Discreet, Broadcast-Quality Audio for Professional Use
The Shure WL185m Low-Profile Cardioid Lavalier Condenser Microphone in White is a professional-grade lavalier microphone designed for broadcast, journalism, presentations, and performances across Australia. Featuring a TA4F connector for compatibility with Shure wireless bodypack transmitters, this compact microphone delivers crystal-clear vocals with an 8mm shorter profile than its predecessor, the WL185, for discreet placement. Its cardioid polar pattern and improved audio specifications make it ideal for speakers, presenters, and performers requiring reliable, high-quality audio.
Crystal-Clear Vocal Reproduction
The WL185m features a cardioid polar pattern that focuses audio capture on the wearer, rejecting off-axis background noise and reducing feedback from sound reinforcement equipment, perfect for controlled environments like presentations or interviews. The electret condenser capsule offers a wide frequency response (optimized for speech and vocals), a 120.5 dB dynamic range, and a low self-noise of 19.5 dB SPL, ensuring natural, detailed sound. Compared to the original WL185, the WL185m provides improved presence response, higher max SPL (140.5 dB), and lower self-noise for enhanced clarity. Optimized for a 5V DC plug-in power source, it includes a 4 ft (1.2 m) cable for flexible positioning.
Compact and Versatile Design
The WL185m’s low-profile design, 8mm shorter than the WL185, blends seamlessly with attire, making it nearly invisible on camera or stage, especially in white for light-colored clothing. The adjustable lapel clip rotates 90° for precise mic placement, and the snap-fit windscreen minimizes plosives and wind noise for clean recordings. Built with Shure’s renowned durability, the microphone is robust for demanding environments, and the included zippered pouch ensures safe storage and transport. The TA4F connector is compatible with Shure wireless systems like SLX-D, BLX, and ULX-D, and requires an external preamplifier (e.g., Shure RK100PK) for wired applications.
