Shure R185 Cardioid Replacement Cartridge — Black
R185 Overview
The Shure R185 is a cardioid replacement cartridge engineered for use with Shure Microflex-series microphones that feature interchangeable cartridge designs, including lavalier, boundary, gooseneck, and overhead models. Designed as a direct factory replacement, the R185 allows technicians and system integrators to restore or reconfigure Microflex microphones without replacing the entire mic body. The black finish matches standard Microflex black-body configurations. This cartridge is the practical choice for touring companies, houses of worship, broadcast facilities, and installed sound environments that maintain Microflex microphone inventories.
Swapping cartridges rather than replacing full microphone assemblies reduces downtime and lowers long-term maintenance costs across large microphone deployments.
