Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Where are these made?

A: These are made in Mexico.

Q: 2. Will this microphone work with the Shure Beta inline xlr preamp using phantom power?

A: Yes, it is compatible.

Q: 3. Hello. I would like to connect the MX185 to my DSLR (Canon t7i) mini jack and need phantom power for it to work. Can I use something like the IK Multimedia iRig Pre? WL185 to RK100PK preamp to iRig Pre to DSLR (with TRRS to TRS adapter). Are there better options to get phantom power and connect to the DSLR? Many thanks.

A: The iRig Pre can work if used with a TRRS to TRS adapter like the Rode SC3 (B&H # ROSC3), but there are other camera-mountable systems like the Beachtek DXA-MICRO-PRO Active XLR Compact Adapter (B&H # BEDXAMICROP), Comica Audio CVM-AX3 Dual-Channel Audio Mixer for DSLRs (B&H # COCVMAX3), or Saramonic SR-PAX1 Two-Channel Audio Mixer, Preamp, Microphone Adapter (B&H # SASRPAX1) which are specifically for use with cameras. Please feel free to contact us if you would like further assistance.

Q: 4. How long is the cord, what connector does it use?

A: This mic has a 4' cable length, and comes with a ta4f connection wired for Shure wireless systems.

Q: 5. is this good for noise enviroments? what is best use for this mic

A: This mic is good for speech and vocal.But I would recommend you this mic for speech and presentation. And also You have to adjust the mic gain control in the body pack. If you use the audio mixer, set the mic gain control knob to get the best sound. This is good for speech and vocal. Good luck.

Q: 6. How about feedback? Does it get much feedback?

A: No, the PGA58 is not prone to feedback. Its cardioid polar pattern focuses on the user's voice while rejecting unwanted background noise and delivers a clear and natural tone.

Q: 7. 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: 8. can this microphone work with external voice recorders such as Zoom h1n?

A: No, the Shure CVL Centraverse Cardioid Lavalier Microphone is not compatible for direct connection to the Zoom H1n Portable Handy Recorder. The CVL has a TA4F (4-pin mini-XLR female) connector and the input on the recorder is 3.5mm TRS. In order to use the CVL, you would need to use the Shure Wired TwinPlex Microphone Preamp with Belt Clip - TA4F to XLR (B&H # SHRPM400TQG) together with a phantom power supply such as the Xvive Audio P1 Portable Phantom Power Supply with Rechargeable Battery (B&H # XVP1), and an XLR female to 3.5mm TRS male cable like the Kopul XRSM 3-Pin XLR Female to 3.5mm RA Stereo Mini-Plug Cable - 1.5' (B&H # KOXRSM015B).

Q: 9. Will this work with the DJI Mic 2 system?

A: The Shure CVL Centraverse Cardioid Lavalier Microphone cannot be used with the DJI Mic 2 2-Person Compact Digital Wireless Microphone System/Recorder for Camera & Smartphone (2.4 GHz), the connector is a mini-XLR and the DJI Mic2 system requires a 3.5mm connector.

Q: 10. I want to plug this directly into a PA that has no phantom power. Can I do this, or will I need a separate power source between the mic and the PA? And if so, what will work? Thank you

A: You will still need a power source. Something ike this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/155422-REG/Rolls_PB23_PB23_Single_Channel.html?sts=pi&pim=Y

[End Address] excellent work! 5

[Solid-State] I purchased two of these to use at Church Service. Using this with a Shure Belt Pack system. Really good results with speech and singing. Good quality product at a very reasonable price. 5

[Cardioid] Great mic, nothing bad to say 5

Jerry	25/07/2024
[Cardioid] The microphone was fairly simple to install--either had to drill a 7/8 or a 1-3/4 hole in the pulpit to establish a firm holder, but the hardware was there and the microphone works very well. 5

[Cardioid] I bought it for kids' school musical of Shrek. Great mics, there are two ways to wear them which is awesome. Quality is great, but we were using superb Shure mic system 5

[2 lb] Adding to my VDrum configuration was easy with the assistance of the great people at B&H. I bought my original TD25KV's from B&H last month and added the PDX-100 pad as an extra floor time. It works great. I now enjoy playing the drums again like I did over twenty years ago. The fine folks at B&H made it all possible and the quality of the Roland VDrums are just what I asked for. 5

[Solid-State] We use this for guest panelists at our school. Shure makes a great mic that is durable, offers interchangeable heads and delivers great sound. You can make a bad choice with this mic. 5

Hugh	12/04/2024
[Black] After years of outdoors and on-water use, the old headset developed a short, lost its two wind guards and was due for a replacement. We bought the system @ B&H, so it only made sense to go there for the replacement - which seems like its been upgraded. Was the same price as buying directly from Shure - but w/ free shipping. Can't beat it. 5

Roger L.	04/04/2024
[Solid-State] 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

[End Address] These are great mics. I use them at board meetings and when people lean back after long meetings, I can still hear them. Also they are resistant to feedback. I bought 15 and feel they are great. I also enjoy the functionality of the switch and how it is a cough switch by default. 5
