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.
Bidirectional Polar Pattern
Picks up sound equally from the front and back of the microphone.
OmniDirectional Polar Pattern
Equally sensitive to sound from all directions, but cannot be "aimed" to isolate one area.
Tailored Frequency Response
Smooth, extended response. Tuned to accentuate specific types of instruments, or voices.

MX395Microflex Low Profile Boundary Microphone

Shure
Condenser
Lightweight, sensitive diaphragm. Precisely and smoothly captures sound nuances. Powered by battery or phantom power supply.
Recommended Uses
Conference/Installed

The Microflex® Low Profile Boundary microphone is an ideal table microphone when minimal presence is of high priority. Perfect for meeting rooms, these microphones deliver exceptional sound pickup while barely being noticed. Choose from a selection of colors and pickup patterns for customized table installations.
