Product Description

Shure MX418SE/S 18-inch Supercardioid Gooseneck Microphone

The Shure MX418SE/S 18" Gooseneck Condenser Supercardioid Microphone comes with an attached XLR Preamp, Shock & Flange Mount, 10' Side- (or Bottom-) Exit Cable, Snap-Fit Foam Windscreen.

MX400SE Series microphones are miniature gooseneck-mounted electret condenser microphones designed primarily for speech and vocal pickup. Their high sensitivity and broad frequency range make them suitable for recording, as well as sound reinforcement applications.

The MX400SE series can be screwed onto a mic stand or the supplied 5/8 in. 27-threaded flange. They can be easily changed from side exit to bottom exit to conceal the cabling. All models include an in-line preamplifier, and a 3.66 m (12 ft.) cable.

Features

• Wide dynamic range and frequency response for accurate sound reproduction
• Interchangeable cartridges that provide a choice of polar pattern for each application
• Shock mount provides over 20 dB of isolation from surface vibration noise
• Snap-fit foam windscreen
• RF filtering
