Description

OVERVIEW

Headworn vocal microphone offers a wide frequency response, low RF susceptibility, and reliability at temperature and humidity extremes. It features hypercardioid pickup for sound isolation and high input clipping level to eliminate distortion.

 

DETAILS

  • Extra lightweight, adjustable headband stays secure and virtually disappears while being worn
  • Response comparable to finest conventional vocal microphones
  • Hypercardioid polar pattern provides maximum isolation from vocalist’s own instrument and those of other performers
  • Uniform polar pattern at all frequencies for maximum gain before feedback
  • High input clipping level eliminates overload distortion
  • Cable terminates as 4-pin mini connector
  • Supplied acoustic foam pop screen
  • Reliable at temperature and humidity extremes

 

What is the WCM16 best suited to?

The Shure Model WCM16 headworn hypercardioid condenser microphone is ideally suited to professional 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 vocal application.

 

What is the best position for the mic?

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 popping and breath noise, even without the supplied foam pop screen.

 

Why Hypercardioid?

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.
