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 101 mm (4 in.) gooseneck allows
them to be easily aimed at the sound source.
• 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

Shure IncorporatedMX200 Series Overhead Microphones
RFI Filtering
Important: Microphones must be used with the RK100PK and RK202PK
plate-mounted preamp to optimize RF immunity.
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.
