Microflex Microphones

Professional microphones for a wide variety of installed applications.

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.
