Discreet, Broadcast-Quality Audio for Professional Applications
The Shure WL185m Low-Profile Cardioid Lavalier Condenser Microphone in White with a LEMO 3-pin connector is a professional-grade lavalier microphone designed for broadcast, journalism, presentations, and live performances across Australia. With an 8mm shorter profile than its predecessor, the WL185, this microphone offers discreet placement and enhanced audio quality, making it ideal for speakers, presenters, and performers. The LEMO connector ensures secure, reliable compatibility with select Shure wireless bodypack transmitters and third-party devices supporting 5V DC through a LEMO 3-pin interface.
Crystal-Clear Vocal Reproduction
The WL185m features a cardioid polar pattern that focuses audio capture on the wearer, effectively rejecting off-axis background noise and minimizing feedback from sound reinforcement systems, perfect for controlled environments like interviews, presentations, or theater. The electret condenser capsule delivers a wide frequency response optimized for speech and vocals, with a 114.5 dB dynamic range, a high max SPL of 140.5 dB, and a low self-noise of 19.5 dB SPL for clear, natural audio. Compared to the original WL185, the WL185m offers improved presence response, higher SPL handling, and lower self-noise, ensuring broadcast-quality vocals. Optimized for a 5V DC plug-in power source, it includes a 4 ft (1.2 m) cable for flexible positioning.
Compact and Durable Design
The WL185m’s low-profile design, 8mm shorter than the WL185, blends seamlessly with attire, particularly in white for light-colored clothing, ensuring near-invisibility on camera or stage. The adjustable lapel clip rotates 90° for precise mic placement, and the snap-fit windscreen reduces plosives and wind noise for clean recordings. Built with Shure’s renowned durability, the microphone is robust for demanding environments, from broadcast studios to live stages. The LEMO 3-pin connector provides a secure connection to compatible Shure wireless systems (e.g., Axient Digital, ULX-D) or third-party transmitters, while an external preamplifier may be required for wired applications. The included zippered pouch ensures safe storage and transport.
