Shure MX412/C Microflex 12" Gooseneck Microphone Cardioid

Product Overview

The Shure MX412/C is a 12-inch cardioid gooseneck microphone with a built-in preamplifier, built for conference rooms, lecterns, and houses of worship that need clear, intelligible speech in a permanent install. Part of Shure's Microflex standard gooseneck line, this commercial AV gooseneck microphone uses a cardioid condenser cartridge to focus on the talker and a balanced output for direct connection to mixers and DSP. It ships ready to install with a shock mount and snap-fit windscreen.

Product Description

Designed for AV integrators and system designers, the MX412/C mounts to tables, lecterns, and podiums and connects through its balanced XLR output to an automatic mixer, DSP, or audio network interface. The cardioid polar pattern focuses pickup on the talker and rejects off-axis room noise, while CommShield RF filtering keeps the signal clean in rooms full of smartphones and wireless gear. The integrated shock mount provides over 20 dB of isolation from surface vibration, and the snap-fit foam windscreen reduces breath noise and plosives. The interchangeable cartridge can be swapped to supercardioid or omnidirectional patterns to match room acoustics.

Key Features
