Product Overview
The Shure MX395 Microflex is a cardioid boundary microphone designed for sound-reinforcement and teleconferencing installations. It can be permanently installed on conference tables, desks, or lecterns. With a low-profile design, it's ideal for environments where minimal microphone visibility is desired. The AL-C-LED model features a bi-color LED ring for quick at-a-glance confirmation of mute status. The cardioid polar pattern captures clear speech with reduced room ambiance. The microphone includes a built-in low-cut filter to reduce low-frequency table noise. It features CommShield technology for electrical interference resistance. The MX395AL/C has a silver finish, a 3-pin XLR connector, and requires 11-52V phantom power for operation.
