    • Excellent Microphone!
Size: 12" Gooseneck Style: Supercardioid Pattern Name: Standard
Excellent microphone! The Shure MX412/S is an excellent microphone! I have the microphone mounted on a podium using the shock mount and setup for speakers / preachers in the pulpit. This condenser microphone looks great and works perfectly with our P/A system. It allows for good volume without overwhelming the audience and it provides crystal clear voice sound. We are extremely pleased with this microphone! ... show more

    • Standard podium mic.
Size: 18" Gooseneck Style: Cardioid Pattern Name: Standard
Works for people that tend to not talk near or directly at the mic. It sounds good if you have a tuned system. Very easy to position.

    • Works well for church pulpit application
Size: 18" Gooseneck Style: Cardioid Pattern Name: Standard
Using it for a church application. Works great. Paired with a good mixer, speakers, and amps, it delivers a high quality signal to the mixer. Pop filter works great to keep the pop out when people say words with "p" sounds (lots of p's in that sentence coincidentally). Not much hiss with the s's either. Works well enough even when individuals don't speak directly into it as long as the other components in your setup allow you to increase the gain to make up for it without feedback. Tends not to pick up as much noise as lower quality mics we've used in the past and handles being moved around for speakers of different height. Very easy to install and unobtrusive. ... show more

    • Mic for church pulpit
Size: 18" Gooseneck Style: Cardioid Pattern Name: Shock Mount
Our 412 went bad after several years of use. Decided to replace with the 418 to be able to position the mic closer to speakers. Great mic, wouldn’t go with another brand for these. Can’t beat them.

    • Good Mic but with a Warning
Size: 18" Gooseneck Style: Supercardioid Pattern Name: Desktop Base
so let me get the "warning" out of the way first - this is a 18" long model and in hindsight i wish i gotten the 12" version. i have this mic on my desk and this 18" version actually positions it perfectly from acoustical pickup perspective but makes it harder to lean on the desk to rest your back - the mic is too close to the face which is a little uncomfortable psychologically. my desk is 30" deep and the mic is almost all the way at the other side. a shorter 12" size would maybe not be as good acoustically but would allow you greater freedom to lean on your desk if you're like me and like to do that. that's just something i felt like sharing but it is by no means a downside to this mic. now to the mic itself - i compared this to my Shure Beta 87A mic and my AKG C414 mic. compared to 87A ( stage vocal mic ) this one is much more sensitive and has much better bass and crisper top. compared to C414 ( studio recording mic ) it has approximately equal voicing and sensitivity, but is not as detailed - not even close. with the 418 when you speak into it it sounds good, but if you try to record room background noise its all a mush - while with the C414 if you record background noise you can make out all the individual noises separately - this means that this mic does not have a lot of dynamic range - limited by self noise. never the less for what it is it works perfectly. the speech it records is very crisp - it just doesn't have that depth or airiness that a large diaphragm recording mic like C414 has - but for teleconferencing that doesn't matter. when you first plug it in it makes horrible noises but those go away after a few minutes - apparently it needs to charge up a few capacitors first. so have a little patience there. the build quality is SUPERB. the cord is very long ( didn't measure it but looks about 12 feet ) and the packaging was ridiculously huge - and im not talking about amazon packaging - im talking about the shure box - it's about a cubic foot and 2 feet long. no assembly required - it simply ships in a huge box. great product overall and i love it. i wish i could have compared it to Sennheiser offering as Sennheiser is probably excellent as well, but i could not find any reviews on Sennheiser so i got this one. no regrets about that, but still curious about Sennheiser though. UPDATE: i'm changing my review to 4 stars because when i tried recording with this mic i get intermittent clicks. i'm not sure why. this is not a recording mic however, and i don't have any problems using it as intended but sometimes i'm too lazy to plug in my recording mic when i need to record something and i get these strange clicks ... which i have never experienced when using my recording mic ( AKG C 414 ). i still think it's a great microphone for its intended purpose ( conferencing and such ) but for whatever reason as a recording mic it doesn't really work. ... show more

    • quality mic at an affordable price
Size: 18" Gooseneck Style: Cardioid Pattern Name: Standard
This is the second mic of this model we have purchased and placed in our church. They are great for the podium. It comes with various mounting options. Be aware that this will require a phantom power supply if your mixer amp does not have that feature built in. That is a minimal cost, along with a second patch cord that will also be required. The first mic has been in place about 8 years and has performed flawlessly. When looking for a second mic I was very happy to see they still have this model available. ... show more
