The Shure MX418/S is a professional gooseneck condenser microphone from the Microflex series, designed for clear, focused speech capture in conference rooms, boardrooms, houses of worship, and presentation spaces. It features a supercardioid polar pattern that provides excellent off-axis rejection, helping to isolate the speaker’s voice and reduce background noise or feedback.
The flexible 18-inch gooseneck allows precise positioning for optimal sound pickup. The included shock mount minimizes handling and surface noise. The microphone is equipped with a 3-pin XLR connector and is phantom-powered (11-52 V DC), making it compatible with most mixers and audio interfaces. Its durable construction ensures reliable performance in demanding installed environments.
