Shure Microflex® MX100 Series microphones are wired lavalier electret condenser microphones designed for speech and vocal pickup, general purpose sound reinforcement, recording, and remote monitoring applications. They can be clipped to neckties, lapels, and other articles of clothing. Interchangeable cartridges make it possible to easily reconfigure microphone coverage as the need arises.
Microflex microphones use interchangeable cartridges that allow you to choose the polar pattern for different installations.
Slip the windscreen over the top of microphone so it covers side slots. The foam windscreen provides 5 to 10 dB of "pop" protection.
If necessary, the preamplifier gain can be reduced by 12 dB. Contact an authorized Shure service center for information.
Important: Microphones must be used with the RK100PK or RK202PK plate-mounted preamp to optimize RF immunity.
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.
