The black Shure R184 is a supercardioid microphone cartridge for Microflex-series lavalier, boundary, gooseneck, and overhead microphones equipped with an interchangeable cartridge. The modular design of the Microflex series means you can simply unscrew the mic element and swap it out for another one, giving you a wide choice of pick-up pattern options.
The R184 cartridge features a supercardioid polar pattern that focuses audio capture on the talent in a tight 115° pick-up angle in front of the mic capsule. This pattern picks up substantially less background sound, helping to keep feedback problems under control when using monitors and sound-reinforcement gear and ensures clear, intelligible speech.
