GENERAL
Shure Model WL93 and SM93 Microphones are omnidirec-
tional, subminiature, lavalier electret condenser micro-
phones. Their visually unobtrusive design and tailored fre-
quency response make them ideal for body-worn
applications in TV broadcasting, theater, and sound rein-
forcement. Both the Model WL93 and the SM93 feature a
small microphone element that provides full, clear sound
comparable to that of much larger microphones.
The WL93, intended for wireless use, connects directly to a
Shure wireless body-pack transmitter. The SM93, intended for
wired applications, includes a preamplifier assembly for con-
nection to three-pin professional (XLR) audio connectors.
The SM93 requires phantom power, and operates over a
range of 11 to 52 Vdc, covering both DIN and IEC phantom
power standards.

CONNECTIONS
Connect the male, four-pin miniature connector (TA4M) at
the end of the 93 microphone cable to the supplied preamplifi-
er (SM93) or to a Shure wireless body–pack (WL93).
NOTE: Do not connect the 93 microphone directly to a
mixer without using the supplied preamplifier or body-pack.
MOUNTING THE MICROPHONE
The tie clips and mounting bracket provided with the WL93
and SM93 allow the user to wear the microphone in a variety
of ways. To achieve optimum pickup, attach the microphone
to the user’s chest. You can also obtain high–quality sound
when the microphone is worn in the hair, sewn into clothing, or
attached to an acoustic instrument such as a guitar.
• Tie Clip. A spring-loaded clasp attaches easily to a neck-
tie, lapel, blouse, or shirt. Snap the microphone into the
clip’s mounting bracket and attach the clip to an article of
clothing. The dual tie clip supplied with the SM93 provides
simultaneous mounting of two microphones.
• Sew-On Bracket. Sew the supplied sew-on mounting
bracket directly to a garment (Figure1). Use dark or light
thread as necessary to match the color of the the bracket.
