Precision Audio for Professional Conferencing and Presentations
The Shure MX418SS Microflex Supercardioid Gooseneck Condenser Microphone is an 18-inch (460mm) fully adjustable microphone designed for podium and desktop use in professional settings across Australia, such as houses of worship, courtrooms, and conference centers. Featuring a supercardioid polar pattern, a silent mute switch with LED indicator, and an attached XLR preamp, the MX418SS delivers high-quality speech reproduction with excellent off-axis noise rejection. Its interchangeable cartridge design and robust RFI resistance make it a versatile, reliable choice for demanding audio environments.
Clear and Focused Sound Capture
The MX418SS’s supercardioid polar pattern provides a tight pickup area, rejecting unwanted background noise and minimizing feedback, ideal for environments with multiple speakers or loud sound reinforcement systems. Its wide frequency response (50 Hz – 17 kHz) and high sensitivity (-33.5 dBV/Pa, 21.1 mV) ensure accurate, natural speech reproduction. The balanced, transformerless output maximizes immunity to electromagnetic hum and RF interference, even over long cable runs, delivering clean audio for conferencing, presentations, and teleconferencing. The silent membrane switch with a bi-color LED supports push-to-talk, push-to-mute, or toggle modes, offering flexible control.
Flexible and Durable Design
Part of Shure’s Microflex series, the MX418SS features a fully adjustable 18-inch gooseneck for precise positioning, paired with a low-profile black finish for discreet integration. The interchangeable condenser cartridge (supercardioid included; cardioid and omnidirectional available separately) allows customization for various applications. The microphone includes a shock mount for over 20 dB of isolation from surface vibrations, a snap-fit foam windscreen to reduce plosives, and a flange mount for secure installation on lecterns or tables. Requiring 11–52V DC phantom power, the MX418SS comes with a complete installation kit, including a 12 ft (3.7 m) XLR cable. Optional accessories like locking metal windscreens and shock-mount adapters enhance versatility.
