- Cardioid Polar Pattern
- Picks up the most sound in front of the microphone and some from the sides. Less susceptible to feedback in high volume environments.
- OmniDirectional Polar Pattern
- Equally sensitive to sound from all directions, but cannot be "aimed" to isolate one area.
- SuperCardioid Polar Pattern
- Screens unwanted sound sources. Ideal for individual instruments in a multi-microphone setting, or single sources in noisy environments.
- Tailored Frequency Response
- Smooth, extended response. Tuned to accentuate specific types of instruments, or voices.
MX392 MX393Microflex Boundary Microphones
- Condenser
- Lightweight, sensitive diaphragm. Precisely and smoothly captures sound nuances. Powered by battery or phantom power supply.
- Recommended Uses
- Stage Floor
- Conference/Installed
MX392 and MX393 Microflex® Wired Boundary Microphones from Shure are equipped with features like programmable, silent membrane switches, logic inputs and outputs, and green LED indicators. The high-quality solution for a range of applications such as altars, boardrooms and distance learning centers, Microflex Boundary microphones feature interchangeable condenser cartridges.
- MX392: Surface-mount mic; LED logic input/switch logic output terminals, screw terminal connections, attached unterminated cable
- MX393: Surface-mount mic; miniature three pin connector, 12' XLR cable
- Flat frequency response across the vocal range for uncolored sound
- Interchangeable cardioid, supercardioid, and omnidirectional cartridges that provide optimal choice for each application
- Sleek, low-profile design for unobtrusive appearance
- Balanced, transformerless output for increased immunity to noise over long cable runs
- Programmable membrane on/off switch plus LED on/off indicator
- LED logic input and switch logic output terminals for remote control or use with automatic mixers (MX392 models only)
