Shure MX415DUAL/C Microflex Dualflex Gooseneck Microphone Cardioid

Product Overview

The Shure MX415DUAL/C is a dual-capsule gooseneck microphone built for critical broadcast and multi-feed live sound applications where audio cannot fail. It houses two cardioid electret condenser cartridges in a single low-profile body, each feeding a separate preamp-equipped output for redundant audio capture. This 15-inch dual cardioid gooseneck microphone is a professional choice for broadcast studios, auditoriums, and high-stakes commercial AV installations.

Product Description

The MX415DUAL/C captures every word twice. Its unique dual cartridge design places two cardioid capsules in one low-profile housing, with each capsule routed to its own output preamp to provide two independent, redundant feeds. That redundancy is the core benefit: when a presentation, broadcast, or government proceeding cannot tolerate a dropped signal, a second feed is always available for backup or for routing to a separate destination. The 15-inch gooseneck uses a single-flex top section for optimal placement on a table, lectern, or podium. The balanced output preserves signal quality over long cable runs, and Shure Commshield RF filtering rejects interference from mobile devices. A complete set of mounting accessories supports lectern, table, and podium placement. For standard single-feed installations, compare the Shure MX415/C cardioid gooseneck, or the 12-inch Shure MX412S/C cardioid gooseneck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the MX415DUAL/C have two cartridges?
The dual cardioid capsules feed two separate preamp outputs, providing redundant audio so a critical broadcast or live event always has a backup feed if one path fails.

How are the two outputs used in an AV system?
Integrators route the two feeds to separate inputs — for example a primary mixer and a backup recorder, or two independent destinations — for fault tolerance and multi-feed flexibility.

Where does it mount?
The microphone mounts on a table, lectern, or podium, and ships with a complete set of accessories to support each placement.

Can it connect to a Dante network?
Yes. The analog outputs connect to standard mic inputs, including Shure audio network interfaces such as the ANI4IN that bring analog Microflex mics onto a Dante network.

What warranty and support apply?
Shure microphones carry the manufacturer's warranty, and Creation Networks provides expert AV support for selection and integration.
