Hypercardioid Headworn Condenser Microphone |

Product Code: wcm16

The Shure Model WCM16 headworn
electret condenser microphone is intended for wireless use by
performers, lecturers, and others who require the highest quality
voice pickup with maximum mobility. Its wide frequency response,
low RF susceptibility and reliable operation at temperature and
humidity extremes make the WCM16 suitable for virtually any vocal
application. When used with the Shure bodypack transmitters, the
performance of the WCM16 closely resembles the finest conventional
vocal microphones.
Miniaturized active circuitry included in the cartridge assembly
provides equalization that tailors the low-frequency response to
resemble the warmproximity effect of larger vocal microphones.
Because of this low-end response, it is not necessary to position
the microphone directly in front of the mouth, thus avoiding much
popping and breath noise, even without the supplied foam pop
screen.
The microphone's hypercardioid unidirectional pickup pattern
provides maximum isolation from ambient noise and from adjacent
sound sources such as musical instruments, loudspeakers and other
performers. This permits higher gain-before-feedback without loss
or masking of vocals. |
