Detail 01
Cardioid pattern
Rejects sound from behind, so a floor monitor or wall speaker placed at the mic's rear stays out of the signal.

ShureMX410/C Microflex Mini 10" Gooseneck Mic Cardioid
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 10-inch gooseneck condenser for podiums, conference tables and altar mics. Buy it if you need permanently installed speech pickup with phantom power and logic control.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Podium or lectern speech in rooms with floor wedges nearby
- Boardroom tables where the mic stays mounted permanently
- Installs needing LED and mute logic tied to a control system
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a handheld or stand mic — this is a mount
- Recording music or instruments; the response tops out at 17 kHz
- Setups with no phantom power available at the input
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
50 Hz to 17 kHz response
Rolled off below 50 Hz, which cuts HVAC rumble and podium thumps rather than reproducing them.
Detail 03
48-52 VDC phantom, 8 mA
Needs a phantom-capable input or a Shure preamp base. It will not pass signal on an unpowered channel.
Detail 04
5-pin XLR output
Two pins carry audio, the rest carry logic. It does not drop into a normal 3-pin XLR cable.
Detail 05
Logic in/out, TTL
The mic can light an LED and report mute state to a control system, so button presses stay in sync.
Detail 06
Mute attenuation of at least 50 dB
Muting is deep enough that a live open channel next to it will not leak the muted talker.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Requires a Microflex preamp base or matching mount; the 5-pin cable is separate
- 02No stand, no case, no cable in the box
- 03Logic wiring to a control system is a separate install job
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I plug this straight into a normal mixer?
Not directly. The 5-pin XLR needs a Microflex preamp base or equivalent, which then feeds a standard 3-pin phantom-powered input.
02How long is the gooseneck?
Ten inches. That puts the capsule roughly at chin height above a podium surface, close enough for a talker at a fixed position.
03Does it come with a mute button?
The mic has mute switch attenuation and logic connections, but the physical button and LED live on the preamp base or control system you pair it with.
04Will it work for singing or acoustic guitar?
It is voiced for speech and mounted in one place. For music, a mic with wider response and flexible placement makes more sense.
