Product Overview
The Shure MX418SE/N is an 18-inch gooseneck microphone with a flange mount, an in-line preamp, and a 10-foot side-exit or bottom-exit cable, supplied without a cartridge so the integrator specifies the polar pattern. This gooseneck microphone suits flush-mount lecterns, conference room integration, and government meeting spaces where cable routing must stay hidden. Fit an R185 cardioid, R184 supercardioid, or R183 omnidirectional capsule to match the room.
Product Description
The MX418SE/N provides the 18-inch gooseneck, locking flange, in-line preamp, and a 10-foot cable that exits the side or bottom of the mount, as shown in the product image, while leaving the cartridge choice to the AV system designer. This supports standardizing one flush-mount microphone body across rooms with different coverage needs. The in-line preamp delivers balanced, transformerless output that 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 shock-mount hardware and a snap-fit foam windscreen. Cartridges are interchangeable, so coverage can be retuned later. For a furnished-cartridge side-exit version, compare it with the Shure MX418SE/C or the standard Shure MX418/N.
Key Features
- Side or Bottom Cable Exit — The 10-foot cable can exit the side or bottom of the mount, keeping cable routing hidden in lecterns and tables.
- Flange Mount with In-Line Preamp — The locking flange and separate in-line preamp support clean flush-mount installation in commercial furniture.
- Cartridge Not Included — The integrator specifies the cardioid, supercardioid, or omnidirectional Microflex capsule that matches each room.
- Balanced Transformerless Output — The active-balanced circuit maintains a clean signal across long cable runs in distributed commercial AV systems.
- Interchangeable Microflex Cartridge — A common body across the Microflex line simplifies sparing and standardization for large deployments.
- CommShield RF Rejection — Built-in filtering suppresses interference from nearby smartphones and wireless devices.
