General Description

The MX150 is a professional subminiature electret condenser lavalier microphone ideal for

use in speech and other applications requiring low-profile, discreet placement. Available

with cardioid or omnidirectional patterns, the MX150 provides uncompromised sound qual-

ity and high reliability with minimal visibility for use in television broadcasting, corporate

lectures, A/V teleconferencing, House of Worship, and sound reinforcement. CommShield

Technology offers superior RF immunity from cellular devices and digital bodypack trans-

mitters. Each microphone is supplied with a snap-fit foam windscreen to minimize wind

noise and a multi-position tie clip with integrated cable management to minimize cable

handling noise.

Using with Other Bodypack Transmitters

When connecting the microphone to anything other than a Shure wireless bodypack,

Refer to the wiring diagram in the specifications.

XLR Models

Phantom Power

The supplied RK100PK preamplifier requires phantom power and performs best with a 48

V DC supply (IEC-61938). However, it will operate with slightly decreased headroom with

supplies as low as 11 V DC.
Most modern mixers provide phantom power. You must use a balanced microphone cable:

XLR-to-XLR or XLR-to-TRS.

RFI Filtering

This microphone features CommShield

Technology for RF filtering. For best results in

hostile RF environments, always use the RK100PK preamp furnished with the XLR ver-

sions of this microphone.

Mounting the Microphone

This microphone is furnished with a multi-position tie clip for flex-

ible mounting options and reduced cable noise. Reference the

furnished tie clip guide for placement and routing suggestions.
