Shure MX202 Microflex Condenser Overhead Microphone

It is hard to believe that such small, unobtrusive microphones can produce such great sound, but it's true. Available in black or bright-white finishes, and with in-line or plate mount preamps, MX202 Microflex® Overhead condenser microphones capture high-quality sound in a compact, adjustable package. Each model features a choice of interchangeable cardioid, supercardioid, or mini-shotgun condenser microphone cartridges attached to a flexible, four inch gooseneck with a 30 foot cable.

Cartridge polar pattern indicated by model number suffix: C = Cardioid, S = Supercardioid, N = No cartridge
