Shure WL184MB/S-TQG Low-Profile Supercardioid Lavalier Microphone with TA4F Connector (Black)

The blackShure WL184mis a discreet, low-profile supercardioid lavalier microphone well suited to a wide variety of interview, presentation, broadcast, and film/video applications. The mic features a TA4F connector compatible with select Shure wireless transmitters. Not only does the lav offer a profile that is 8mm shorter then previous models, the WL184m delivers better audio quality with an improved presence response, higher dynamic range, and lower self-noise for crystal clear speech and vocals.

The electret condenser capsule filters out unwanted low frequencies below 70 Hz and delivers a high-end response up to 20 kHz to provide clear, intelligible speech for instructors, journalists, and presenters doing interviews, voiceovers, and dialog. The diaphragm can handle SPL levels up to 144 dB, while the very narrow supercardioid pickup pattern focuses audio capture tightly on the talent wearing the mic, picking up less audio from surrounding sources and helping to reduce feedback issues when sound reinforcement equipment is used.

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.
