MX400SE Series microphones are miniature gooseneck-mounted electret condenser microphones designed primarily for speech and vocal pickup. Their high sensitivity and broad frequency range make them suitable for recording, as well as sound reinforcement applications. The MX400SE series can be screwed onto a mic stand or the supplied 5/8 in. 27-threaded flange. They can be easily changed from side exit to bot- tom exit to conceal the cabling. All models include an in-line preamplifier, a 3.66 m (12 ft.) cable. Features

• Wide dynamic range and frequency response for accurate sound reproduction

• Interchangeable cartridges that provide a choice of polar pattern for each application

• Shock mount provides over 20 dB of isolation from surface vibration noise

• Snap-fit foam windscreen

• RF filtering MX400 Series Model Variations 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 MX400SE Interchangeable Cartridges Microflex microphones use interchangeable car- tridges that allow you to choose the polar pattern for different installations.

• Snap into the groove below the cartridge.

• To remove, spread the gap with a screwdriver or thumbnail.

• Provides 30 dB of “pop” protection. PREAMP Preamp Gain If necessary, the preamplifier gain can be reduced by 12 dB. Contact an authorized Shure service center for information. R6 and R4R13 and R16

C11 RFI Filtering Important: Microphones must be used with the RK100PK preamp to optimize RF immunity.4 Microphone Placement

• 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. /C (R185) /S (R184) Permanent Installation Changing from Side Exit to Bottom Exit Do not cut the cable to reroute. This will compro- mise RF immunity. Shock Mount

1. Drill a 44mm(1-3/4 in.) diameter hole in desired

2. Mark and drill starter holes for screws, using

shock mount as a template.

3. Secure shock mount to mounting surface with

4. Thread the supplied adapter onto the

MX400SE microphphone before inserting it into the shock mount. Mount the microphone using one of the following methods. Flange Slip the mounting flange retaining ring over the bottom of the preamplifier and slide it up until it is flush to the bottom of the flange. Then press the ring firmly into place.5 Specifications Furnished Accessories Flange 65B8264 Clamp (MX202B and MX202WP) 80A476 Shock Mount A400SM Snap-fit Foam Windscreen (1 furnished, 4 in replacement kit) RK412WS Optional Accessories Foam Ball Windscreen A99WS Metal Locking Windscreen A412MWS Replacement Parts Omnidirectional Cartridge (Black) R183B Supercardioid Cartridge (Black) R184B Cardioid Cartridge (Black) R185B In-Line Preamplifier (Black) RK100PK CERTIFICATION Eligible to bear CE Marking.
