Using the Shure WL18xM lavalier microphone is a breeze. First, pick the right model according to your needs. If you want focused sound, go for the WL185m with a cardioid pattern. For great noise rejection, choose the WL184m with a supercardioid pattern. And if you need 360 - degree sound capture, the WL183m with an omnidirectional pattern is your best bet. Next, attach the microphone to your clothing using the 90 - degree rotating tie clip. You can adjust it to the best position for clear audio. Then, connect the microphone to your wireless bodypack transmitter using the TA4F or LEMO connector that matches your device. Before using, make sure to set the 5 VDC bias voltage at the microphone connector pin 2 relative to pin 1 as recommended. When using the microphone, try to keep it away from strong wind sources. If there's wind, put on the snap - fit foam windscreen to reduce wind noise. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the microphone gently with a clean, dry cloth. Store it in the zippered storage bag provided to protect it from dust and damage. Avoid exposing the microphone to extreme temperatures or high humidity. With proper use and care, your Shure WL18xM microphone will serve you well for a long time.
