Know before you buy
The TQG connector is Shure’s proprietary 4-pin mini connector. It is designed specifically for use with Shure wireless bodypack transmitters, ensuring a secure, locking connection for reliable audio transmission.
An omnidirectional pattern captures sound equally from all directions. This is ideal for presenters because it provides a natural, full sound and is less prone to 'popping' noises compared to directional microphones, though it will pick up more ambient room noise.
While it is optimized for clear vocal reproduction in conferencing and presentations, its high-quality condenser element performs well for stage performers who need a low-profile, reliable lavalier that captures accurate, full-range sound.
Yes, the rotating clip allows you to adjust the microphone's orientation regardless of how the cable is routed or where the clip is attached to clothing. This flexibility makes it much easier to position the mic precisely toward the speaker's mouth for optimal clarity.
As an electret condenser microphone, it requires a small amount of bias voltage to operate. This power is supplied directly by your Shure wireless bodypack transmitter, so no additional batteries or external power supplies are needed.
