Sontronics Solo W1 Dynamic Supercardioid Capsule for Shure Wireless Systems

Sontronics extends the sonic signature of its acclaimed SOLO handheld microphone into wireless territory with this supercardioid dynamic capsule, engineered to drop straight into Shure® handheld transmitters. The W1 brings the same clarity and presence that made the wired SOLO a stage favourite, now freed from cable constraints for vocalists, presenters and spoken-word performers who demand consistent tone across touring, corporate events and live production environments. Its tightly focused polar pattern actively rejects monitor wedges, backline spill and ambient stage noise, keeping vocals upfront and intelligible even when the stage gets crowded.

At the core sits a neodymium-magnet dynamic element tuned across 50Hz–15kHz, delivering 5.5mV/Pa sensitivity and handling peaks up to 140dB SPL before hitting 1% THD. The supercardioid response carves out a narrow pickup zone that isolates the vocalist while maintaining a natural, balanced frequency response that sits comfortably in a mix without heavy EQ intervention. Housed in a hard black anodised body with black steel grille, the capsule weighs 170g and measures 93mm × 50mm, built to endure the knocks of regular stage work. Compatibility spans the full Shure wireless range—QLX-D, ULX-D, SLX-D, PGX-D, ULX, SLX, UHF-R, Axient AD2/ADX2/ADX2FD, Microflex MXW2/MXW2X, GLXD2+ and BLX2—plus Audio Technica 3000 Series, Lectrosonics HH/HHa, Line 6 V75/V55 and Sound Devices Astral systems.

Recognised as a NAMM TEC Awards Finalist 2027, the W1 slots into existing wireless infrastructure without adapters or workarounds, making it a practical upgrade path for hire companies, venues and touring rigs already invested in Shure transmitter systems. The capsule arrives ready to mount, requiring only a thread-on swap to transform wireless mic performance across worship spaces, theatres, festivals and live broadcast setups where vocal intelligibility directly impacts production value.
