Frequently Asked Questions

The WL185M offers a slightly improved frequency response and a more refined sound, but both are excellent choices for general lavalier use.
TGQ is a Shure proprietary connector, so you'll need a compatible wireless system or adapter; check your system's specifications.
The clip is generally reliable, but very thin or slippery fabrics may require extra care to ensure it stays firmly in place.
