ShureMX202P MicroFlex Overhead Condenser Mic with Plate-Mount Preamp Black Cardioid
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Overhead hanging condenser for choirs, stage pickup and ceiling installs. Plate-mount preamp keeps the electronics out of sight at the mounting point.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Hanging over a choir loft or stage from a ceiling
- Permanent installs where cable and preamp must stay hidden
- Rooms where a mic stand on the floor isn't an option
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a portable mic to move between rooms
- Close-miking a single source on a stand
- Setups without phantom power at the mixer
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Plate-mount preamp
Preamp electronics live in a plate at the ceiling or wall, so nothing bulky hangs in view on the cable.
Detail 03
Cardioid, 66.0 dB
Picks up in front, rejects behind. Aimed down at a group it favors them over room reflections and HVAC.
Detail 04
Supercardioid option, 67.5 dB
Tighter front pickup than cardioid with a small rear lobe. More gain before feedback in a live room.
Detail 05
-18 to 57 degrees C operating range
Handles the heat that collects near a ceiling in an unconditioned hall.
Final check

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Where does the preamp go?
It mounts in a plate at the ceiling or wall rather than hanging inline on the cable, so nothing bulky sits in view above the room.
02Is this cardioid or supercardioid?
Both patterns are covered — 66.0 dB cardioid and 67.5 dB supercardioid. Supercardioid gives a tighter front pickup for more gain before feedback.
03Can it handle a hot room near the ceiling?
Operating range is -18 to 57 degrees C (0 to 135 degrees F), which covers the warm air that collects at ceiling height.
04Does it need phantom power?
Yes. It's a condenser, so it needs phantom power from your mixer or audio interface to work.
