Shure Microflex MX202W-A/N Wired Condenser Microphone

The Shure Microflex MX202W-A/N is a compact, unobtrusive overhead condenser microphone designed to deliver exceptional vocal clarity in modern meeting spaces. Available in a bright white finish to blend with contemporary interiors (and paired with versatile in-line or plate-mount preamps), this microphone rises above its small footprint to provide professional-grade sound for conferences, boardrooms, classrooms, and training rooms. Its unobtrusive design keeps sightlines clean while its audio performance keeps every speaker, presenter, and participant heard with natural warmth and intelligibility. Whether you’re outfitting a premium boardroom or equipping a flexible huddle space, the MX202W-A/N offers reliable, high-quality sound in a minimal package.

  • Compact, adjustable design for precise positioning: The MX202W-A/N is engineered to sit overhead without drawing attention, yet its neck and head are adjustable so you can fine-tune aiming toward the speaker’s voice for consistent pickup across the room. This makes it ideal for rooms with variable seating or layouts where wall-mounted mics aren’t feasible.
  • Flexible preamp options for clean integration: Choose between in-line or plate-mount preamps to match your installation needs. The in-line preamp allows for quick, surface-level integration, while the plate-mount option provides a clean, flush appearance when ceiling or beam mounting is preferred. Both routes are designed to preserve signal quality from the microphone to your mixer or AV system.
  • Two-tone appeal with professional finishes: The MX202W-A/N comes in a bright white finish that blends with modern corporate and educational spaces, offering a professional look that minimizes visual distraction while maintaining top-tier performance. For environments favoring a classic black appearance, Shure offers related models in darker tones to suit your room’s aesthetic.
  • Dedicated to reliable, natural sound capture: This overhead condenser microphone is built to capture the human voice with warmth and clarity, minimizing the impact of room ambience and HVAC noise. The design emphasizes a natural sounding voice with smooth high-end detail, ensuring speakers are heard clearly whether you’re recording a presentation, hosting a panel, or facilitating a video conference.
  • Simple installation, broad compatibility: Designed to integrate smoothly with standard conference room AV setups, this microphone supports common preamp configurations and wiring practices. Its compact footprint and adjustable mounting options help streamline installation in new builds or retrofits, reducing the amount of visible hardware while delivering consistent performance across environments.

How to install Shure Microflex MX202W-A/N

  • Assess room layout and mounting options: Determine whether overhead installation suits your space, and decide between ceiling-grid, beam, or mounted-ceiling applications. Consider sightlines, speaker placement, and potential lighting positions to ensure optimal voice pickup without obstruction.
  • Choose the appropriate preamp configuration: Based on ceiling height and installation aesthetics, select either the in-line preamp or the plate-mount preamp. Each option has its own routing considerations; plan cable paths that minimize length while preserving signal integrity.
  • Prepare mounting hardware and cabling: Gather the necessary brackets, cables, and connectors for your chosen preamp. Ensure that cables are rated for the installation environment and routed with proper protection to avoid wear or accidental disconnections.
  • Install the microphone and align for optimal pickup: Secure the MX202W-A/N in the chosen mounting location. Use the adjustable neck and head to aim the microphone toward the primary speaker area, testing different angles to achieve even coverage across seating positions.
  • Connect to power and test the system: Connect the microphone to its preamp, then route the signal to the mixer or AV hub. Apply phantom power and perform a test sweep with multiple speakers and audience participants to verify consistent vocal clarity and minimal room noise pickup.
  • Calibrate and document settings: After confirming performance, lock in the preferred position, note the preamp setting, and document routing for facilities staff or future upgrades. Keep a log of any room-specific adjustments for repeatable results in different configurations.
  • Maintenance and future-proofing: Periodically inspect mounting hardware, cables, and connectors for wear. Replace or upgrade preamps as needed to stay aligned with evolving AV systems and software updates in conferencing platforms.
