The Shure MX412 is a professional gooseneck condenser microphone designed for high-quality, unobtrusive audio capture in fixed installation applications such as conference rooms, lecture halls, council chambers, and houses of worship. It features a 12-inch flexible gooseneck that allows for precise positioning of the condenser capsule, enabling optimal placement toward the speaker while maintaining a low visual profile on a lectern or table. The microphone utilizes an electret condenser element with a cardioid polar pattern, providing focused pickup from the front while effectively rejecting ambient noise and feedback from monitor speakers, ensuring clear, intelligible speech reinforcement.

Engineered for reliability and ease of integration, the MX412 operates on standard +48V phantom power supplied by the connected mixing console or in-line power supply. It includes a three-position switch offering flat response, a low-frequency roll-off to reduce rumble, and a pre-attenuation setting to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion. The microphone is designed to mount directly into a standard 5/8"-27 threaded microphone stand receptacle, which is commonly found in built-in lecterns and tabletop bases. Its durable construction and timeless matte black finish ensure it blends discreetly into professional environments.

As a staple in installed sound systems, the Shure MX412 provides a trusted solution for clear vocal pickup in formal settings. Its combination of flexible positioning, consistent cardioid performance, and integrated controls makes it an ideal choice for situations where presenters need reliable, hands-free audio without the visual distraction of a handheld microphone. By delivering consistent, high-quality sound day after day, it serves as a dependable component in professional audio systems worldwide.
