Description

Shure WL185M Lavalier Microphone in Black with TA4F Connector

The WL185M is a professional low-profile cardioid lavalier microphone designed for use with compatible wireless bodypack transmitters. Finished in black for discreet placement, this updated model is 8 mm shorter than its predecessor while delivering full, accurate sound and enhanced presence for crystal clear vocal reproduction. The cardioid polar pattern focuses on the speaker’s voice while helping reduce background noise, making it ideal for presenters, performers, and broadcast applications.

With improved dynamic range, higher maximum SPL handling, and lower self-noise compared to the original WL18X series, the WL185M offers refined audio performance in demanding environments. The TA4F connector ensures secure compatibility with Shure bodypack transmitters using the standard 4-pin mini configuration.

For flexible and precise placement, the innovative tie clip rotates in 90-degree intervals, allowing optimal mic positioning. Each microphone includes a snap-fit foam windscreen, a single tie clip, and a zippered storage bag for convenient transport and protection.
