The brown Confidence CX2-8D Dual Omni/Cardioid Headset Mic for Shure Transmittersfrom Confidence CX2-8D Dual Omni/Cardioid Headset Mic for Shure Transmittersis a dual-element microphone with both an omnidirectional mic and a cardioid mic in a single headset with a dual-ear design. The two mics are wired separately but share a single 3.9' cable that is wired to two of Point Source's proprietary X-Connector connections, which allows you to connect to a wide variety of wireless transmitters simply by swapping out X-Connector adapters. A pair of TA4F X-Connectors for Shure wireless transmitters are included.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I want to find a way to run Shure MX412's wirelessly using my existing Sennheiser G3 wireless belt pack transmitter combos. I tried to use Whirlwind 4x Phantom Power blocks but they introduced too much line noise to be useful. Any suggestion?

A: I would consider getting the Sennheiser SKP 300 G3 transmitter which will provide 48 volts of phantom power for your MX412. This way you will not be introducing additional electronics to your audio chain, potentially causing line noise.

Q: 2. how is it powered?

A: The Shure MX412DS requires phantom power which is generally provide by the source through the XLR connection cable.

Q: 3. Can this be used for both recording and also livestream (like for Zoom) if, for example, combined with an audio interface like the Audient EVO 4? We currently use the computer mic for Zoom classes, and we record other content using a Tascam DR-10L (and Nikon D750 for video).

A: Yes, you can use the Shure BLX14/PGA31 wireless mic system for recording and livestreaming. The output from the system's wireless receiver can be connected to your computer using an audio interface or connected directly to a camera or recorder in the same manner that you would when connecting a wired mic.

Q: 4. How heavy is the base? Will it stay in place even if the podium is slightly tilted?

Q: 5. Does the MX412 DS have a mute switch and is it easily operable? If not which desktop model has the mute switch?

Q: 6. Does Shure BRH441M-LC include cable?

Q: 7. Could I buy two receivers, put them in adjacent rooms then switch channels on the transmitter to switch between the receivers?

A: Yes, if you have two Shure BLX4R Rackmount Wireless Receivers tuned to different frequencies, you would be able to connect one Shure BLX1 Wireless Bodypack Transmitter to either receiver alternately.

Q: 8. How does one specify the termination & pinouts?

A: This headset provides a bare-wire pigtail for soldering your own connectors.

Q: 9. can I get this same deal featuring the BLXR and SM58. if so at what cost?

A: You can purchase a Shure BLX2/SM58 Handheld Wireless Microphone Transmitter with the SM58 Capsule to use with the Shure BLX4 Tabletop Wireless Receiver included with the Shure BLX14/PGA31 Wireless Cardioid Headset Microphone System, instead of the Shure BLX1 Wireless Bodypack Transmitter with the Shure PGA31 Headset Microphone.
