Shure MX405WLP/C-VBDL 5" Shock-Mounted Gooseneck Mic with Cardioid Capsule, No Preamp, and 2-Color LED Ring on Bottom (White)

Product Overview

The Shure MX405WLP/C-VBDL is a 5-inch white cardioid gooseneck microphone built for boardrooms and conference rooms where a low-profile, low-visibility install matters. As part of Shure's modular Microflex line, this commercial AV gooseneck microphone pairs a cardioid condenser cartridge with a 2-color LED status ring on the bottom for clear talk/mute indication. The VBDL configuration ships as a value kit (MX405WLP/N microphone, R185W cardioid cartridge, and shock-mount hardware) ready for permanent surface-mount installation.

Product Description

Designed for AV integrators and system designers, the MX405WLP/C-VBDL is a low-profile conference room microphone that mounts discreetly into tables, lecterns, and credenzas. Because it is a no-preamp model, it connects to a separate Microflex preamp or base — the MX400SMP surface-mount preamp, MX400DP desktop base, or Shure wireless bases such as the MXW8 and ULXD8 — giving you flexibility across wired and wireless commercial deployments. The cardioid polar pattern focuses pickup on the talker and rejects off-axis room noise, while CommShield RF filtering keeps signal clean near mobile phones and wireless devices. The included R185 interchangeable cartridge can be swapped for supercardioid or omnidirectional patterns as room acoustics demand.

Key Features

• Cardioid Condenser Cartridge — The furnished R185 cardioid capsule focuses pickup on the talker and rejects off-axis noise for clear speech in conference rooms.
• 5-Inch Low-Profile Gooseneck — The compact 127 mm gooseneck keeps sightlines clean in boardrooms and other spaces where aesthetics matter.
• 2-Color LED Status Ring — A bottom-mounted bi-color LED ring gives presenters and operators clear talk and mute indication.
• Interchangeable Cartridge System — The cartridge swaps to supercardioid or omnidirectional patterns, so one microphone adapts to different room acoustics.
• CommShield RF Filtering — Built-in RF rejection suppresses interference from nearby smartphones and wireless devices during meetings.
• Modular Preamp and Base Options — This no-preamp model works with the MX400SMP surface-mount preamp, MX400DP desktop base, and Shure wireless bases for wired or wireless integration.
• Balanced Transformerless Output — The active-balanced XLR output maintains signal integrity over long cable runs common in commercial AV installs.
• White Finish — The white housing blends into light-colored furniture and architectural surfaces for a discreet installation.
