Shure KSM11 Cardioid Condenser Capsule for Shure Wireless Microphones (Black) - RPW192

Product Overview

The Shure KSM11 wireless capsule (RPW192, black) is a premium cardioid condenser vocal capsule that threads onto Shure handheld wireless transmitters with interchangeable capsules. It delivers full low end, transparent mid-range, and natural high-end detail with near-perfect off-axis rejection, making it a state-of-the-art cardioid condenser wireless microphone capsule for live performance and premium streaming. The black finish matches ULX-D and Axient Digital handheld transmitters in professional AV deployments.

Product Description

The RPW192 brings the KSM11 condenser transducer to Shure's wireless handheld platform, giving AV integrators and production teams a high-end vocal capsule that drops onto existing transmitters without replacing the radio. A proprietary condenser capsule with a 3/4-inch gold diaphragm and premium electronics provides exceptional dynamic range and transient response for demanding vocal applications. The deep, highly consistent cardioid polar pattern reduces off-axis phase distortion, keeping vocals focused and minimizing bleed in loud rooms and multi-microphone setups. An advanced suspended isolation system delivers virtually zero handling noise, and a dent-resistant hardened steel grille with 3-stage plosive reduction keeps vocals artifact-free during energetic use. The RPW192 is compatible with all Shure handheld transmitters that accept interchangeable microphone capsules, including ULX-D and Axient Digital, which simplifies standardizing capsule performance across a wireless fleet. For facilities specifying finish-matched hardware, the nickel version is the Shure KSM11 RPW194, and a complete handheld option is the Shure QLXD2/KSM9 handheld transmitter. Confirm transmitter compatibility before deployment.
