Shure MX405WRLP/C-VBDL 5" Shock-Mounted Gooseneck Mic with Cardioid Capsule, No Preamp, and Red LED Ring on Top (White)

Product Overview

The Shure MX405WRLP/C-VBDL is a 5-inch white cardioid gooseneck microphone with a red LED light ring on top, built for boardrooms and conference rooms where discreet aesthetics and clear status indication both matter. Part of Shure's modular Microflex line, this commercial AV gooseneck microphone uses a cardioid condenser cartridge to focus on the talker. The VBDL configuration ships as a value kit (MX405WRLP/N microphone, R185W cardioid cartridge, and shock-mount hardware) ready for permanent surface-mount installation.

Product Description

Built for AV integrators and system designers, the MX405WRLP/C-VBDL is a low-profile conference room microphone with a top-mounted red light ring that gives presenters an at-a-glance active indication. As a no-preamp model, it pairs with a separate Microflex preamp or base — the MX400SMP surface-mount preamp, MX400DP desktop base, or wireless bases such as the MXW8 and ULXD8 — for flexible wired or wireless commercial deployments. The cardioid polar pattern rejects off-axis room noise, while CommShield RF filtering keeps the signal clean near smartphones and wireless gear. The interchangeable R185 cartridge can be swapped to supercardioid or omnidirectional patterns to match room acoustics.

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.
• Red LED Light Ring on Top — A top-mounted red ring provides clear active-status indication that is visible to presenters and participants.
• 5-Inch Low-Profile Gooseneck — The compact 127 mm gooseneck preserves clean sightlines in boardrooms and aesthetically sensitive spaces.
• Interchangeable Cartridge System — The cartridge swaps to supercardioid or omnidirectional patterns so one microphone adapts to different rooms.
• CommShield RF Filtering — Built-in RF rejection suppresses interference from nearby mobile 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 output maintains signal integrity over long cable runs typical of commercial AV installs.
• White Finish — The white housing blends into light-colored furniture and architectural surfaces for a discreet look.
