sound, helping to keep feedback problems under control when using monitors and sound-reinforcement gear.

This electret condenser microphone features a 4’ cable and is optimized for a 5 VDC power source, but can operate on 1.5 to 10 VDC available through the TAFM connector on a Shure wireless bodypack transmitter or similar compatible device. A snap-fit windscreen and a smaller foam windscreen are included, along with a modular lapel clip that offers 90° rotation for optimal mic placement. A single-mount lapel clip and a double-mount lapel clip are also provided.
