Shure MX185, Cardioid Lavalier Microphone, Cardioid Condenser Lavalier Microphone with 4’ (1.2m) attached cable, Belt-Clip Preamp with XLR, Rotable Tie Clip, Dual Tie Clip, Snap-Fit Windscreen

What is the MX185 best suited to?

The MX185 cardioid miniature lavalier condenser microphone is designed for use in speech applications such as broadcast presenting, speeches, lectures and for use in houses of worship.

What is an interchangeable cartridge?

All the Microflex series of microphones use interchangeable cartridges (sold separately) which means you can swap between cardioid, supercardioid and omnidirectional condenser cartridges simply by screwing them on to the top of the lavalier mic.

Want to go wireless?

The MX185 is designed for wired use and includes an in-line preamplifier and a 1.2m cable with TA4F connector. If you wish to go wireless, choose the WL185 which is the same microphone but without the pre-amplifier and connects directly into any Shure wireless bodypack.
