Description
Description
The RPW170 is a premium KSM8 Dualdyne cardioid dynamic wireless microphone capsule designed to replace or upgrade the microphone head on compatible Shure handheld wireless transmitters that accept screw‑on interchangeable capsules. It is engineered for professional vocal reproduction in live sound reinforcement and performance environments. The dual‑diaphragm design virtually eliminates the proximity effect, resulting in natural‑sounding vocals with minimal coloration. It also provides excellent off‑axis rejection and clarity comparable to condenser‑style microphones while retaining the rugged reliability and feedback control expected from dynamic wireless systems.
Key Features
-
Patented Dualdyne cartridge design with two ultra‑thin diaphragms (one active and one passive) and an inverted airflow system for refined audio performance.
-
Exceptional control of proximity effect, allowing greater working distance without sonic coloration.
-
Accurate and natural frequency response across mid and high ranges due to controlled diaphragm behavior.
-
Broad and flat off‑axis attenuation that rejects unwanted sound for improved vocal clarity and reduced bleed.
-
Dent‑resistant hardened carbon‑steel grille with hydrophobic woven fabric for enhanced protection against plosives, wind, and moisture.
