Shure MX412/S Microflex 12" Gooseneck Microphone Supercardioid with Mute Switch

Product Overview

The Shure MX412/S is a 12-inch supercardioid gooseneck microphone with a built-in preamplifier, built for conference rooms, lecterns, and houses of worship that need tight directional control and strong feedback rejection. Part of Shure's Microflex standard gooseneck line, this commercial AV gooseneck microphone uses a supercardioid condenser cartridge to isolate the talker in acoustically busy rooms. It ships ready to install with a shock mount and snap-fit windscreen.

Product Description

Designed for AV integrators and system designers, the MX412/S mounts to tables, lecterns, and podiums and connects through its balanced XLR output to an automatic mixer, DSP, or audio network interface. The supercardioid polar pattern delivers tighter pickup and stronger feedback rejection than a cardioid, making it a good fit for rooms with nearby loudspeakers or higher background noise. CommShield RF filtering keeps the signal clean near 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 cardioid or omnidirectional patterns to match room acoustics.

Key Features

• Built-In Preamplifier — The integrated preamp lets the microphone connect directly to a balanced XLR input, simplifying installation in fixed conference systems.
• Supercardioid Condenser Cartridge — The supercardioid capsule delivers tighter pickup and stronger off-axis rejection for clear speech in noisier rooms.
• 12-Inch Gooseneck — The flexible 30.5 cm gooseneck allows precise aiming at the talker on tables, lecterns, and podiums.
• Integrated Shock Mount — The shock mount provides over 20 dB of isolation from surface vibration noise for cleaner audio.
• Snap-Fit Foam Windscreen — The included windscreen reduces breath noise and plosives without dulling speech.
• Interchangeable Cartridge System — The cartridge swaps to cardioid or omnidirectional patterns so one microphone adapts to different rooms.
• CommShield RF Filtering — Built-in RF rejection suppresses interference from nearby smartphones and wireless devices during meetings.
• Balanced Transformerless Output — The active-balanced output maintains signal integrity over long cable runs typical of commercial AV installs.
