Shure R183 Omnidirectional Cartridge for Microflex Microphones (Black)

Versatile Audio Solution for Microflex and WL Series

The Shure R183B Omnidirectional Cartridge in Black is a high-quality replacement cartridge designed for Shure Microflex series and WL183 lavalier microphones, offering seamless integration and enhanced audio flexibility for professional audio applications across Australia. This durable, screw-on modular cartridge features an omnidirectional polar pattern, making it ideal for capturing sound from all directions in settings like conferences, presentations, and broadcast environments where consistent audio levels are needed, even if the talent moves or turns away from the microphone.

Clear and Consistent Sound Capture

The R183B cartridge delivers a forgiving omnidirectional polar pattern, picking up sound evenly from 360° around the capsule, ensuring consistent levels without the proximity effect or “boomy” sound often associated with directional microphones. Optimized for speech and vocal applications, it provides clear, high-quality audio that matches or surpasses the performance of the original cartridges in Microflex MX183, MX202, MX391, MX392, MX393, MX405, MX410, MX412, MX418, and WL183 microphones. The electret condenser design ensures reliable sound reproduction, making it suitable for both speech and music in professional settings. Note that the cartridge requires the host microphone’s preamplifier and phantom power (11–52V DC) to operate, and specific audio specifications (e.g., frequency response, max SPL) depend on the microphone model.

Durable and Easy-to-Use Design

Crafted to Shure’s rigorous quality standards, the R183B features a durable, black finish that blends seamlessly with Microflex and WL series microphones. Its modular, screw-on design allows for quick and easy cartridge replacement, enabling users to switch to an omnidirectional pattern without purchasing a new microphone. This cost-effective solution is perfect for upgrading or replacing worn-out cartridges, maintaining optimal sound quality. The cartridge’s compact size ensures compatibility with the sleek, low-profile designs of Microflex lavalier, boundary, gooseneck, and overhead microphones. For best results, ensure proper installation by following Shure’s user guide, as some users report minor fit issues with certain models if not securely attached.
