Shure Brothers Inc SM48LC Cardioid Dynamic Microphone

Product Description

The SHURE BROTHERS INC SM48LC is a cardioid dynamic microphone sold without a cable. Dynamic microphones of this type use a moving-coil element to convert sound pressure into an electrical signal, making them durable and well-suited to live and studio environments. The cardioid polar pattern focuses pickup on the front of the capsule and reduces pickup from the sides and rear. It ships as a single unit and is intended for professional audio applications where a separate cable is supplied by the installer or end user.

This microphone is used in live sound reinforcement, broadcast setups, recording studios, and installed audio systems. Because it ships without a cable, it is appropriate for professionals who already have a preferred XLR cable on hand or are replacing a microphone within an existing cable infrastructure. It is sold as a single unit (EA) and falls under the microphone accessories and stand category.

Key Features

Designed as a standard cardioid dynamic microphone for use with professional audio equipment accepting a standard XLR connection. No specific compatible model numbers or replacement part numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified audio technician or professional familiar with signal chain routing and grounding best practices. Ensure the receiving mixer or preamp input is muted or set to minimum gain before connecting the microphone. Because this is a dynamic microphone, phantom power is not required and should be confirmed off to avoid potential signal issues. Secure the microphone to a compatible stand using an appropriate adapter before connecting the XLR signal cable.
