Shure MX410LP-S

Microflex: A Shure Range Designed for Fixed Installation and Demanding Environments

The Microflex series includes installation microphones designed to cover a wide range of configurations, both wired and wireless, to meet the real constraints of audiovisual integration. This family targets applications in conference as well as the theater and broadcast sectors, where voice clarity, microphone fleet consistency, and ease of deployment are critical. Within this range, the Shure MX410/S stands out as a compact gooseneck solution focused on speech capture with marked directivity and refined aesthetics.

What Are the Best Uses for the Shure MX410/S?

The MX410/S is particularly recommended whenever the goal is to prioritize intelligibility and limit ambient noise pickup: meeting rooms, boardrooms, conference spaces, speaker podiums, or installations where multiple microphones coexist nearby. Its supercardioid electret capsule helps focus the capture on the speaker's voice while improving separation between speakers, an advantage for sound reinforcement, recording, or videoconferencing systems. Its compact dimensions facilitate a clean and professional integration, remaining visually discreet on a table or dedicated furniture.

Designed for Integration: Control, Robustness, and Sound Consistency

The MX410/S is designed for installations where a microphone is expected to be both stable, predictable, and easy to operate daily. The system is intended to be mounted on the MX400SMP preamplifier, which includes a low-cut filter switch: an essential adjustment to reduce vibrations, handling noise, room rumble, or certain table resonances. In modern environments, often saturated with mobile communications, the design claimed to be immune to GSM interference helps secure speech transmission and recording.

Interchangeable Capsules and Choice of Directivities

The Microflex series emphasizes a modular approach: models feature interchangeable capsules with a choice of omnidirectional, cardioid, or supercardioid directivities. The MX410/S is supplied here in a supercardioid configuration, preferred when isolating the speaker's voice from lateral sources and room noise is desired. This range consistency also facilitates standardizing a microphone fleet across multiple rooms while adapting directivity according to each space's constraints.

Bicolor LED Ring: A Simple User Indicator

In conference settings, user experience is as important as audio performance. The gooseneck integrates at its base a bicolor LED light ring, controllable by an external logic circuit. This type of visual feedback is useful for indicating a status (speaking, microphone active, priority, mute) and streamlining exchanges, especially when several participants speak in turn.

Voice-Optimized Performance

With a frequency response from 50 Hz to 17 kHz, the MX410/S covers the fundamentals and harmonics useful for speech while maintaining detailed reproduction. The specified values for sensitivity, noise level, and maximum sound pressure align with reliable voice capture, whether for room sound reinforcement, meeting recording, or integration into a broadcast chain.
