OmniDirectional Polar Pattern: Equally sensitive to sound from all directions, but cannot be "aimed" to isolate one area.
Tailored Frequency Response: Smooth, extended response. Tuned to accentuate specific types of instruments, or voices.

SM93Lavalier Microphone

Shure

Condenser: Lightweight, sensitive diaphragm. Precisely and smoothly captures sound nuances. Powered by battery or phantom power supply.

Recommended Uses: Video/Broadcast

The SM93 is an economical omnidirectional miniature lavalier condenser microphone designed for use in speech applications. Despite its small size, the microphone element provides full, clear sound comparable to that of much larger microphones. Its frequency response is tailored to body-worn applications, with low-end rolloff and presence rise.

The SM93 is powered by phantom power supplied by broadcast, sound reinforcement or recording equipment, or an external phantom supply. The SM93 operates over an extremely wide voltage range of 11 to 52 Vdc, covering both DIN and IEC phantom power standards.

For use with a Shure wireless body-pack transmitter, see the WL93.

The SM93 is supplied with a sew-on mounting bracket, a mounting block with attached tie bar, and an acoustic windscreen to minimize wind noise in outdoor applications. It is also supplied with a dual mounting block with attached tie bar.
