The black MX202BP/N Overhead Microphone, No Cartridge from Shure is a small, unobtrusive microphone with a plate-mounted preamp that is attached to a flexible, 4" gooseneck with a 30' cable. It can be used when paired with interchangeable omnidirectional, cardioid, or supercardioid condenser microphone cartridges (sold separately) to capture high-quality audio in various environments and offers easy installation in ceilings for sound reinforcement performance applications.
The microphone is most stable when the gooseneck is bent into a "lazy S" shape. Use the supplied hanging clip and/or heavy thread or monofilament fishing line to suspend the microphone at a specific location. For choir installations, hang about 2 to 3' in front of the first row and 2 to 3' over the heads of singers in the last row.
