ShureMX418SE/C Microflex Gooseneck Condenser Mic
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Black gooseneck condenser mic for lecterns, conference tables and installs. For fixed speech setups, not music recording or handheld use.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Podium and lectern speech in a house of worship or hall
- Boardroom and conference tables with a permanent mic position
- Council chambers or classrooms needing a discreet fixed mic
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Handheld vocals or any moving performer
- Portable gigs that need setup and teardown each night
- Mixers or interfaces without phantom power
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
Condenser element
Picks up speech clearly at a short distance without the talker leaning in, unlike a handheld dynamic.
Detail 03
Microflex install line
Built for permanent mounting into furniture or a lectern rather than sitting on a mic stand.
Detail 04
Requires phantom power
Runs from the mixer's 48V or an inline preamp. No battery option to manage.
Detail 05
Black finish
Disappears against dark lecterns and camera backgrounds. Light-colored furniture will show it.
Detail 06
$315 each
Cost is per position. A conference table with six seats means six mics and six channels.

02Does it need phantom power?
Yes. It is a condenser and needs 48V from the mixer or an inline supply.
03Can I use it for singing or recording instruments?
