Shure RPW116 – Wireless SM87A Replacement Cartridge Assembly
Product Overview
The Shure RPW116 is a genuine OEM replacement cartridge, housing assembly, and matte grille for Shure wireless handheld transmitters equipped with the SM87A condenser capsule. It is the correct service part for restoring SM87A wireless vocal performance when an existing capsule is damaged, ensuring consistent audio quality across a commercial wireless microphone deployment. Compatible with Shure interchangeable wireless systems including ULXD, QLXD, SLXD, and Axient Digital handheld transmitters.
Product Description
The SM87A is a cardioid condenser capsule designed for vocal applications, providing detailed reproduction suited to corporate presentations, house of worship, and live sound reinforcement. The RPW116 replaces the capsule, housing, and matte grille as a complete assembly, maintaining the SM87A's cardioid condenser characteristics after a capsule replacement. For AV integrators managing Shure wireless microphone infrastructure across multiple rooms or venues, the RPW116 is an important stock item that avoids the cost of full transmitter replacement when capsule damage occurs. Limit of one per order applies.
