Shure WL185M Lavalier Condenser Microphone w/ TA4F Conntector (Black)

Discreet, Broadcast-Quality Audio for Professional Applications

The Shure WL185m Low-Profile Cardioid Lavalier Condenser Microphone in Black is a professional-grade lavalier microphone designed for broadcast, journalism, presentations, and live performances across Australia. Featuring a TA4F connector for compatibility with Shure wireless bodypack transmitters, this compact microphone delivers exceptional vocal clarity in a sleek, 8mm shorter profile than its predecessor, the WL185, ensuring discreet placement. Its cardioid polar pattern and enhanced audio specifications make it ideal for speakers and performers requiring reliable, high-quality sound.

Crystal-Clear Vocal Reproduction

The WL185m’s cardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture on the wearer, effectively rejecting off-axis background noise and minimizing feedback from sound reinforcement systems, making it perfect for controlled environments like interviews, presentations, or theater. The electret condenser capsule provides a wide frequency response optimized for speech and vocals, with a 120.5 dB dynamic range, a high max SPL of 140.5 dB, and a low self-noise of 19.5 dB SPL for natural, detailed audio. Compared to the WL185, the WL185m offers improved presence response, higher SPL handling, and lower self-noise. 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, especially in black for dark clothing or low-visibility setups. 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 legendary durability, the microphone is robust enough for demanding environments, from broadcast studios to live stages. The TA4F connector ensures compatibility with Shure wireless systems like SLX-D, BLX, and ULX-D, while an external preamplifier (e.g., Shure RK100PK) is required for wired applications. The included zippered pouch provides secure storage and transport.
