Shure Brothers MX183 Condenser Lavalier Microphone

Product Description

The SHURE BROTHERS, INC. MX183 is an omnidirectional condenser lavalier microphone designed for professional wireless and wired audio applications. Lavalier microphones of this type clip discreetly to clothing, placing the capsule close to the speaker for consistent pickup regardless of head movement. The omnidirectional polar pattern captures sound evenly from all directions, making it a practical choice in environments where the speaker cannot remain stationary. Audio engineers, AV technicians, broadcast professionals, and live sound operators are the primary installers and users of this class of microphone.

The MX183 is suited for presentation, broadcast, theater, and house-of-worship applications where a low-profile wearable microphone is required. It fits into lavalier wireless microphone systems and is sold as a single unit. Its small form factor keeps it unobtrusive on camera talent, lecturers, and performers. Installation is typically performed by AV systems integrators or experienced audio technicians familiar with wireless bodypack transmitter systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed or experienced AV technicians and audio engineers. Before connecting or disconnecting the microphone from a bodypack transmitter, power down the transmitter to avoid signal spikes that may damage downstream equipment. Route the microphone cable under clothing to minimize handling noise and keep the capsule positioned 6 to 8 inches below the chin for optimal voice pickup. Follow the transmitter and receiver manufacturer guidelines for frequency coordination and gain structure setup.
