help Shure MX184 FAQ

What is the polar pattern of the Shure MX184?

The Shure MX184 features a cardioid polar pattern, meaning it picks up sound from the front while actively rejecting noise from the sides and rear. This directional design makes it ideal for capturing a single speaker's voice clearly in noisy or live environments.

What type of connector does the Shure MX184 lavalier use?

This lavalier microphone terminates in a 4-pin mini connector (TA4F) designed to plug directly into Shure wireless bodypack transmitters. You will need an inline power module or a specific adapter if you want to plug it into a standard XLR mixer input.

Can the Shure MX184 be used for theater and broadcast applications?

Yes, the MX184 is specifically engineered for professional broadcast and theater applications where low visibility and pristine audio are required. Its zinc die-cast construction ensures it can withstand the physical demands of rigorous daily stage or studio use.

Does the Shure MX184 require phantom power to operate?

The MX184 is designed to draw its required bias voltage directly from the Shure wireless transmitter it is plugged into. It does not utilize standard 48V phantom power unless you are using a specialized Shure adapter to connect it to a mixing console.
