help Shure SM11 FAQ
Is the Shure SM11 unidirectional or omnidirectional?
The SM11 is omnidirectional, not unidirectional, and Shure classifies it as a miniature dynamic lavalier. Its published frequency response is 50 to 15,000 Hz. [Shure specifications](https://www.shure.com/en-GB/products/microphones/sm11)
Can I plug the SM11 into a normal camera or mixer?
It uses a professional three-pin XLR connector, so it needs a compatible microphone input or a suitable camera adapter rather than a 3.5 mm lavalier input. Its non-detachable cable is about 1.2 m, or 48 inches, long. [Shure user guide](https://pubs.shure.com/view/guide/SM11/en-US.pdf)
What mounting hardware comes with the Shure SM11?
The package includes a tie clasp, tie tack, connector belt clip, and zippered carrying bag. The two tie-mount options are designed to keep the small microphone unobtrusive on clothing. [Shure specifications](https://www.shure.com/en-GB/products/microphones/sm11)
Was the SM11 made for broadcast, or can it be used on instruments?
Shure designed it for television broadcasting, sound reinforcement, radio, and motion-picture work. The optional RK279 kit allows the SM11 to be mounted on musical instruments. [Shure specifications](https://www.shure.com/en-GB/products/microphones/sm11)
