the MX415DUAL includes a flexible top gooseneck section for optimal placement,
and includes all the mounting accessories required for installation into a
lectern or tabletop configuration.
Features
- Wide dynamic range and frequency response for accurate sound reproduction
- Dual 1 cm cardioid Microflex interchangeable cartridges
- Dual 5-foot cables exiting out bottom of mic, terminating in two TQG Connectors
- Two external in-line preamps
- Shock mount provides over 20 dB of isolation from surface vibration noise
- RF filtering with CommShield technology
Interchangeable Cartridges
Microflex microphones use interchangeable cartridges that allow you to choose the polar pattern for different installations.
Windscreen
- Snap into place when fully seated.
- To remove, grip under the wider sides of the foam and gently pull.
- Provides “pop” protection of 30 dB for mesh and 40 dB for foam windscreens.
Installation
Mount the microphone using a flange or shock mount.
Important : The dot on the microphone and TQG connector indicates which
cartridge is connected to which connector. The included RK100PK phantom-
powered preamps converts the TQG connector to an XLR output.
A13HDB Flange:
- Mark and drill 3 starter holes for the screws using the flange as a template.
- Secure the flange to the mounting surface with screws.
- Thread the microphone clip to the flange, then mount the microphone to the clip.
Note : Use the extension tube with the microphone clip and flange if desired.
RPM640 Flange:
- Drill a 22 mm (7/8 in.) diameter hole in the mounting surface.
- Mark and drill 3 starter holes for the screws using the flange as a template.
- Insert the TQG connectors through the mounting flange.
- Slide the retaining ring over the bottom of the gooseneck base until is flush to the bottom of the flange, then press the ring firmly into place.
- Secure the flange to the mounting surface with screws.
A400SM Shock Mount:
- Drill a 44 mm (1-3/4 in.) diameter hole in the mounting surface.
- Mark and drill 3 starter holes for the screws using the shock mount as a template.
- Secure the shock mount to the mounting surface with screws.
- Insert the TQG connectors through the hole, then insert the microphone base.
