Shure Microphone Capsule - RPW170, Silver

The RPW170 from Shure is a dual-diaphragm dynamic microphone capsule that is compatible with all Shure handheld wireless transmitters and is designed for vocal reproduction in sound reinforcement applications such as live performances for high-end professional venues.

With one of the most innovative cardioid capsules Shure has ever developed, Dualdyne virtually eliminates proximity effect. It tames off-axis rejection while delivering the signal purity typical of unprocessed condenser microphones, along with the reliability of dynamic microphone feedback control.

Main functions:

• Patented capsule design featuring two ultra-thin diaphragms (one active and one passive) and an innovative reverse airflow system;
• Accurate frequency response due to controlled proximity effect, which allows neutral reproduction of mid and high frequencies;
• Off-axis attenuation is flat and wide, resulting in superior rejection of unwanted sound sources for increased voice clarity;
• A dent-resistant, hardened carbon steel grille design lined with hydrophobic fabric provides exceptional protection from popping sounds and wind, while offering virtually waterproof protection.
