Shure Brothers Inc. R185B Microphone Cartridge Mx Models

Product Description

The SHURE BROTHERS INC. R185B is a replacement microphone cartridge designed for use with MX-series microphone models. The R185B provides a direct, OEM-style swap for worn or damaged capsules, restoring the signal pickup performance of compatible MX microphones. Installation is handled by audio-visual technicians and sound system professionals maintaining installed microphone systems in commercial, institutional, or live-sound environments. The cartridge ships as a single unit and is intended to bring a microphone back to factory operating specification without replacing the entire mic body.

The R185B is suited for professional and commercial audio installations where MX-series microphones are deployed. Typical applications include conference rooms, houses of worship, auditoriums, and presentation spaces that rely on boundary or gooseneck microphone configurations from the MX product line. Technicians servicing installed audio systems will find this cartridge a direct-replacement component for scheduled maintenance or field repair.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement cartridge for compatible SHURE BROTHERS INC. MX-series microphones. Consult the specific MX model documentation to confirm cartridge fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Cartridge replacement should be performed by a qualified audio-visual or sound system technician. Disconnect or mute all power to the microphone and associated phantom-power supply before removing the existing capsule. Handle the cartridge by its body to avoid contaminating the capsule diaphragm. Follow the applicable MX model service documentation for proper seating and retention of the replacement cartridge.
