Shure MX418S/S Microflex 18" Gooseneck Microphone Supercardioi...
Product Overview
The Shure MX418S/S is an 18-inch supercardioid gooseneck microphone with a silent mute switch and LED indicator, built for commercial AV installations that need tight pickup plus local talker control. With an attached preamp and balanced XLR output, this gooseneck microphone suits conference room integration, lecterns, and house of worship speech reinforcement in acoustically demanding rooms. The supercardioid cartridge narrows the pickup angle to isolate the talker.
Product Description
The MX418S/S combines an 18-inch gooseneck and supercardioid Microflex cartridge with a base-mounted silent mute switch and status LED, as shown in the product image, giving presenters quiet local muting and a tight pickup pattern for higher gain-before-feedback. Its balanced, transformerless preamp output maintains a clean signal across the long cable runs common in distributed commercial AV systems, and Shure CommShield technology rejects RF interference from nearby mobile devices. The microphone ships with a complete installation kit including a shock-mount and flange-mount adapter and a snap-fit foam windscreen. Because the cartridge is interchangeable, integrators can refit a cardioid or omnidirectional capsule as room acoustics change. For a wider pattern, compare it with the Shure MX418SC cardioid, or for a no-switch supercardioid see the Shure MX418/S.
Key Features
- Supercardioid Polar Pattern — The narrow acceptance angle isolates the talker and rejects off-axis noise for higher gain-before-feedback in live speech reinforcement.
- Silent Mute Switch — The membrane switch lets talkers mute quietly without the click or thump of a mechanical button.
- Status LED Indicator — An integrated LED clearly signals active and muted states to the talker.
- Attached Preamp with XLR Output — The integral balanced, transformerless preamp feeds standard XLR inputs and mixers in commercial AV racks.
- Interchangeable Microflex Cartridge — The capsule can be swapped to cardioid or omnidirectional as room coverage requirements change.
- Complete Installation Kit — An included shock-mount and flange-mount adapter plus a snap-fit foam windscreen speed table and lectern installation.
