Shure Microflex MX415RLP/S Condenser Microphone for Speech, Conference Room, Boardroom - Black

The Shure Microflex MX415RLP/S is a high-performance condenser microphone designed for speech-intensive environments where clarity, intelligibility, and reliability are non-negotiable. Built for modern conference rooms, corporate facilities, educational spaces, and boardrooms, this gooseneck microphone delivers pristine voice capture with outstanding off-axis rejection and minimal feedback. With a broad 50 Hz to 17 kHz frequency range, a compact black finish, and professional XLR-level output, the MX415RLP/S blends seamlessly into any sophisticated meeting space while providing the powerful sound reinforcement needed for impactful presentations and seamless conversations.

• Superior frequency range for natural voice. The MX415RLP/S delivers a broad 50 Hz to 17 kHz response, capturing the warmth of lower vocal energy while preserving the crisp detail of upper harmonics. This wide range ensures that every speaker, from authoritative executives to instructors, comes through with clear, intelligible speech across the room. Whether presenting a data-heavy briefing or guiding an engaging classroom discussion, this microphone preserves speech nuances without sounding muffled or overly bright.
• Excellent off-axis rejection with a super-cardioid pattern. Designed to minimize room noise and feedback, the super-cardioid pickup pattern focuses on the primary sound source while rejecting sounds from the sides and rear. In busy meeting spaces with multiple speakers, projection screens, projectors, and ambient noise, the MX415RLP/S maintains consistent volume and clarity for every voice in the room, helping ensure everyone is heard without competing with distractions.
• Flexible gooseneck for precise positioning. The gooseneck design provides robust, adjustable positioning for fixed installations in desks, lecterns, or podiums. The MX415RLP/S lets you dial in the ideal angle and distance from the speaker’s mouth, promoting optimal pickup and reducing breath pops and plosives. Its stable construction holds its position during long meetings, guaranteeing consistent performance session after session.
• Reliable professional connectivity and impedance. With an impedance of 170 Ohms and XLR-capable output, this microphone pairs smoothly with a wide range of mic preamps, mixers, and conference systems. The high-quality signal path supports long cable runs and preserves signal integrity in complex setups, making it suitable for corporate boardrooms, multimedia classrooms, and large conference facilities where dependable performance is essential.
• Discrete black aesthetics and durable build for professional spaces. The MX415RLP/S blends into contemporary interiors with a sleek black finish that doesn’t distract from presentations. Beyond its appearance, Shure’s renowned build quality ensures the microphone withstands daily use in busy spaces, including frequent setup changes and long-term installation projects. It’s designed to deliver consistent performance during high-pressure presentations, training sessions, and boardroom discussions.

how to install Shure Microflex MX415RLP/S

• Plan the installation location on a desk, podium, or lectern to optimize voice pickup while avoiding direct exposure to loud noise sources and air drafts. Ensure the microphone is within easy reach of presenters without obstructing sightlines.
• Connect the MX415RLP/S to a compatible mic preamp, mixer, or conferencing system using a standard XLR cable. Confirm the preamp provides the necessary power to operate a condenser microphone as required by your setup.
• Position the gooseneck so the microphone faces the speaker at an appropriate distance—typically close enough to capture the voice clearly while minimizing breath sounds and plosives. Lock the gooseneck in place to maintain the chosen angle throughout the session.
• Route the cable discreetly along furniture edges or through cable management channels to minimize tripping hazards and keep the workspace clean. Use cable ties or clips if needed to secure the run.
• Test the system by having multiple speakers and seating arrangements participate in a quick run-through. Adjust gain, equalization, and any high-pass filtering to achieve balanced vocal clarity across the room, then lock in your settings for future meetings.
