    ENGLISH GENERAL Shure models WL50 and MC50 are subminiature, electret condenser lavalier microphones. They provide uncompro- mised sound quality and high reliability with minimal visibility in sound reinforcement applications such as television broad- casting and stage performances. Despite its small size, the microphone’s condenser element provides full, clear and natural reproduction of speech. Each microphone is supplied with two types of equalization caps that are user changeable, allowing for easily customized sound, and two foam windscreens to minimize wind noise.
  • Page 4 EQUALIZATION CAPS The WL50 and the MC50 are each supplied with two types of equalization caps for high frequency response shaping. The caps differ in response between 5,000 and 20,000 Hz (see Figure 1 on page 12), and can be distinguished by the color of their mesh screens.
  • Page 5 USING THE WL50 WITH OTHER BODYPACK TRANSMITTERS If connecting the WL50 to anything OTHER than a Shure wireless bodypack, make sure the device provides a regulated +5 Vdc (130 mA minimum) to the red conductor. Refer to the wiring diagrams in Figures 2 and 3 on page 12.
