Shure WL183m Low-Profile Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone | Superior Wireless Audio for Professional Presentations
The Shure WL183m Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone is a professional-grade microphone designed for interviews, presentations, broadcasting, and video applications. With its discreet, low-profile design, the WL183m provides exceptional audio performance while remaining unobtrusive, making it ideal for use in corporate settings, film/video production, and live sound reinforcement.
Featuring a subminiature omnidirectional capsule, the WL183m captures sound evenly in all directions, ensuring consistent audio levels even when the speaker is not directly facing the microphone. This forgiving polar pattern is ideal for dynamic situations like interviews or presentations, where the speaker may move or shift during performance.
The microphone’s improved presence response and higher dynamic range deliver crystal-clear speech and vocals, while its low self-noise (just 20 dB SPL) ensures that even subtle sounds are captured without interference. The WL183m can handle sound pressure levels up to 141 dB SPL with only 1% total harmonic distortion (THD), providing ample headroom for broadcast-quality audio.
With a frequency response tailored for speech (ranging from 70 Hz to 20 kHz), the WL183m naturally filters out unwanted low frequencies while capturing the clarity and detail of higher frequencies. This results in transparent speech reproduction, perfect for interviews, podcasts, presentations, and more.
The 4-foot cable, terminating in a TA4F connector, makes the WL183m compatible with a wide range of Shure wireless bodypack transmitters (sold separately), including models like the Axient AD1, BLX1, GLXD1, QLXD1, and ULXD1, among others. The microphone also works with third-party transmitters that support 5 VDC plug-in power through a TA4M connector.
Included with the WL183m are a snap-fit windscreen to minimize wind noise and plosives, an adjustable lapel clip that rotates 90° for optimal placement, and a zippered storage pouch to keep the microphone safe when not in use.
