Shure MXC406/MS Gooseneck Microphone

The MXC406/MS is a short gooseneck microphone equipped with the R189 mini-shotgun cartridge. Compatible with MXC and MXCW-series conference units, the MXC406/MS is ideal for situations where room aesthetics require a shorter, less visible gooseneck microphone.

Its narrow pickup angle rejects unwanted ambient noise and helps to compensate for the greater distance from the talker, making it especially useful in rooms with higher noise levels.

An integrated bi-color LED indicates microphone status. CommShield® Technology provides enhanced immunity to RF noise from mobile phones or tablets.
