Shure MX405 5-inch Gooseneck Mic without Surface Mount Preamplifier (Cardioid Capsule)

The Shure MX405LP/C is a 5-inch gooseneck microphone designed specifically for clear and natural speech in settings like conference rooms, lecture halls, and other professional environments. It features a fixed cardioid condenser capsule that focuses on the speaker’s voice while minimizing background noise, making it ideal for presentations, meetings, and public speaking events.

This microphone connects through a proprietary analog output and requires phantom power between 11 and 52 volts to operate. Its end-address design allows for easy positioning, and the solid-state circuitry ensures reliable performance with a frequency response that covers 50 Hz to 17 kHz. The MX405LP/C can handle sound pressure levels up to 124.2 dB, which means it can capture loud speech without distortion.

Unlike other versions, this model does not include a surface mount preamplifier, making it a great choice for installations where a permanent, flush-mount setup is preferred and where selectable light ring indicators are not necessary. This makes it well suited for fixed installations in boardrooms, auditoriums, or any space where a discreet, professional microphone is needed.
