Shure MX183 Microflex Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone
The Shure MX183 is a professional omnidirectional lavalier condenser microphone from the Microflex series, designed for clear, natural voice reproduction in conference rooms, boardrooms, houses of worship, theater, and broadcast applications. Its omnidirectional polar pattern captures sound uniformly from all directions, making it ideal when the speaker moves or when natural room sound is desired.
The miniature design ensures discreet placement on clothing or lapels. It features a 1.2 m (4 ft) attached cable terminated with a TA4F connector for direct connection to Shure wireless bodypack transmitters or MX400 series preamps. The microphone includes a snap-fit windscreen, tie clip, and interchangeable cartridge system for flexibility. Its wide dynamic range and smooth frequency response deliver natural, intelligible speech with minimal handling noise.
