All of the microphones in the line are outfitted with proprietary Commshield interference immunity, which guards against unwanted RF interference from portable wireless devices, offering high resistance to intense nearby radio signals.
All models carry a two-year limited warranty, and will be available for purchase from select retailers in early November.
“Budget-conscious customers requiring installed and portable applications for basic sound reinforcement, such as vocal amplification, will immediately benefit from our Centraverse line, as the product line combines best-in-class performance with simplicity and affordability,” says Chad Wiggins, category director for wired microphones at Shure. “To ensure the mics are well-suited for their intended environments, we also focused on the aesthetics, designing the products with a modern and industrial style that still offers Shure’s sound quality, reliability, and functionality.”
