Shure MX202BP/MS Mini-Shotgun Overhead Microphone with Plate-Mount Preamp

Shure’s MX202 Microflex® Overhead condenser microphones capture high-quality sound in a compact, adjustable package. Each model features a choice of interchangeable cardioid, supercardioid, or mini-shotgun condenser microphone cartridges attached to a flexible, four inch gooseneck with a 30 foot cable. It’s hard to believe that such small, unobtrusive microphones can produce such great sound, but it's true. Available with plate mount preamps.

Cartridge polar pattern indicated by model number suffix: C = Cardioid, S = Supercardioid, N = No cartridge

Features

• Wide dynamic range and frequency response for accurate sound reproduction across the audio spectrum
• Balanced, transformerless output for increased immunity to noise over long cable runs
• Black finish that blends unobtrusively with surroundings
