The bright white 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.

Q: 1. Are there any panels that can be purchased to close up the side panels that run down the depth of the pull-out rack ? Would be interested in closing up some or all of that portion that is open on the dimension that is 13 deep. Inquiry partially due to aesthetic preference

Q: 2. Will this fit the new MV88+ microphone by Shure?

Q: 5. If I want to power this monitor with D-Tap, does it come with a cable for the barrel jack or should I use a dummy battery cable?

A: The PORTKEYS LH7H 7" High-Bright Touchscreen Monitor does not included a d-tap power cable in either format (DC or Dummy battery), so if D-tap power is the desired power solution, a cable will need to be purchased separately.

Q: 6. Does it fit the Rode Lavalier Go?

A: No, I don't think the Shure Snap-Fit Windscreen for DL4 and DH5 DuraPlex Microphones is going to work with the Rode Lavalier GO because the microphones that this windscreen is designed to fit are flat and the windscreen snaps on. As a better option for the Lavalier GO, you can use the WindTech Windscreen- 3/16" - 3-Pack, White (B&H # WI2300PW).

Q: 7. Will this fit an Audio Technica 822?

A: It will not. The AT822 has a 2.44 Head Width.

Q: 8. Will this mic survive water being splashed on it?

A: Shure does not rate the MX395 Microflex Low-Profile Boundary Microphone models for water resistance. This will probably withstand one or two accidents or water spills, but I would not recommend installing it in an environment where that will happen frequently. If the microphone does get wet, it would be best to wipe it dry as soon as possible. Repeated exposure to spills or splashes will damage the microphone. For conference rooms where water spills are more likely, using a hanging mic like this suspended over the table could be less likely to suffer damage from accidents: https://bhpho.to/2xVQp7s

Q: 10. Does this windscreen show in the camera frame on an iPhone in wide angle view?

A: Since the microphone is on the opposite end of the phone, the Shure Windjammer for Shure Motiv MV88+ & MV88 Digital Stereo Microphones should not interfere with or block the camera.
