Shure Microflex Condenser Microphone for Speech & Conference Rooms

Designed for professional environments where clear, natural voice reproduction is essential, the Shure Microflex Condenser Microphone delivers reliable performance across a range of settings—from corporate boardrooms and presentations to education spaces and conference rooms. The black, low-profile gooseneck design blends seamlessly with podiums, tables, and lecterns while providing precise pickup through a cardioid pattern that focuses on the speaker’s voice and minimizes ambient noise. With a compact 1.25 ft length, this microphone offers flexible placement options without intruding on sightlines or table space, making it ideal for hot-desking setups, hybrid meetings, and lecture halls. Engineered to handle daily usage in demanding environments, it pairs a high-quality condenser capsule with a robust 5-pin XLR connection for dependable integration with professional audio ecosystems. Whether you’re streaming a presentation, hosting a corporate briefing, or teaching in a classroom, the Microflex delivers intelligible, full-range sound—from deep lows to shimmering highs—so every speaker is heard with clarity and confidence.

• Crystal-clear speech with cardioid pickup — The cardioid pattern concentrates on sound directly in front of the microphone, delivering exceptional intelligibility for speeches, presentations, and panel discussions while minimizing noise from the sides and rear. This focused pickup is especially valuable in conference rooms and education spaces where ambient room noise and HVAC systems can obscure voice clarity. The result is a natural, conversation-ready voice that remains steady even as speakers move slightly off-axis, making it ideal for lecture-style setups, corporate briefings, and hybrid classrooms.
• Gooseneck design and flexible mounting — The 1.25 ft (approximately 38 cm) gooseneck provides thoughtful reach and positioning options for podiums, chair-side tables, and lecterns. Its slim profile keeps sightlines clean and professional, while allowing precise angle adjustment to align with individual speakers. This flexibility is particularly beneficial in multipurpose conference rooms and educational spaces where room configurations frequently change, enabling quick reconfiguration for guest speakers, instructors, or panelists without tools or replacement parts.
• Professional connectivity and impedance for reliable integration — With a 5-pin XLR connector and an impedance of 170 ohms, this condenser microphone is designed for compatibility with a wide range of professional audio gear, from high-end mixers to conferencing systems. The 50 Hz to 17 kHz frequency range captures the full voice spectrum, delivering warm lows, natural mids, and crisp highs that translate into engaging, lifelike sound in live presentations and recorded lectures. The robust XLR connection ensures secure signal transmission in busy environments and supports integration into existing audio networks, making it a trustworthy centerpiece for corporate AV setups and educational studios.
• Durable construction and sophisticated black finish — Built to withstand daily use in busy classrooms, meeting rooms, and training facilities, the Microflex deliver a professional look that matches its performance. The black finish blends with most decors and furniture, maintaining a clean, understated aesthetic on desks, podiums, or wall-mounted configurations. Combined with Shure’s renowned engineering quality, this microphone is built to endure frequent handling, positioning adjustments, and long operational lifespans in corporate and educational environments.
• Versatility across environments: speech, conference, corporate, and education — Whether you’re coordinating a hybrid meeting, delivering an in-person lecture, or leading a corporate workshop, this microphone is purpose-built for reliable, high-fidelity speech capture. Its gooseneck form factor, cardioid pickup, and professional XLR connection make it suitable for a wide range of applications—from boardroom presentations and training sessions to lecture halls and seminar rooms. The Microflex’s combination of voice-focused pickup and flexible mounting options helps you achieve consistent audio quality across diverse settings with minimal setup time.

How to Install Shure Microflex Condenser Microphone

• Plan the placement to optimize pickup for the speaker’s typical distance. Mount the gooseneck on a podium, conference table, or wall/desk mount as your room design requires, then adjust the neck to align with the speaker’s mouth height for optimal intelligibility.
• Route the 5-pin XLR cable to your mixer, audio interface, or conferencing system. Ensure connections are secure and that the receiving device has an appropriate mic input configured for the microphone’s impedance and signal level.
• Power considerations: follow your conferencing or mixing system’s guidelines regarding power. Condenser microphones often require a preamp and may rely on phantom power or an active mic stage; enable the appropriate power source if your equipment supports it, or use a preamp designed for condenser capsules if phantom power is not available.
• Set the gain and level: start with a conservative input level on your mixer or interface to avoid clipping. Gradually increase until speech sounds strong and natural without distortion, then perform a quick test with a speaker at normal talking distance. If the room has noticeable reflections, consider gentle equalization or a high-pass filter to minimize low-frequency rumble.
• Test across scenarios: have multiple participants speak from various distances and angles relative to the microphone. Confirm consistent intelligibility, minimal plosives, and smooth off-axis response. If needed, fine-tune the microphone’s height, angle, or distance to maintain stable voice pickup during meetings, lectures, or demonstrations.
