MX183BP/MX184BP/MX185BP Microflex Lavalier

Wired Lavalier Microphones with Battery Powered Preamplifier

The Microflex Lavalier microphones bring a new level of sophistication to personal voice reproduction. Like all Microflex family mics, the Lavaliers use Shure's interchangeable condenser cartridges, available in cardioid, supercardioid or omnidirectional polar patterns.

Models MX183BP/MX184BP/MX185BP are wired lavalier electret condenser mics designed for speech and vocal pickup. They can be clipped to neckties, lapels, and other articles of clothing. Interchangeable cartridges make it possible to easily reconfigure microphone coverage. The supplied MX1BP battery-powered preamplifier allows use of these microphones when phantom power is not available.
