The interchangeable cartridges allow you to switch between cardioid, supercardioid, or mini-shotgun polar patterns depending on your audio needs. This versatility allows the microphone to adapt to different sound sources and environments.
The model number suffix indicates the cartridge polar pattern. 'C' represents Cardioid, 'S' for Supercardioid, 'N' for models without a cartridge, and 'MS' for Mini-Shotgun.
The MX202 Microflex Overhead Microphone comes with a generous 30-foot cable, providing ample reach for even the most complex setups.
The flexible four-inch gooseneck design allows for precise positioning to ensure optimal sound pickup. This flexibility makes it ideal for various overhead applications.
The MX202 Microflex Overhead Microphone is manufactured by Shure, a well-known and reputable brand in the audio industry known for its high-quality and durable products.

Overhead microphone delivers clear, accurate audio with interchangeable cartridges and an unobtrusive, bright white or black design.
It is hard to believe that such small, unobtrusive microphones can produce such great sound, but it's true. Available in black or bright-white finishes, and with in-line or plate mount preamps, MX202 Microflex Overhead condenser microphones capture high-quality sound in a compact, adjustable package. Each model features a choice of interchangeable cardioid, supercardioid, or mini-shotgun condenser microphone cartridges attached to a flexible, four inch gooseneck with a 30 foot cable.
