Shure RPW184 – KSM9 Wireless Replacement Element, Black
Product Overview
The Shure RPW184 is a genuine OEM replacement cartridge and housing assembly for Shure wireless handheld transmitters equipped with the KSM9 condenser capsule in black. It is the correct replacement element for KSM9-equipped wireless transmitters, restoring the premium dual-polar-pattern condenser performance of the KSM9 after capsule damage. The RPW184 is compatible with Shure wireless systems that accept the KSM9 interchangeable capsule, including select ULXD, QLXD, and Axient Digital handheld transmitter models. Limit of one per order applies.
Product Description
The KSM9 is Shure’s premium wireless condenser capsule, featuring dual-diaphragm construction with gold-layered Mylar diaphragms and switchable cardioid/supercardioid polar patterns. It is specified in demanding commercial AV, broadcast, and high-end live sound applications where consistent, high-quality vocal reproduction is required. When an RPW184 capsule is damaged, the RPW184 replacement element restores that same KSM9 performance to the transmitter body. This is an essential spare for AV integrators and systems engineers managing KSM9 wireless deployments in boardrooms, broadcast studios, or houses of worship. The black finish matches black-bodied Shure wireless transmitters. For a comparable element in the KSM9HS variant, see the Shure RPW186.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the RPW184 replace?
The RPW184 is the replacement element for Shure wireless transmitters originally equipped with the KSM9 condenser capsule in black. It replaces a damaged or worn capsule and housing assembly to restore original KSM9 performance.
Which Shure wireless systems are compatible?
The RPW184 is compatible with Shure handheld transmitters that accept the KSM9 capsule, including select models in the ULXD, QLXD, and Axient Digital families. Verify your specific transmitter model against Shure’s compatibility documentation before ordering.
What is the difference between the RPW184 (KSM9) and RPW186 (KSM9HS)?
