Product Description

Shure MX418 D/C, Gooseneck Table Condenser Microphone

The Microflex Miniature gooseneck microphones are condenser microphones that offer a high degree of flexibility through freely adjustable gooseneck and interchangeable condenser capsules with different directional characteristics. Designed for easy replacement and available in cardioid (C), super-cardioid (S) and omnidirectional (O) polar patterns, the interchangeable cartridges offer wide frequency response and accurate sound reproduction for a wide variety of applications, such as houses of worship, courtrooms and conference centres. Plus, the condenser cartridges fit every model in the Microflex product line for enhanced convenience and consistent sound.

Microflex Gooseneck microphones are available in four different models, lengths and mounting options. Four models have a button to mute with LED indicator.
