Product Overview
The Shure MX418D/N is a miniature gooseneck-mounted electret condenser microphone for speech and vocal pickup. 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. This particular product includes no mic cartridge (cartridges sold separately-contact your sales representative for more information) . Plus, the condenser cartridges fit every model in the Microflex product line for enhanced convenience and consistent sound. The MX418D/N features an attached 10 ft. XLR cable, logic functions, programmable switch and LED indicator, and an attached desktop base.
