WL50 Professional Subminiature Lavalier Microphones


Product Code: wl50

 Shure's WL50 lavalier microphone series sets a new standard for miniature microphones. Visually unobtrusive, the WL50s are ideal for theater, television broadcast, video/film, and event production. Designed for applications that require minimal visibility without compromising sound quality, these microphones are available individually, as well as with the Shure ULX, UHF and UC Wireless Systems.
Features
  • All models include foam windscreens, swiveling lapel clip, dual tie clip, magnet mount, and mini mount
  • Subminiature size (5.8 mm diameter x 11 mm height)
  • Electret condenser cartridge
  • Omnidirectional pattern
  • One termination: 4-pin mini connector (fits directly into Shure wireless transmitters)
  • Two sensitivities available:
    Standard: -40 dBV/Pa (for speech applications)
    Reduced: -50 dBV/Pa (10 dB more headroom for theater applications)
  • Interchangeable equalization caps for optimal clarity and response:
  • Silver mesh cap provides a 4 dB boost in the 8-18 kHz range - typically used in applications that require a microphone to be head-mounted
  • Gold mesh cap provides a 10 dB boost centered at 12 kHz - typically used in applications that require a chest-worn microphone
  • Black, beige, and white models are available
  • All models include magnet mount, lapel clip, dual tie clip, pin mount, and two foam windscreens
  • Frequency response: 20-20,000 Hz
