MX400SE -- Gooseneck Microphones
General Description
®
Shure Microflex MX400SE Series microphones are miniature gooseneck-mounted electret condenser micro-
phones 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, a
3.66 m (12 ft.) cable.
MX400 microphones are available with 305 mm (12 in.) or 457 mm (18 in.) goosenecks, with or without a mute
switch. They are available in supercardioid, cardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns.
• "S" models include a mute button and LED.
• "D" models include a desktop base with programmable mute button and LED and logic input and output.
• "SE" models feature a surface mount flange with side-exit cable.
The polar pattern of the included cartridge is indicated by a model number suffix:
/C Cardioid
/S Supercardioid
/O Omnidirectional
/N Cartridge not included
