This gooseneck microphone blends the iconic Shure reliability with a discreet, adjustable form factor that sits comfortably on podiums, lecterns, and conference tables. The cardioid pickup pattern focuses on the speaker’s voice, dramatically reducing room ambience and feedback, while the extended frequency response from 50 Hz to 17 kHz preserves warmth in the lows and clarity in the highs. The all-black chassis blends with most interiors and user environments, from corporate boardrooms to educational facilities, ensuring an unobtrusive presence on stage or at the lectern. Whether used for keynote presentations, panel discussions, or training sessions, the Microflex is engineered for consistent audio capture across a wide range of speaking styles and room sizes. Its compact gooseneck design allows precise positioning, enabling hands-free operation for presenters, moderators, and instructors alike. Robust build quality and Shure’s trusted reputation for microphone hardware make it a dependable choice for systems that must work smoothly day after day. The Microflex line is crafted to integrate with a variety of audio ecosystems, including 6-pin capable interfaces, standard mic preamps, and conferencing platforms, giving AV managers flexibility to design scalable, future-proof configurations. In short, this microphone is a versatile, high-fidelity solution for speech-heavy applications where intelligibility, distance tolerance, and consistent coverage across seating areas are essential.

• Crystal-clear voice reproduction: The cardioid pickup pattern focuses sound from the front, delivering natural, intelligible speech while minimizing side noises, room reverberation, and HVAC rumble for cleaner recordings and presentations. This results in consistent performance whether the room is quiet or filled with active discussion, making it ideal for keynote remarks, panel Q&As, and classroom lectures.
• Flexible gooseneck design: The microphone sits on a robust, maneuverable neck that can be adjusted to any angle, height, or position at lecterns, podiums, or table-mount setups. Its slim profile and durable fittings keep it stable during busy sessions, while clean cable routing maintains a tidy, professional presentation environment.
• Wide frequency response for clarity: With a 50 Hz to 17 kHz range, the Microflex preserves the warmth of lower frequencies and the crisp articulation of higher frequencies, ensuring voices sound natural and engaging. This broad range supports clear diction for speakers with varied vocal tones and reduces listener fatigue during long sessions.
• Low-noise condenser technology: Engineered for high signal-to-noise performance, this mic captures subtle vocal inflections while maintaining clean, distortion-free output in busy rooms. The result is vibrant, intelligible dialogue even as crowd noise rises, which is crucial for Q&A sessions and crowded conference environments.
• Seamless integration and durability: Black finish blends into most interiors, while robust construction withstands daily use in classrooms, training centers, and corporate spaces. Its compatibility with 6-pin interfaces supports flexible integration with compatible consoles and conferencing systems, delivering reliable performance within scalable AV deployments.

How to install Shure Microflex Condenser Microphone

• Identify the ideal mounting location on a lectern, conference table, or compatible surface mount; ensure there is a clear line of sight to the speaker while keeping cables out of the way of the presenter’s movements.
• Attach the gooseneck microphone to its stand or mounting cradle, ensuring a secure fit and the ability to angle the neck toward the speaker’s mouth for best pickup.
• Route the cable along the edge of the podium or through grommets, using cable clips to keep it tidy and prevent tripping hazards; minimize cable length to reduce potential interference.
• Connect the microphone to your audio system using a compatible input; if your system requires phantom power, enable it on the mixer or power supply as needed; verify the 6-pin connector configuration if applicable.
• Position the microphone so that it remains stable during use and at an appropriate distance (about 6–12 inches from the mouth for most speech scenarios); perform a sound check, adjust gain, and set any necessary EQ or compressor settings to achieve even vocal quality across the room.
