GENERAL

Models MX183, MX184,

 

and

 

MX185

 

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.

FEATURES

Wide dynamic range and frequency response for accurate
sound reproduction across the audio spectrum

Interchangeable cartridges that provide an optimal choice
for each application

Rotatable tie-clip that pivots in 90

°

 increments for place-

ment flexibility

Supplied snap-fit foam windscreen that controls breath
noise and stays on securely

Balanced, transformerless output for increased immunity
to noise over long cable runs

Supplied dual tie clip holds two microphones for dual mik-
ing applications

New RF filtering

MODEL VARIATIONS

MX183 (Omnidirectional): 

Provides low handling noise.

Pickup angle = 360

°

.

MX184 (Supercardioid): 

Provides high rejection of ambient

noise and narrow pickup angle. Use of windscreen highly
recommended. Pickup angle (-3 dB) = 115

°

.

MX185 (Cardioid): 

Provides good rejection of ambient noise.

Use of windscreen highly recommended. Pickup angle (-3 dB) =
130

°

.

GENERAL RULES FOR LAVALIER MICROPHONE USE

1. Attach the lavalier microphone approximately 76 mm to

152 mm (3 to 6 in.) below the neckline for the best sound.

2. Do not cover the microphone with your hand or clothing.
3. Use one of the supplied windscreens to minimize wind and

breath noise.

4. If four or more microphones will be active at any given time,

use of an automatic mixer, such as the Shure SCM810 or
FP410, is recommended. 

USING THE TIE CLIP

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. Refer to Figure 1.

USING THE WINDSCREENS

Snap-fit windscreen: 

press it down on the microphone until it

clicks into place inside the upper groove on the microphone.
Provides 30 dB of “pop” protection.

NOTE:

 The snap-fit windscreen can be removed by spreading 

the slot in the plastic snap-fit ring.

Foam windscreen: 

Slip the windscreen over the top of the

microphone so that it covers the side slots. The foam windscreen
provides 5 to 10 dB of “pop” protection.

CHANGING CARTRIDGES

The MX183, MX184, and MX185 microphones use

interchangeable cartridges. To remove the cartridge, unscrew it
from the microphone body, as shown in Figure 2. Install the
replacement cartridge by screwing it onto the microphone body.

ADJUSTING PREAMP GAIN

 (Figure 3)

The MX100 microphone includes an adjustable gain

preamplifier, allowing the user to specify a 

12 dB

 or 

0 dB

 gain

setting. The preamp ships at the 

12 dB 

setting. To reduce the

signal gain at the MX100 preamplifier by 

12 dB

, replace the gain

resistors to the 

0 dB

 setting (Table 3A).

RF FILTERING

MX100 Series must be used with RK100PK preamplifier in order

to optimize RF immunity.
