Shure MX400D Manuel D’Utilisation

Shure Microflex

®

 MX400D Series microphones 

are miniature electret condenser gooseneck mi-

crophones with a desktop base and a 3 m (10 ft.) 

cable. Desktop base allows microphones to be 

used in multi-purpose rooms where quick setup 

is required, or where permanent installation is 

impractical.

•  Wide dynamic range and frequency response 

for accurate sound reproduction

•  Interchangeable cartridges that provide a 

choice of polar pattern for each application

•  Programmable mute button and LED indicator
•  Logic input and output terminals for remote 

control or use with automatic microphone 

mixers

•  Balanced, transformerless output for increased 

immunity to noise over long cable runs

•  RF filtering

MX400 microphones are available with 305 mm 

(12 in.) or 457 mm (18 in.) goosenecks. 
•  “S” models include a mute button and LED. 
•  “D” models include a desktop base with 

programmable mute button and LED and logic 

input and output. 

•  “SE” models feature a surface mount flange 

with side-exit cable.

The polar pattern of the included cartridge is indi-

cated by a model number suffix:

/C Cardioid

/S Supercardioid

/N Cartridge not included

Microflex microphones use 

interchangeable cartridges 

that allow you to choose 

the polar pattern for differ-

ent installations.

•  Snap into the groove 

below the cartridge.

•  To remove, spread 

the gap with a 

screwdriver or 

thumbnail.

•  Provides 30 dB of 

“pop” protection.

•  Aim the microphone toward the desired source, 

such as the talker.

•  Aim it away from any unwanted source, such 

as a loudspeaker.

•  Place the microphone within 15 to 30cm (6 to 

12 in.) of the desired sound source.

•  Always use the supplied windscreen or optional 

metal windscreen to control breath noise.

•  If four or more microphones will be open at 

the same time, use of an automatic mixer, 

such as the Shure SCM810 or SCM410, is 

recommended.
