Shure CVG12-B/C Centraverse Cardioid Gooseneck Microphone for Installations (12")

Product Overview

The Shure CVG12-B/C is a 12-inch dual-section gooseneck electret condenser microphone designed for installed sound reinforcement applications in corporate facilities, houses of worship, government institutions, and conference rooms. The cardioid polar pattern targets speech pickup with tailored frequency response, while CommShield technology guards against RF interference from nearby wireless devices—an essential feature in environments where smartphones and wireless systems are in regular use. The CVG12-B/C includes an inline preamplifier and mounting flange, and accepts standard phantom power from 11 to 52 V DC, making it compatible with virtually any professional mixing or conferencing system.

Product Description

Installed sound applications demand a gooseneck microphone that stays positioned where you put it, rejects ambient noise, and handles the RF interference common in meeting and presentation environments. The CVG12-B/C addresses all three requirements: its dual-section 12-inch gooseneck provides full articulation for precise aim at the talker, the cardioid polar pattern minimizes pickup of room noise and neighboring speakers, and Shure CommShield technology provides high immunity to RF interference from portable wireless devices without additional filtering hardware. The built-in inline preamplifier eliminates the need for a separate preamp module, simplifying installation in podiums, conference tables, and lecterns. The black finish and compact profile minimize visual impact in presentation and government environments where aesthetics matter. The included mounting flange enables clean, permanent installation in podium tops, table surfaces, and lecterns.

Key Features

• Dual-Section 12-Inch Gooseneck — Two articulated gooseneck sections allow precise positioning of the microphone capsule for reliable speech pickup at podiums, conference tables, and lecterns without repositioning the base.
• Cardioid Polar Pattern — Tailored for speech intelligibility, the cardioid pattern rejects sound from the sides and rear, reducing room reverberation and minimizing feedback risk in commercial sound reinforcement systems.
• CommShield RF Interference Immunity — Guards against unwanted interference from smartphones and other nearby wireless devices, maintaining clean audio in meeting rooms, boardrooms, and government chambers where wireless traffic is high.
• Built-In Inline Preamplifier — Integrated preamp eliminates the need for a separate external preamp module, reducing cable runs and simplifying installation in podiums and built-in AV systems.
• Phantom Power Operation — Accepts 11 to 52 V DC phantom power, compatible with professional mixing consoles, DSP systems, and digital conferencing processors commonly used in commercial AV installations.
• Mounting Flange Included — Included RPM640 mounting flange enables clean, permanent installation in podium tops, conference table cutouts, and other flush-mount surfaces.
• 120 dB Maximum SPL — Handles loud speech without distortion, suitable for high-gain PA environments and applications where the microphone may be used at close range by multiple talkers.
• Black Finish — Low-profile matte black finish minimizes visual impact in formal presentation, government, and corporate meeting environments.
