Keeping in mind the requirements of consistent audio quality in corporate presentations and top-tier broadcasts, Shure is launching its new Microflex MX415 Dual Cartridge Gooseneck Microphone to provide maximum versatility and a streamlined appearance for applications.
Shure also introduced a touch-sensitive Mute Button accessory (Microflex A400MB), that adds convenient audio mute functionality to the Microflex MX395-LED low-profile boundary microphones and MX405, MX410, and MX415 modular gooseneck microphones. It guarantees meeting participants confident control over audio muting—with easy and intuitive operation.
Mounted to a single, flexible gooseneck, the sleek, low-profile dual cartridge housing of Microflex MX415 ensures every word is captured simultaneously by two cardioid cartridges, each to a separate output preamp – ensuring reliable, multi-feed audio with a streamlined appearance for major broadcast events, corporate presentations, and all other critical use cases.
Each audio signal path is completely isolated with its own ground to ensure that electrical interference is not transferred between mics. With the integrated CommShield technology, RF interference from mobile devices is rejected, resulting in a clean signal to keep the focus on the speech. The most demanding situations are now covered by the new MX415DUAL, guaranteeing that the highest-profile speakers will sound extraordinary and deliver their messages successfully.
The new A400MB Mute Button can be easily customised to address a variety of room types and configurations. If A400MB mute buttons are installed with multiple microphones on a table, pushing any mute button can mute all the mics simultaneously, and all microphone LEDs can also change colour to show that the outgoing audio has been muted.
When used with Shure ANI4IN-BLOCK or ANI22-BLOCK audio network interfaces and the IntelliMix P300 audio conferencing processor, the mute and LED behaviour is synchronised to simultaneously mute them with Microsoft Teams and Zoom video conferencing platforms. This means the user’s mute status is instantly visible to all meeting participants, whether in the same room or joining from thousands of miles away.
The A400MB adds attractive and convenient muting capability to Microflex low-profile boundary and modular gooseneck microphones. It can be included with new projects or added to existing installations.
