Shure MX410WLP/C-VBDL Microflex 10-Inch Low-Profile Gooseneck Microphone (White, Cardioid with Bi-Color LED Ring)

Product Overview

The Shure MX410WLP/C-VBDL is a 10-inch low-profile gooseneck microphone in white finish, featuring a cardioid condenser capsule, a variable bi-color dynamic LED ring at the base for mute status indication, and CommShield RF interference immunity. Designed for permanent installation at conference tables, lecterns, and courtroom benches where white finish coordinates with the surrounding cabinetry and AV furniture, the MX410WLP/C-VBDL ships without a preamplifier and requires the Shure MX400SMP surface mount preamp (sold separately) for operation. The modular capsule design accepts standard Shure R-series cartridge replacements, allowing AV technicians to service the microphone without replacing the full gooseneck assembly.

Product Description

Commercial AV installations in courtrooms, government hearing rooms, house of worship chancel areas, and corporate boardrooms increasingly specify white finish microphones to coordinate with architectural millwork, cabinetry, and ceiling systems. The MX410WLP/C-VBDL addresses this requirement with a slim low-profile gooseneck that minimizes visual impact while maintaining professional-grade cardioid pickup optimized for speech intelligibility. The VBDL suffix indicates a variable bi-color dynamic LED ring located at the base of the gooseneck: this LED connects to logic control systems to display microphone active or muted status to participants, integrating with room control systems from Crestron, Extron, AMX, and similar platforms without a separate indicator device. CommShield technology provides reliable performance in environments where smartphones and wireless devices are present at the installation surface. The 10-inch gooseneck length is appropriate for podium-height applications, conference tables, and installed lectern microphone positions.

Key Features

• 10-Inch Low-Profile Gooseneck — Appropriate height for conference table installations, podiums, and lecterns; the slim low-profile design minimizes visual presence in formal commercial AV environments.
• Variable Bi-Color Dynamic LED Ring (VBDL) — LED ring at the gooseneck base displays microphone mute status via logic control, integrating with room control systems without a separate indicator panel or button device.
• Cardioid Polar Pattern — Focused pickup for speech intelligibility with rear rejection to minimize pickup of room noise, adjacent speakers, and HVAC, suitable for sound reinforcement and conferencing applications.
• White Finish — Coordinates with white-finish AV furniture, cabinetry, lecterns, and architectural millwork specified in courtrooms, government hearing rooms, and corporate boardrooms.
• Modular Capsule Design — Compatible with Shure R-series replacement cartridges (R183, R184, R185, R189), allowing capsule replacement in the field without replacing the full gooseneck assembly.
• CommShield RF Interference Immunity — Guards against RF interference from smartphones and wireless devices that are routinely placed on conference tables and lecterns during meetings and hearings.
• Less Preamp (Requires MX400SMP) — Ships without a preamplifier; requires the Shure MX400SMP surface mount preamp for operation, sold separately, allowing integrators to plan preamp placement as part of the surface installation.
• Touch Mute Compatible — The A400MB Mute Button accessory (sold separately) adds touch-sensitive muting capability to the MX410 without modifying the primary audio signal path.
