Description

Shure WL185m Low-Profile Cardioid Lavalier Microphone with TA4F Connector (White)

The white Shure WL185m is a discreet, low-profile cardioid lavalier microphone well suited to a wide variety of interview, presentation, broadcast, and film/video applications. Not only does the lav offer a profile that is 8mm shorter then previous models, the WL185m delivers better audio quality with an improved presence response, higher dynamic range, and lower self-noise for crystal clear speech and vocals.

Optimized for a 5 VDC plug-in power source, the mic features a 4' cable terminating in a TA4F connector for use with a compatible Shure wireless bodypack transmitter or similar device. A snap-fit windscreen and adjustable lapel clip that offers 90° rotation for optimal mic placement are included. A zippered storage pouch is also supplied.

Cardioid Polar Pattern

The cardioid polar pattern focuses sound capture on the talent wearing the mic, picking up less audio from surrounding sources and helping to reduce feedback from sound-reinforcement equipment.

Headroom for Speech and Vocals

The electret condenser capsule in this TA4F version of the WL185m offers a 120.5 dB dynamic range and a very low self-noise of only 20 dB SPL. It can also handle up to 140.5 dB SPL with only 1% total harmonic distortion (THD), providing headroom for broadcast-quality interviews, speech, and dialog.

Frequency Response Tailored for Speech

With a frequency range from 70 Hz to 20 kHz, the mic filters out unnecessary low frequencies and provides extended high-end range for accurate and transparent speech reproduction.

Low-Profile Appearance

Compared to the original, the durable aluminum alloy housing on the WL185m is 8mm shorter and features a smaller snap-on windscreen, providing a more discreet appearance for presenters, performers, and on-camera talent.
