The Shure CVL (often labeled CVL-B/C‑TQG) is a lavalier (clip-on) condenser microphone designed primarily for speech, presentations, and broadcast-style use.
It’s part of Shure’s Centraverse line, which emphasizes practical deployment in spoken-word and installed audio systems.
The CVL is not a standalone mic in the sense of having its own power; it is intended to be used with a wireless bodypack transmitter (or another device supplying the necessary bias) via a TA4F / TQG connector.
