Shure Brothers Inc CVO-W/C Cardioid Condenser Mic

Product Description

The SHURE BROTHERS, INC. CVO-W/C is a cardioid low-profile overhead condenser microphone designed for surface-mount wired installation. This type of microphone captures sound from a defined front direction while rejecting off-axis noise, making it well suited for fixed-mount applications where a low-visibility profile is required. Licensed audio technicians and AV integrators typically specify this class of mic for permanent installations in conference rooms, houses of worship, and similar environments where ceiling or surface mounting is the standard deployment method.

The CVO-W/C is intended for surface-mount wired applications in settings that demand discreet overhead microphone placement. It is sold as a single unit and falls within the surface mount wired microphone category. Typical install scenarios include boardrooms, lecture halls, and performance venues where overhead cardioid pickup is preferred to reduce handling noise and table clutter. Note that this part has been marked discontinued by the manufacturer; verify current availability through your distributor before specifying for new installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified AV technician or licensed low-voltage contractor familiar with permanent microphone wiring. Power down or de-energize the mixing console or audio interface phantom power supply before making or breaking connections. Wiring runs should comply with applicable local low-voltage and telecommunications cabling codes. Do not overtighten surface-mount hardware, as excessive force can damage the microphone body or mounting surface.
