Shure MX418D/S

Overview

The Shure MX418D/S is an 18-inch desk-top gooseneck microphone designed to deliver clear and precise audio for podiums, conference rooms, and desktop applications. It features a supercardioid polar pattern that focuses on the speaker’s voice while reducing background noise, making it well suited for presentations, meetings, and broadcasts. With a frequency response from 50 Hz to 17 kHz, it captures a wide range of sound frequencies to preserve natural voice tones.

Key features

• Supercardioid polar pattern that isolates the speaker’s voice and minimizes ambient noise for clearer audio capture
• Interchangeable cartridges allowing quick switching between supercardioid, cardioid, and omnidirectional patterns to adapt to different environments
• Shock mount that reduces surface vibration noise by over 20 dB, preventing desk bumps and handling noise from affecting sound quality
• Balanced, transformerless XLR output providing a clean signal with minimal interference for professional audio setups
• Built-in RF filtering and high sensitivity to maintain clear sound even in environments with potential radio frequency interference
• Programmable switch offering customizable control over microphone functions to suit specific user needs
• 18-inch flexible gooseneck design enabling precise positioning for optimal voice pickup

Key specs

• Polar pattern: Supercardioid (interchangeable with cardioid and omnidirectional)
• Frequency response: 50 Hz to 17 kHz

Connectivity and compatibility

The microphone connects via a balanced XLR output, which is standard for professional audio equipment and ensures compatibility with most mixing consoles, audio interfaces, and PA systems. It requires phantom power, which is commonly supplied by professional audio gear, to operate properly. This makes it a reliable choice for integration into existing conference room or broadcast audio setups.

Ideal uses and environments

This microphone is a strong choice for professionals who need dependable voice clarity in conference rooms, lecture halls, and broadcast studios. Its ability to switch polar patterns makes it versatile for different speaking scenarios, whether isolating a single speaker or capturing multiple voices. The shock mount and RF filtering features help maintain audio quality in environments prone to vibrations and interference, making it well suited for live sound reinforcement and recording applications.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
