Shure WL183 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with TA4F Connector (Black)

The WL183 lav filters out unwanted low frequencies below 50 Hz and sharp highs in the range above 17 kHz to provide clear, intelligible speech for instructors, journalists, and presenters doing interviews, voiceovers, and dialog. The microphone capsule can handle SPL levels up to 125 dB, while the forgiving omnidirectional polar pattern picks up sound evenly from all around the mic, helping to provide consistent levelsa even when the talent turns away from the mic.
