Shure Brothers Inc MX185 Directional Lavalier Mic

Product Description

The SHURE BROTHERS INC MX185 is a directional lavalier microphone designed for professional audio capture in demanding environments. The MX185 features a cardioid pickup pattern that rejects off-axis noise and ambient sound, making it well-suited for voice reinforcement, broadcast, and live sound applications. Its compact, low-profile form factor allows discreet clip-on placement at the chest or collar. Audio professionals and AV integrators working in houses of worship, corporate presentation rooms, and broadcast studios rely on this style of condenser lavalier for consistent, close-mic performance.

The MX185 is appropriate for use in both fixed-installation and portable wireless systems where a discreet, high-quality lavalier is required. It is commonly deployed in conference rooms, auditoriums, stages, and broadcast sets. The directional pickup characteristic makes it a practical choice in acoustically challenging spaces where ambient noise rejection is a priority. Installation is typically performed by AV system integrators or qualified sound engineers.
