ShureRK100PK In-line Preamplifier for MX Series Microphones
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An in-line preamp for Shure MX Series microphones. For installs where the mic signal has a long run to the mixer and needs level before it gets there.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fixed installs with long cable runs from mic to console
- MX-series mics feeding an input that lacks usable gain
- Boardroom, lectern and ceiling mic systems already built on MX
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Studio users wanting a colored, character preamp
- Anyone with short cable runs and a mixer with plenty of gain
- Multi-mic systems on a tight budget — you need one per mic
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Preamplifier
Raises a low mic signal before it travels, so the console's own gain does not have to work as hard.
Detail 03
For MX Series microphones
Built around Shure's MX mics. Treat compatibility with other capsules as something to confirm, not assume.
Detail 04
Install-oriented hardware
MX mics live in permanent installs, so this is infrastructure gear rather than a studio channel strip you patch around.
Detail 05
$126 each
Priced per unit. A ten-mic conference room means ten of these, which changes the budget conversation quickly.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One per microphone — count your channels before ordering
- 02Confirm your mixer input supplies what the preamp needs to operate
- 03It adds level, not clarity; bad mic placement stays bad
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work with a microphone that isn't a Shure MX?
It is designed for the MX Series. With anything else, check the connector and how the preamp is powered from your mixer before you buy.
02Do I need one for every microphone?
Yes. It is a single in-line device on one cable run, so a multi-mic system needs one per channel.
03Does this replace my mixer's preamp?
No. It adds gain earlier in the chain so your mixer's preamp can run lower, which helps most on long cable runs.
04Will it fix hum or noise on a long run?
It raises signal level before the run, which improves the ratio of signal to noise picked up along the way. It will not cure a grounding problem.
