The Shure WH20 is a robust, lightweight and dynamic headset that delivers high-quality sound pickup. It is ideal for active microphone users, such as aerobics instructors and musicians, with low visibility for stage appearances.
The cardioid (unidirectional) polar pattern allows for better gain before feedback and better isolation from ambient noise and other unwanted sound sources. A carefully shaped frequency response includes a voice frequency presence peak and low-frequency roll-off to compensate for the proximity effect inherent in cardioid mics in close-talk mode.
Wear the headset
Place the helmet frame around the head so that the frame and elastic band are horizontal to the back of the head and the ends of the frame sit above and in front of the ears. Position the elastic headband above or below the frame for maximum comfort and stability. The white SHURE should face outwards.
