  • Wide dynamic range and frequency response for accurate sound reproduction across the audio spectrum
  • Interchangeable cartridges that provide an optimal choice for each application
  • Rotatable tie-clip that pivots in 90 degree increments for placement flexibility
  • Supplied snap-fit foam windscreen that controls breath noise and stays on securely
  • Supplied dual tie clip holds two microphones for dual miking applications

What is the WL185 best suited to?

The WL185 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 seperately) 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 use it wired?

The WL185 is designed for wireless use with a bodypack transmitter. If you wish to use it wired, choose the MX185 which is the same microphone but including an in-line preamplifier and a 1.2m cable with TA4F connector.

Models WL183, WL184 and WL185 are lavalier electret condenser microphones for use with a wireless bodypack transmitter. Each microphone has a 1.2 meter (4 ft.) cable terminated with a miniature 4-pin connector (TA4F). The furnished tie clip can be rotated in 90° intervals for placement flexibility.

MODEL VARIATIONS

WL183 (Omnidirectional): General purpose sound reinforcement, recording, or remote monitoring applications. Low handling noise. Pickup angle is 360°. WL184 (Supercardioid): Sound reinforcement applications requiring high rejection of ambient noise and narrow pickup angle. Use of windscreen highly recommended. Pickup angle is 115°. WL185 (Cardioid): General purpose sound reinforcement applications requiring good rejection of ambient noise. Use of windscreen highly recommended. Pickup angle is 130°.

INSTALLATION

1. Insert the top of the microphone through tie clip loop from below until tie clip loop snaps into place over the lower groove on the microphone. 2. To install the snap-fit windscreen, press it down on the microphone until it clicks into place inside the upper groove on the microphone. The snap-fit windscreen provides 30 dB of pop protection. 3. Attach the microphone approximately 76 mm to 152 mm (3 to 6 in.) below the neckline.

Note

  • The snap-fit windscreen can be removed by spreading the slot in the plastic snapfit ring.
  • To install the smaller foam windscreen, slip the windscreen over the top of the microphone so that it covers the side slots. The foam windscreen provides 5 to 10 dB of pop protection
