What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent about pickup pattern: technical details say unidirectional, manufacturer copy calls it cardioid, and another feature description says omnidirectional. Confirm the intended pattern before buying. Its listed phantom-power instruction also conflicts with the wireless bodypack use case described on the page, so verify the power requirements for the intended setup.

Mixed feedback

Opinions on value for money differ.

Frequently asked questions

Does the SM31FH include a wireless transmitter?

The listing describes compatibility with Shure wireless bodypack systems and says the bodypack transmitter is sold separately. Treat this as a headset microphone, not a complete wireless system.

What connector does this microphone use?

The listed connector is TA4F, also described in the manufacturer copy as TQG, for compatible Shure bodypack systems.

Is the microphone omnidirectional or cardioid?

The listing conflicts: it gives unidirectional in the technical details, calls it cardioid in manufacturer copy, and also describes omnidirectional pickup. Confirm the pattern for the specific item before relying on it.

What is included?

The contents list names two windscreens and a replacement clip. The microphone itself is the main product.
