Shure MX418D-C Gooseneck Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Microflex? Gooseneck microphones bring a whole new meaning to the word flexible
with their fully adjustable gooseneck. Designed for easy replacement and available in
cardioid, supercardioid and omnidirectional 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 centers. 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 models with a variety of heights and mounting
styles to choose from. One model includes a silent mute switch with LED indicator, a Shure Microflex
exclusive. And every Microflex Gooseneck features high sensitivity and balanced, transformerless output
for maximum resistance to electromagnetic hum and RF interference, even over long cable runs.

• Connects easily via XLR connector

The hypercardioid polar pattern with its narrow 95° pickup angle is suited best for situations where noise typically occurs from all sides (particularly in worship centers), where people talk into the microphone from a greater distance, or where several talkers are grouped side by side. Two different lengths are available. The .exible joint ensures optimum alignment of the gooseneck to any talker position. Several options are available for installation, i.e., stand, tabletop installation, and lockable.

Choosing polar patterns

Selecting the correct polar pattern for installed sound is difficult since it depends on a variety of factors. Of course the acoustics of the room play a key role. For highly reverberant rooms such as worship centers, a hypercardioid polar pattern will be the best choice to avoid high levels of unwanted noise. Correct placement of the loudspeakers is also essential. If the speakers project right at the capsule, a hypercardioid will be your best bet. The most difficult task, however, is trying to judge how the talkers will behave. For talkers who are inexperienced or move around a lot, be sure to choose a cardioid polar pattern for reliable pickup; talkers at a greater distance from the mic will be served best by a hypercardioid.

The microphone shall be a hypercardioid gooseneck microphone. Its pickup angle shall be 95 degrees; frequency range 50 Hz to 19 kHz; sensitivity 12 mV/Pa; max. SPL 125 dB; electrical impedance
