Shure R136 Cartridge for SM48
Product Overview
The Shure R136 is a dynamic microphone replacement cartridge for the Shure SM48 and 587SB microphones. It restores original factory audio performance in handheld vocal and speech microphone applications, making it the correct service part for facilities and AV contractors maintaining SM48 or 587SB units. This genuine Shure replacement cartridge enables in-field repairs without requiring a full microphone replacement.
Product Description
The R136 installs into the SM48 and 587SB microphone body following the cartridge replacement procedure in the respective user guides, requiring basic tools and standard soldering technique. The SM48 is widely deployed across commercial AV systems, house of worship installations, government venues, and education facilities, making the R136 a commonly stocked service component for AV integrators and facilities teams. For organizations running large microphone inventories, maintaining R136 stock reduces repair turnaround time and keeps voice reinforcement systems operational. The cartridge seats into the existing shock-mount assembly and matches the original wiring configuration.
