Shure WCM16

The Shure Model WCM16 headworn electret condenser microphone is intended for wireless use by performers, lecturers, and others who require the highest quality voice pickup with maximum mobility. Its wide frequency response, low RF susceptibility and reliable operation at temperature and humidity extremes make the WCM16 suitable for virtually any vo... morecal application. When used with Shure bodypack transmitters, the performance of the WCM16 closely resembles the finest conventional vocal microphones. Miniaturized active circuitry included in the cartridge assembly provides equalization that tailors the low-frequency response to resemble the warm proximity effect of larger vocal microphones. Because of this low-end response, it is not necessary to position the microphone directly in front of the mouth, thus avoiding much popping and breath noise, even without the included foam pop screen. The microphone's hypercardioid unidirectional pickup pattern provides maximum isolation from ambient noise and from adjacent sound sources such as musical instruments, loudspeakers and other performers. This permits higher gain-before-feedback without loss or masking of vocals.FeaturesExtra lightweight, adjustable headband stays secure and virtually disappearsResponse comparable to finest conventional vocal microphonesHypercardioid polar pattern provides maximum isolationUniform polar pattern at all frequencies for maximum gain before feedbackHigh input clipping level eliminates overload distortionSpecificationsType: Condenser (electret bias)Frequency Response: 50 to 18,000 HzPolar Pattern: Hypercardioid, uniform with frequencyOutput Impedance: 1200 ΩOutput Level (close-talked at 1,000 Hz): Open Circuit Voltage -55.0 dBV (1.8 mV) at 0.6 mMaximum Sound Pressure Level: 150 dB at 1% THDDynamic Range: 121 dBOutput Noise: 29 dB equivalent SPL, A-weightedSignal-to-Noise Ratio: 65 dB at 94 dB SPLCurrent Drain: 0.35 mARecommended Operating Voltage: +5 VDC (positive on pin 2, negative on pin 1)Operating Temperatures: 0 °F to 140 °F (-18 °F to 60 °C)Storage Temperatures: -20 °F to 150 °F (-29 °F to 66 °C)Humidity: 0 to 95%Cable: 5ft (1.5m), small-diameter, shielded, with 4-pin mini connectorCase Finish (Microphone and Headband): Matte black enamelNet Weight: 1.27 oz.
