The MX424 provides clarity that commands attention, with maximum length to accommodate deep tables and expansive work surfaces.

How It Works
The MX424 allows articulate speech capture to be placed precisely where you need it. Its 24-inch gooseneck provides maximum reach in situations where the microphone is located farther from the talker. Compatibility with interchangeable Microflex cartridges allows a choice of polar patterns to match coverage areas or acoustic conditions.

Why It's Better

Microflex microphone cartridges are tailored specifically to capture the human voice, so the talker always comes through clearly.

No installation headaches
The included mounting accessories make the MX424 easy to install on a table, podium, or lectern in any space.

Clean signal
Shure Commshield is built into Microflex to reject RF interference from ever-present smart phones, keeping the focus on the performance.
