• The compact, low-profile microphone is designed to be surface-mounted on conference tables, stage floors, and lecterns.
• The sleek, unobtrusive form factor stays out of the way of panelists and presenters, making it a smart solution for video conferencing.
• The MX391 doesn't offer mute switches, so speakers can't mute themselves—the mic is always ready to capture every moment in a panel discussion or presentation.

• The condenser microphone is optimized for crisp, clear speech.
• The mic's omnidirectional pickup pattern captures sound from all around the mic, allowing more than one person to use a single microphone.
• An interchangeable mic capsule design allows you to swap out the omnidirectional capsule for a cardioid capsule (if you need a narrower pickup pattern) or a supercardioid capsule (for a very narrow pickup pattern).

• Included is an inline preamp with a standard 3-pin XLR output ready to plug into a PA system, mixer, or recorder capable of supplying 12 to 48V phantom power needed to power the mic.
• The preamp offers a high level of RF filtering, making the mic substantially less susceptible to unwanted radio interference.
