The Shure PGA98D-LC Cardioid Drum Microphonefrom Shure PGA98D-LC Cardioid Drum Microphoneis a professional-quality cardioid condenser microphone optimized for drums and percussion; also, it is designed with a drum mount, a flexible gooseneck, and an integrated preamplifier. It can be used to capture audio in applications for live stage, theater, recording studios, houses of worship, and more.

The PGA98D-LC is built with a molded one-piece drum mount for fast, low-profile mounting and removal. The cast zinc housing provides durable construction with an updated design, which is now with a black metallic finish and grill. In addition, the integrated preamplifier provides a direct XLR connection for the 11-52 VDC phantom power required to power the microphone.

The microphone cartridge of the PGA98D-LC is tailored for clear reproduction of drum and percussion sound sources with its 60 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response. The flexible gooseneck also makes accurate positioning of the mic an easy setup. Finally, a zipper pouch is included for additional protection during storage or transport.

Q: 3. what kind of adapter do I need to convert this to wired for use with the XLR inputs on my Zoom H4 recorder?

A: The Shure Wired TwinPlex Microphone Preamp with Belt Clip (TA4F to XLR) (BH #SHRPM400TQG) is recommended to convert the TA4F connector on the Shure CVL Centraverse Cardioid Lavalier Microphone to XLR for use with XLR input connections: https://bhpho.to/3QsFd6O

Q: 4. I need a microphone mixer with two xlr inputs. Any suggestions?

A: BH #ALM4USBFXPTX

Q: 5. What is the easiest and most lightweight way to use this microphone with a Sony A7S III camera? Which additional products would I need to buy?

A: To connect the Shure MX185 - Cardioid Wired Lavalier Microphone to a camera input such as that found on the Sony a7S III Mirrorless Camera, an adapter such as the Sony XLR-K3M Dual-Channel Digital XLR Audio Adapter (BH #SOXLRK3M) could be used to interface with the camera's Multi Interface Shoe. Alternatively, a camera mixer such as the Beachtek DXA-MICRO-PRO Active XLR Compact Adapter (BH #BEDXAMICROP) could be used to receive and power the MX185 over XLR connection and send signal into the a7S via its 3.5mm input.

Q: 6. Is this suitable for use with the MXW1 bodypack or do you need the WL185 instead?

A: Yes, the Shure MX185 Cardioid Wired Lavalier Microphone, with its XLR preamplifier removed, is compatible for use with the Shure MXW1 Hybrid Bodypack Transmitter with Microphone.

Q: 7. Will this microphone drum mount fit on a Audix F10 or F12 mic?

A: I've never tried them on Audix mics but if you have mic clips for F10 and F12, then you should be ok. You can even attach regular microphone clips on to this rim mount too.

Q: 8. How long is the cord, what plug does it use?

A: The cable length is 51"/1.3m long, and it uses a TA4/mini-XLR-male cable connection.

Q: 9. what cable to use with SM81-LC?

A: xlr3 cable! like any mic..

Q: 10. What is TA4S?

A: I assume you meant TA4F-- this is the type of connector on this microphone. Pretty sure it is a Shure proprietary connector, so you would want a mic with this if you're connecting to a Shure wireless system. They are small, round, and have 4 pins. Sometimes they're used for specialty wired mics as well.

[1.25 lb] I’m not a career sound person. I do videography part-time (nights/weekends). My points of reference are built-in camera mics; DLSR add-ons like Rode’s Pro (short shotgun) & Stereo Pro; and built-in mics on portable recorders, like Zoom H5 & H1. Compared to those, my Shure PGA81-XLR’s have been a step up. The balanced line XLR cables pick up less ambient RF noise, giving me less audio clean-up work in post, and better audio results for the clean-up that I still do. And the cardiod pick-up pattern helps reduce audience noise, and phase interference between mics used in xy pairs for stereo. These are built like little tanks. I’ve had them 2 years, and use them every shoot. Seem indestructible. They list at 40-20,000 Hz (I guess all the dogs & toddlers listening to my videos appreciate the 10k+ end; I can’t hear it). Since these have no built-in low-cut (a.k.a. high-pass), I use them in shock cages on mic stands and don’t handle them during recording. This works very well. (Tip: in floor-pounding environments like theater, I like to put the mic stands atop a hand-cut circle of Damplifier automobile sound dampening foam.) I’m not qualified to comment on the ear-love from these: how “warm” or “sizzly” or “present” or they are (“with hints of oak, hominy, and spent transmission fluid”). But I am very fussy about sound, and these have been my go-to mics for best capture. I’ve used them for 50-piece orchestra projects; the conductor said the recording “brought tears to his eyes.” (Yeah, yeah, I know: happy tears!) I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them, at least for anyone like me, looking to up their audio game from the non-XLR realm. But if your first use is run-and-gun video, then consider instead something like the Audio-Technica AT2022 or AT875R, since both are designed for DSLR-mounting. The 2022 is for low background noise settings and where stereo is important. The 875R is for high ambient/competing noise settings and where monaural sound is no big sacrifice. 5

[Phantom Power] I was on a tight budget and needed two additional mics. I would ordinarily buy the standard Shure SM58, but a B&H rep pointed out that the PGA58 Is a similar professional level model, and 60% of the price. I used an SM58 and the two new PGA58s in an outdoor concert, and could not tell the difference. The SM58 may be a bit more sturdy (it's known to be indestructible), but the PGA58 was excellent for the occasion! 5

[10.1 x 5 x 3.4"] I bought this to replace some ancient mics for poetry readings. Solidly built (as expected from Shure) and sound was good and warmer than the vintage mics it replaced. None of the readers or emcee had any issue with the range of pick-up as another reviewer mentioned. 5

[Cardioid] I bought a pair of these to mic my C7 and classical guitar. Although I am still experimenting with various placements, all placements that I have tried have produced excellent results. Seems to be flat and accurate. 5

[Phantom Power] I bought these Mic's for a upgrade with a purchase of a Pyle Pro PT210 120W PA Mixer/Amplifier. I can say they work well with each other, Quality, voice was 100% . This was used in our club house for our meetings which consist of about 100 people. Thanks again B&H for the Great service. Frank W. 5

[Mono] After doing much research I settled on buying 2 of these. I had done some previous recording with 2 SM57's, but the SM81's have a flatter sound. I have only used these to record trumpet, but they sound is great and handles the loud sound and quick response very well. I also bought a Fathead Cascade to put right at my bell, and I personally like that sound better when I'm running only one mic. The 81's are going to sound great in the hall though. I do wish that they made one box for two mics. 5
