Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this compatible with the Shure SLXD1 body pack?

A: No. This version of the Shure UL4 UniPlex Cardioid Subminiature Lavalier Microphone has a standard 3-pin XLR connector for connection to the mic input on a mixer, amplifier, recorder, camera, etc. The Shure SLXD1 Bodypack Transmitter requires a TA4F 4-pin mini-XLR female connector for connection to a wireless bodypack transmitter. You will want to use the Shure UL4 UniPlex Cardioid Subminiature Lavalier Microphone for Bodypack Transmitter - Black, TA4F (B&H # SHUL4BCMTQGA) for connection to the Shure SLXD1 Transmitter.

Q: 2. Is there a Sony version of this microphone? I don't see any listing for Sony. I understand that the Sony wireless mic's have a different pin configuration for power.

A: What you could do is get the DPA Microphones 6060 CORE Subminiature Normal Sensitivity Omni Lavalier Microphone - Black (B&H # DP6060OCUB00) with a Microdot connector, not packaged with any adapter, then purchase the compatible Sony adapter separately. For the Sony adapter, you can use the DPA Microphones DAD6019 Microdot to 1/8" Mini Connector for Sony Transmitters (B&H # DPDAD6019) or the Deity Microphones DA35S Microdot to Locking 3.5mm Adapter for Sony Transmitters (B&H # DEKSMDTDA35S). The DPA adapter is made in Denmark and the Deity adapter is made in China. Both adapters will work to enable compatibility with a Sony transmitter. When purchased separately, the 6060 CORE with the Microdot connector and DPA's Microdot adapter for Sony come out to the same price as the 6060 CORE that comes packaged with the Sennheiser adapter.

Q: 3. how do you use this mic when recording to say a tascam 70d???

A: The Shure WL93-6 features a 4 pin female connector (TA4F) designed for connection to a Shure wireless system transmitter only. This version will not connect to a recorder such as the DR-70D. The Shure SM93 is the same microphone and ships with an XLR preamp that can be powered by a recorder that offers XLR mic inputs such as the Tascam unit.

Q: 4. Do they have this in a mini jack version, so I can connect it to my h1?

A: A Zoom H1 will not support the necessary power requirement for a Shure WL93. The WL93's condenser element requires 5+Vdc to operate whereas the Zoom H1's powered 3.5mm input provides only 2.5 volts of plug-in power. To ensure compatibility with your H1, you will need to select another plug-in mic that either has a condenser or MEMS style element with a lower power requirement or has a dynamic element requiring no power.

Q: 5. Is there a sensitivity spec for the mic so it can be compared with others?

A: The sensitivity secifications for the Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold Series Lavlaier Microphone are as follows: in free field, no load (1kHz) 5 mV/Pa +- 3 dB.

Q: 6. is this lavalier compatible with my Sennheiser EW 512P G4 wireless system? can I plug it straight into the transmitter?

A: Yes, the DPA Microphones 6060 CORE Subminiature Normal Sensitivity Omni Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Sennheiser Adapter is compatible with Sennheiser EW 512P G4 transmitters.

Q: 7. Would this work with a Shure SLX1 body pack?

A: Yes, the Shure UL4 UniPlex Cardioid Subminiature Lavalier Microphone is compatible with SLX1 bodypack transmitters.

Q: 8. Is this compatible with blx4r

A: The Shure UL4 UniPlex Cardioid Subminiature Lavalier will be compatible with the BLX1 body pack that is compatible with the BLX4R receiver.

Q: 9. Has anyone tried hiding this mic in clothing so you can't see it? Is it a good option for doing interviews in loud locations?

A: The Shure UL4 UniPlex Cardioid Subminiature Lavalier Microphone can be used under clothing with a rubber mount like the LMC Sound CMTBK C Mount Universal Lavalier Mount (B&H # LMCMTBK) or the LMC Sound CMTVPRBK C Mount Vampire Clip Universal Lavalier Mount (B&H # LMCMTVPRBK) which has a dual-pin back. The mic can also be mounted and isolated with soft foam pads like the Viviana Pads Soft Foam Mounts for Lavalier Microphones - 12-Pack, Black (B&H # VIVPB12P), which can also be used to secure the rubber mount to clothing or skin. To prevent additional noise from cable friction, you can use the Bubblebee Industries Rubber Lavalier Cable Savers - 4-Pack (B&H # BUBBILCS4BL). The mic's cardioid pickup pattern will help to reduce background noise.

Q: 10. What's the most space efficient wired device to get phantom power to the MKE-2 and connect it to a USB-C on a Mac? I'm only recording wired on a Mac desktop with the MKE-2. Thank you so much.
