The MX405 and MX410 are five and 10" goosenecks, respectively, offered in both wired and wireless configurations. Outfitted with fully adjustable goosenecks, five-pin XLR connectors (wired versions), and a sleek new windscreen, both models can be used with a surface-mount preamp, a wired desktop base with a programmable mute switch, or the MX890 wireless desktop base with a programmable mute switch. Users can also choose either a bi-colour status indicator or a red light ring to keep tabs on microphone operation, say Shure.
Available finished in white, black, and aluminum, the low-profile MX395 boundary mic is aimed at installations where aesthetics are a top priority. Omni, cardioid, and bi-directional polar patterns are offered on the mic, as is an optional logic-controlled, bi-colour status indicator (black models only).
Sold as either a two or three-element desktop conference microphone, the MX396 comes with a centrally mounted, remote-controlled, bi-colour status indicator and integrated mute switch. To accommodate different seating arrangements, the elements in the three-element model can be reconfigured for centre-of-table or end-of-table applications.
Complementing the new offerings are models MX690 and MX890. A wireless desktop boundary microphone, the MX690 features a bi-colour status indicator, mute switch, and infrared sync. The MX890 is a wireless desktop base unit offering a quick-release, six-pin jack which facilitates gooseneck changes, a mute switch, and infrared sync, the company says.
