Shure R189 Mini-Shotgun Mic Cartridge — White
R189 Overview
The Shure R189 is a lobar mini-shotgun microphone cartridge engineered as a direct replacement or upgrade capsule for the full range of Microflex (MX) gooseneck and overhead microphones, including those used with Microflex Wireless and Microflex Complete systems. Its highly directional pickup pattern provides focused audio capture while rejecting off-axis ambient noise, making it well-suited for environments where background noise and acoustic feedback are persistent challenges. This cartridge is an ideal solution for audio engineers, AV integrators, and facilities managers specifying microphone systems for conference rooms, boardrooms, houses of worship, and live presentation environments.
The R189 threads directly onto compatible MX microphone bodies, enabling a straightforward cartridge swap without requiring new hardware or cabling infrastructure.
Key Features
- Lobar Mini-Shotgun Polar Pattern — narrow pickup pattern focuses on the intended sound source and rejects off-axis ambient noise for cleaner intelligibility in reverberant or noisy spaces
- Feedback Rejection — highly directional design reduces the risk of feedback in rooms with active sound reinforcement systems
- Universal MX Compatibility — threads onto all Microflex MX gooseneck and overhead microphones, including those used with Microflex Wireless and Microflex Complete platforms
- White Finish — matches white MX microphone installations for a consistent, unobtrusive aesthetic in ceiling and surface-mount deployments
- Drop-In Replacement — screw-on cartridge design allows field replacement or polar pattern reconfiguration without tools or system downtime
- Conference and Presentation Optimized — engineered specifically for noisy conference rooms and live presentation environments where source isolation is critical
