Shure introduces additional Microflex Microphones

At prolight+sound the new line extension to the Microflex microphone family is one of the highlights at the Shure booth at this year's Prolight + Sound, taking place from March 28 – 31, 2007 in Frankfurt/Main. These models, particularly designed for conferencing applications, grant AV-integrators the highest level of flexibility to choose the perfect microphone – wired or wireless. All models allow for a low-profile integration in any conference environment and offer the excellent sound quality Shure is known for world-wide. Furthermore the new Microflex microphones impress with remarkable design and innovative LED indicators for easy monitoring of microphone status. The new wireless Microflex models are based on the successful Shure SLX wireless platform, providing easy set-up and superior sound via patented Audio Reference Companding technology. For greater flexibility, certain models offer interchangeable microphone capsules and a choice of various polar patterns. All models are equipped with a switchable low cut filter. Several new models were introduced at the prolight+sound show 2007. The MX405 and MX410 miniature gooseneck microphones are 5 and 10 inch (12,7 and 25,4 cm) fully adjustable gooseneck microphones featuring a 6-pin mini-connector and a new sleek windscreen. Customers can choose between a bi-color status indicator and a red light ring, both logic-controlled. The new models can be used with a surface mount preamplifier, a wired desktop base with programmable mute switch or the MX890 wireless desktop base with simple mute switch. The MX890 Wireless Desktop Base offers a quick release 6-pin microphone jack for interchanging goosenecks, mute switch and infrared sync functionality. The MX690 wireless boundary desktop microphone features a top mounted bi-color status indicator, mute switch and infrared sync functionality. The MX395 low profile boundary microphones are available in white, black and aluminium for permanent installations where aesthetics are a top priority. Users can choose between omni, cardioid and bi-directional (figure-eight) polar patterns. An optional remote-controllable, bi-color status indicator (black models only) is offered. The MX396 two and three element desktop conference microphones offer a center mounted, remote-controllable, bi-color status indicator with integrated mute switch. They can be used in a variety of applications and the microphone elements in the three-element model can be re-aimed to accommodate different seating arrangements.
