Shure R198 Replacement Cartridge for 520DX
Product Overview
The Shure R198 is the OEM replacement cartridge for the Shure 520DX Green Bullet harmonica microphone, restoring original factory performance when the installed cartridge degrades or fails. It is the manufacturer-sourced solution for maintaining 520DX microphones used in live performance, studio recording, and broadcast applications. The R198 provides a direct, component-level repair path that extends microphone service life without a full unit replacement.
Product Description
The R198 is a genuine Shure replacement cartridge engineered to the same specifications as the original 520DX factory cartridge. Installation requires standard soldering with color-coded wire matching per Shure's official installation guide included with the unit. For production teams and performing artists maintaining a fleet of 520DX microphones, stocking the R198 eliminates downtime caused by cartridge wear or physical damage. The cartridge ships in standard Shure packaging with installation documentation.
