Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this compatible with the Shure wired SM93 Preamp?

A: Yes, the SM93 preamp (part number 90A4360) is compatible with this microphone for use in wired applications. Please note, however, that for wireless use, the preamp will not be needed as it will be powered by your bodypack transmitter.

Q: 2. Where do you place this on the body for a clergy. Is lav mic better?

A: Lavalier microphones such as the Shure WL93 Subminiature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with 4' Cable and TA4F Connector are commonly mounted to the subject's chest or lapel, either under or over fabric. They can be concealed with a variety of lav concealers, such as BH #BUBBIILCM30.

Q: 3. Do they have this in a mini jack version, so I can connect it to my h1?

A: A Zoom H1 will not support the necessary power requirement for a Shure WL93. The WL93's condenser element requires 5+Vdc to operate whereas the Zoom H1's powered 3.5mm input provides only 2.5 volts of plug-in power. To ensure compatibility with your H1, you will need to select another plug-in mic that either has a condenser or MEMS style element with a lower power requirement or has a dynamic element requiring no power.

Q: 4. Does this mic require phantom power?

A: The Shure TwinPlex TL48 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone requires only 5V, but to enable connection with an XLR input, the Shure RPM400TQG Wired TwinPlex Microphone Preamp is included, which does require phantom power to activate, but it does not allow phantom power to be passed through to the mic. The RPM400TQG converts phantom power to the proper amount of voltage that the mic requires.

Q: 5. How do you connect the Shure with a sennhesier pack?

A: Not easily. The Shure microphone is a TA4F/Mini XLR. Sennhesser uses a locking 3.5 mini connector on many of their wireless bodypack transmitters. We do not sell an adapter for this purpose.

Q: 7. Has anyone tried hiding this mic in clothing so you can't see it? Is it a good option for doing interviews in loud locations?

A: The Shure UL4 UniPlex Cardioid Subminiature Lavalier Microphone can be used under clothing with a rubber mount like the LMC Sound CMTBK C Mount Universal Lavalier Mount (B&H # LMCMTBK) or the LMC Sound CMTVPRBK C Mount Vampire Clip Universal Lavalier Mount (B&H # LMCMTVPRBK) which has a dual-pin back. The mic can also be mounted and isolated with soft foam pads like the Viviana Pads Soft Foam Mounts for Lavalier Microphones - 12-Pack, Black (B&H # VIVPB12P), which can also be used to secure the rubber mount to clothing or skin. To prevent additional noise from cable friction, you can use the Bubblebee Industries Rubber Lavalier Cable Savers - 4-Pack (B&H # BUBBILCS4BL). The mic's cardioid pickup pattern will help to reduce background noise.

Q: 8. Will this work with Zoom H1n Digi portable recorder?

A: While we have not tested the Polsen Cardioid Lavalier Microphone with 3.5mm Locking Connector for Sennheiser and Polsen UWM Transmitters for compatibility with the Zoom H1n2-Input / 2-Track Portable Handy Recorder, in theory these two items should work together.

Q: 9. Will this 6 foot mic work with the the SM93 XLR preamp?

A: Yes, it will. If you already have the Shure 90A4360 preamp, you can use any WL93 with in a wired application. If you do not yet have the preamp, you have two options based on what cable length you need. If you need 6' of cable, you will have to purchase the mic and preamp separately, but if you only need 4' of cable you can simply purchase the SM93 which already includes both the mic and the preamp.
