Shure MX412S/C Microflex 12" Gooseneck Microphone Cardioid with Mute Switch

Product Overview

The Shure MX412S/C cardioid gooseneck microphone is built for clear speech reinforcement in conference rooms, boardrooms, and lecterns. This 12-inch cardioid gooseneck microphone pairs a focused condenser cartridge with a silent mute switch and LED status indicator, making it a practical choice for commercial AV installations where the talker must come through cleanly. As a Microflex gooseneck installation microphone, it integrates with most analog mixers and DSP platforms used in commercial meeting spaces.

Product Description

The MX412S/C combines a 12-inch dual-flex gooseneck with an interchangeable cardioid condenser cartridge tuned specifically for the human voice. Its balanced, transformerless output preserves signal quality over long cable runs between the podium and the rack, while the integrated shock mount absorbs surface vibration before it reaches the signal. The flange mount permanently secures the microphone to a podium, lectern, or table, and the snap-fit foam windscreen reduces breath and plosive noise. A silent membrane mute switch with an LED indicator lets presenters control their own audio without an audible click, a useful feature in houses of worship, courtrooms, and training rooms. Shure Commshield RF filtering rejects interference from nearby mobile devices, keeping the focus on the program audio. For supercardioid pickup in higher-ambient-noise rooms, compare the Shure MX412S/S supercardioid gooseneck, or step up to the 15-inch Shure MX415/C modular gooseneck for taller lecterns.

Key Features

• Cardioid Condenser Cartridge — The interchangeable cardioid cartridge delivers focused on-axis pickup with good off-axis rejection, helping isolate a single talker in a busy conference room.
• Silent Mute Switch with LED — A noiseless membrane switch lets presenters mute and unmute without an audible click, while the LED gives a clear visual cue of microphone status.
• 12-Inch Dual-Flex Gooseneck — The 30.5 cm gooseneck flexes at both ends for precise positioning at lecterns, podiums, and conference tables.
• Balanced Transformerless Output — The transformerless design maintains audio integrity and noise immunity across long cable runs in distributed AV systems.
• Integrated Shock Mount — The shock mount provides over 20 dB of isolation from surface-borne vibration noise.
• Shure Commshield RF Filtering — Built-in RF rejection guards against interference from smartphones and other wireless devices in the room.
• Permanent Flange Mount — A locking flange secures the microphone to furniture for fixed commercial installations.
