Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. could this hold up a Shure 55SH Series II without dipping or flopping over?

A: Yes, the On-Stage DS6213 Gooseneck Desktop Microphone Stand can be used to support a Shure 55SH microphone. The Shure 55SH weighs about 1.37 lb. and the stand weighs 2.4 lb. While the stand can support the weight of the mic, I would recommend using a sandbag if you want to add weight onto the base for additional security to keep the stand from moving or tipping if it is accidentally bumped.

Q: 2. Will this work on a standard PA system or does it require a pre-amp?

A: This can connect to a standard XLR mic connection on a mixer. The mixer must provide 48v phantom power to run.

Q: 3. Any idea how to store and transport several of these (we have 12)? I can't find any case made specifically for gooseneck microphones, at this point thinking of just buying multiple large hardshell cases and cutting out foam to somewhat fit them, not ideal or cheap but can't think of any other solution.

A: I don't really know. Ours came in a slim box and the mic was wrapped in bubble wraps.

Q: 4. Is the base threaded?

A: No

Q: 5. what country is this microphone made in?

A: This microphone is manufactured at Shure's factory in Mexico.

Q: 6. Is the base threaded?

A: It is and will attach to any standard mic stand.

Q: 7. What is the diameter of bottom part of shock mount? In other words, what size hole should I drill?

A: Per the instructions booklet for the shock mount, 1. Drill a 44mm (1-3/4 in.) hole in desired mounting surface. 2. Mark and drill starter holes for screws, using shock mount as a template. We have the shock mount installed in a podium now, so I can't physically verify this dimension, but my memory is the instructions have this correct.

Q: 8. How heavy is the base? Will it stay in place even if the podium is slightly tilted?

A: Not very heavy at all. The overall weight of the entire microphone is less than 18 ounces. The chances of the microphone moving out of place if the podium is tilted is extremely high, unless the MX412DC is fastened or secured with velcro.

Q: 9. we are using shure MX418 microphones {4 mics} and when they work they start to do noise instead of amplify the voice. Is there some Batreys in them that need to be changed?

A: These microphones are not battery operated and are very quiet. They do require: Phantom power: (11 to 52v, DC).Re-check all connections and your cabling.

Q: 10. Can this be mounted without the shock mount onto a regular surface mount XLR Female (like the Neutrik NA3FDM)?

A: Yes, the Shure MX418S 18" Supercardioid Gooseneck Microphone with Preamp should be capable of mounting directly to a sturdy, compatible 3-Pin XLR female connection without the included flange mount.
