Shure Brothers Inc MX418D/C Gooseneck Desktop Mic

Product Description

The SHURE BROTHERS INC MX418D/C is an 18-inch gooseneck desktop microphone designed for professional audio capture in conference, broadcast, and presentation environments. Built on a flexible gooseneck shaft, the unit mounts to a desktop surface and positions the capsule precisely toward the speaker. An integrated on/off switch gives the user direct control over signal activation without reaching for a separate controller. The cardioid polar pattern focuses pickup on the source while rejecting ambient noise from other directions. This microphone is installed by AV integrators, sound technicians, and licensed low-voltage contractors.

The MX418D/C suits boardrooms, courtrooms, lecterns, and broadcast desks where a low-profile, desktop-mounted microphone is required. The gooseneck design allows precise positioning without repositioning the base. The integrated switch makes it practical for panel discussions and multi-speaker setups where individual mute control is needed. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both permanent installation and portable desktop deployment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by AV integrators or low-voltage contractors. Before servicing any connected audio equipment, power down the mixer or preamp and mute all active channels. Route cabling through conduit or cable management pathways per local low-voltage wiring codes. Do not force the gooseneck into extreme bends beyond its rated flex range, as this can damage internal wiring.
