Shure SLXD15/85 Digital Camera-Mount Wireless Cardioid Lavalier Mic System (G58: 470 to 514 MHz)
The Shure SLXD15/85 offers videographers, journalists, documentary makers, and content producers a reliable wireless lavalier microphone system that delivers crystal-clear digital sound quality while also being quick and easy to set up, even if you're using multiple mics on set. Built around a rugged, single-channel receiver that can be camera-mounted or used in an audio bag, the system offers a comprehensive feature set that ensures professional-sounding, broadcast-ready results for demanding filmmakers and creators. This configuration includes a bodypack transmitter and a WL185 cardioid lavalier microphone.
Transparent Digital Sound, Dependable Performance, and Multi-Mic Mode
- The SLX-D delivers 24-bit digital audio with a fast transient response, a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, and a 118 dB dynamic range, resulting in clear, accurate sound.
- Operating far away from potential Wi-Fi interference in the 2.4 GHz band, this configuration of the system transmits in the G58: 470 to 514 MHz UHF band, with a 44 MHz tuning range and 1760 frequencies it can autoscan to ensure a clean wireless signal.
- Digital Predictive Switching Diversity uses a microprocessor to switch between the two antennas before dropouts occur.
- A low latency of 3.2 ms helps ensure your sound and picture are easy to properly sync.
- The SLX-D's spectrum-efficient digital transmission technology allows for up to 32 mics to be used at once.
- Great for shoots with several cameras and microphones, Multi-Mic Mode lets you scan and create a list of clean frequencies, which you can send to multiple receivers via IR.
- Each receiver will sync to the appropriate transmitter at the touch of a button; settings on the transmitters, including the input gain and high-pass filter, are also recalled.
- Multi-Mic Mode makes channel allocation easier and more efficient since the receivers aren’t all auto-scanning and competing for open frequencies.
Bodypack Transmitter with WL185 Cardioid Lavalier Mic
- This configuration comes with a WL185 lavalier microphone optimized for speech intelligibility and equipped with a cardioid polar pattern that helps to reject unwanted noise.
- The lavalier mic plugs securely into the locking TA4M connector on the compact and discreet SLXD1 bodypack transmitter.
- The rugged, plastic transmitter has a belt clip that attaches to the talent’s clothing and an LCD that shows essential information.
- The mic offset function provides up to +21 dB of gain to boost low-volume speech and ensure multiple microphones are at similar levels.

Kopul CMCS-1 Passive 3.5mm Microphone Combiner/Splitter
Offering superior sound quality compared to conventional adapter cables, the Kopul CMCS-1 lets you easily capture sound from two 3.5mm microphones into your DSLR camera or camcorder in discreet mono or combined stereo while bypassing the hassle of a dangling adapter cable.
This simple and lightweight solution utilizes a shoe mount for effortless attachment to your shooting rig, and it features dual mono inputs for external microphones and a 3.5mm stereo output, making connectivity uncomplicated. The onboard switch allows the CMCS-1 to transmit a mixed stereo signal or two individual mono signals to any DSLR camera or camcorder with a 3.5mm input.
The compact and featherlight CMCS-1 is ideal for recording dialogue, narration over ambient sound, or stereo soundscapes and is so straightforward to operate, it will improve your audio without any interruptions for your workflow. Since the CMCS-1 is passive, it requires no batteries or special source of power.
Combines Two Mic Signals
Kopul's CMCS-1 allows you to add two external microphones to your camera rig. Use two lavalier mics when you're recording dialogue or a lavalier and a camera-mountable microphone for recording a narrator with some ambient sound.
Wide Frequency Response
There's nothing like rich audio to enhance a video production. The wide 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response means the CMCS-1 can transmit detailed and accurate sound to your camera.
Simple to Use
The CMCS-1 couldn't be simpler to use. Its passive design means no power source is necessary. All you do is plug in your 3.5mm microphones, connect the included 3.5mm cable to your camera's audio input, and you're ready to record.
Sums Two Signals to Mono
When you select mono mode, the CMCS-1 combines both mic inputs to a mono signal and outputs this mono mix identically to two channels. Since the two mic signals are married together, you can tweak the level, EQ, or compression of the combined signals in postproduction.
Splits Two Signals
When you select stereo mode, the CMCS-1 splits the two signals and outputs them to separate
channels. This is ideal if you want the flexibility to alter the volume, EQ, compression, and panning on each individual track in postproduction. It's also a great option if you want to record a stereo soundscape.
Camera Mountable
The CMCS-1 attaches directly to your camera's hot/cold shoe. Weighing less than two ounces, the CMCS-1 is featherlight. You might not even know it's there.
Mounting Socket
The CMCS-1 is outfitted with a 1/4"-20 mounting socket so you can conveniently mount it on a tripod or onto your camera rig.
Includes Audio Cable
The CMCS-1 comes with a coiled 3.5mm TRS cable, which extends from eight to 30 inches. It features gold connector plating and OFC (oxygen-free copper) shielding to maintain the purity of your signal.
