Shure Brothers MX395B/O Boundary Microphone Omnidirectional

Product Description

The SHURE BROTHERS INC. MX395B/O is a low-profile black button-style boundary microphone designed for surface-mount wired applications. It features an omnidirectional polar pattern, which captures sound evenly from all directions, making it well suited for conference rooms, boardrooms, courtrooms, and similar acoustic environments. The microphone terminates with a 3-pin XLR connector for standard balanced-line integration into mixing consoles, preamps, and installed audio systems. Its flat, unobtrusive form factor allows it to sit flush on tables, podiums, or wall surfaces without interfering with sightlines. Installation is typically performed by a licensed audio systems contractor or low-voltage technician.

This surface-mount boundary microphone is intended for permanent or semi-permanent installation in speech-reinforcement and sound-capture systems. The omnidirectional pickup pattern makes it practical for applications where multiple talkers are seated around a table or distributed across a room. It connects directly into professional installed-sound signal chains via its balanced XLR output, eliminating the need for adapters in standard AV rack or mixer configurations. Typical use environments include corporate conference facilities, government and legal settings, houses of worship, and educational institutions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed audio systems contractor familiar with installed-sound practices. Power down or mute all connected amplifiers and mixing equipment before wiring the XLR connector to avoid signal transients. Secure the microphone to its mounting surface per the manufacturer mounting instructions before connecting signal cables. Reference applicable low-voltage wiring codes for the jurisdiction when routing cables through walls or ceilings.
