Asked by: greg
The abilities of the Shure MX391 Microflex Cardioid Boundary Microphone will likely be stretched when tasked with picking up voice from 6 to 8 feet, especially if some in this scenario are quiet speakers. For the best results in this specific situation, two MX391 would be ideal.

Will 6 of these work in a meeting hall (25 people U table) without feedback?
Asked by: Diego
Feedback is typically caused by sound from speakers bleeding back into a microphone, which creates a feedback loop. The Shure MX391 is an omnidirectional boundary microphone, so it will be particularly susceptible to feedback as there is no axis of rejection. Caution should be used if the microphone is connected to speakers in the same area, and the speakers should be faced away from the microphone to avoid feedback.
