WL51 Series Of Cardioid Mics From Shure

Shure's latest addition to its line of subminiature lavalier microphones is the WL51 Series, a product group comprising five new cardioid models.

Designed for house of worship, theatre, event production and television broadcast use, the WL51 is intended for applications in which sound reinforcement systems create louder ambient environments that require the use of an inconspicuous, cardioid microphone.

Weighing only .34 grams with a diameter of 5.8 mm, each WL51 model has a frequency response of 20 to 20 kHz, a dynamic range of 103 dB, maximum output of 138 dB SPL, and a low self-noise rating of 35 dB.

The WL51 comes finished in either black or white and offers a choice of termination options including 10ft. tinned leads or a 5ft. lead ending in a TA4F connector. The hardwired model (MC51B) is available only in black, with a 5ft. lead/TA4F connector and inline preamp.

Standard features included with all models are a swiveling lapel clip, dual-microphone tie clip, pin mount (vampire clip), magnet mount, and foam windscreen. The WL51 is sold separately, as well as with Shure UHF, UC, and LX wireless systems.

List prices for the series range from $337 to $355.
