Shure MX202 Overview

The white MX202W-A/C Microflex Overhead Cardioid Microphone with Stand Mount Adapter and XLR Connector from Shure is designed to capture high-quality audio in a compact adjustable package for applications such as miking a choir, distance learning in a classroom, and for live stage and theater environments with performance groups.

The MX202W-A/C overhead uses a modular design with interchangeable mic cartridges; this model features a cardioid capsule attached to a flexible 4" gooseneck and a 30' cable. All of the mic capsules offer a wide dynamic range and a 50 Hz to 17 kHz frequency response.

Other features include a balanced, transformerless output for increased immunity to noise and an updated RF Immune TA4F connector (connection to the preamp) now made of metal instead of plastic, which provides additional shielding.

Updated RF Immune TA4F connector features a metallic cover compared to the standard TA4F plastic cover. The metal cover provides additional RF shielding.
Wide dynamic range and frequency response for accurate sound reproduction across the audio spectrum.
Balanced, transformerless output for increased immunity to noise over long cable runs.
Supplied stand-mount adapter for portable applications (in-line preamplifier versions only).
White or black finish that blends unobtrusively with most surroundings.
Preamp options available offer easy installation in ceilings or microphone stands.
When combined with the high-sensitivity cartridge's wide frequency response, these microphones provide accurate sound reproduction with minimum RF interference or electromagnetic hum.

Shure MX202 Reviews

Worked better than expected for a Zoom room.

By Ricardo

I was not hopeful that this mic would be sensitive enough to pick up all the individuals on a conference table that measures about 20' by 10'. I was happy to be wrong because it was the only solution I could come up with to meet my VIP users' demands. I paired it with a Shure USB/XLR adapter for use with Zoom. It picks up even the people who are facing away from it. The Zoom noise algorithm took care of the background noise due to the needed high sensitivity setting. It comes with a white wind screen that is not needed for my application, but it was an appreciated detail. The mic looks very clean hangs about 3' above the table top and is inobtrusive on the far end video.

Great microphone for school use.

We have several of these hung above the floor in a performance area. They are over ten years old and have never had a failure, in spite of accidental bumps and drops.
