• Wide dynamic range and frequency response
for accurate sound reproduction
• Interchangeable cartridges that provide a
choice of polar pattern for each application
• White or black finish that blends unobtrusively
with most surroundings
• RF filtering
Model Variations
Microflex MX202 microphones are available in
black or white with a choice of in-line preamplifier
or plate-mount preamplifier.
The polar pattern of the included cartridge is indicated by a model number suffix:
/C Cardioid
/S Supercardioid
/O Omnidirectional
/N Cartridge not included
Interchangeable Cartridges
Microflex microphones use interchangeable cartridges that allow you to choose the polar pattern
for different installations.
Snap-Fit Windscreen
• Snap into the
groove below the
cartridge.
• To remove, spread
the gap with a
screwdriver or
thumbnail.
• Provides 30 dB of
"pop" protection.
Preamp Gain
If necessary, the preamplifier gain
can be reduced by 12 dB. Contact
an authorized Shure service center
for information.
RFI Filtering
Important: Microphones must be used with the
RK100PK preamp to optimize RF immunity.

MX200
Shure Microflex® MX200 Series microphones are
miniature electret condenser microphones designed for miking choirs and performance groups.
They are typically suspended over the heads of
the performers. Their high sensitivity and wide frequency range make them suitable for recording,
as well as sound reinforcement applications. An
attached 101mm (4 in.) gooseneck allows them to
be easily aimed at the sound source.

Microphone Placement
The microphone is most stable when the gooseneck is bent into a "lazy S" shape. Use the supplied hanging clip and heavy thread or monofilament fishing line to suspend the microphone at a
specific location.
• For choir installations, hang a microphone 0.6
to 0.9m (2 to 3 ft.) in front of the first row, and
0.6 to 0.9m (2 to 3 ft.) over the heads of the
singers in the last row. Aim the microphone at
the back row.
• When miking groups that move or vary in size,
use a boom stand and the supplied stand
adapter.
• If four or more microphones will be open at
once, an automatic mixer, such as the Shure
SCM810 or SCM410, is recommended. Set up
the automatic mixer so that all
overhead microphones gate
on simultaneously.
Permanent Installation
Installing the In-Line Preamp
Use the two supplied mounting clamps to hold the
preamp in place on a wall or ceiling.
Ceiling Tile Installation
Remove plate-mount preamp connection.
1. Drill a 1/2 in. hole into the ceiling tile.
CAUTION: To avoid tile damage, use a 1/2 in.
augur bit and drill very slowly.
2. Unplug the mini 4-pin connector from the preamp and feed the cable through the hole.
3. Place the rubber grommet, tip down, over the
cable and position it to suspend the microphone at the appropriate height.
4. Fit the grommet securely into the hole. For 5/8
in. ceiling tile, use the suppled washer.
5. Reconnect the preamp.
Plate Mount Preamp Installation
The plate-mounted preamp allows you to mount
the preamp in an electical box and use conduit to
run cable through ceilings and walls.
1. Remove preamp housing by removing two phillips head screws.
2. Remove knock-out from the hole in the center
of the cover plate (if present).
3. Cut cable to desired hanging length, allowing
for a 76 to 101 mm (3 to 4 in.) service loop.
4. Clamp strain relief around cable and insert
strain relief into hole in plate.
5. Connect cable leads to input terminal block
(B = Black, R = Red, S = Shield).
6. Using professional-quality, two-conductor,
shielded microphone cable, thread output cable
from outside of preamp through hole with black
bushing.
7. Connect cable to output terminal block (Pin
2 = +, Pin 3 = –, Shield = S).
8. Reattach the preamplifier housing.

Note: Yellowing of any plastic material can be
caused from cigarette smoke, ultra violet rays, and
other chemical interactions. Once plastic has yellowed, there typically is no cleaning method that
will restore the whiteness.
