Shure MX202W-A/C

Overview

The Shure MX202W-A/C is an overhead condenser microphone designed to capture clear and focused audio in environments where sound clarity is critical. Featuring a cardioid capsule with a frequency response from 50 Hz to 17 kHz, it effectively isolates the desired sound source while minimizing background noise. Its 4-inch flexible gooseneck and included stand mount adapter allow precise positioning, making it suitable for classrooms, choir performances, stage presentations, and broadcast setups.

Equipped with a 30-foot attached cable and an in-line preamp, this microphone maintains strong signal quality over longer distances. The transformerless balanced XLR output and metal-shielded TA4F connector help reduce noise and interference, ensuring clean audio even in electronically busy environments.

Connectivity and compatibility

This microphone connects via a transformerless balanced XLR output, which is standard in professional audio equipment, ensuring compatibility with most mixers, audio interfaces, and sound reinforcement systems. The metal-shielded TA4F connector enhances signal integrity by reducing radio frequency interference, making it reliable in environments with multiple electronic devices.

The 30-foot attached cable with an in-line preamp supports longer cable runs without signal degradation, which is especially useful in larger venues or fixed installations where the microphone may be mounted at a distance from the audio console.

Installation and setup

The MX202W-A/C includes a stand mount adapter that simplifies installation on various microphone stands or ceiling mounts. The flexible 4-inch gooseneck allows users to adjust the microphone’s position precisely to capture the best sound source angle. This flexibility makes it easy to adapt to different room layouts and performance setups without requiring additional mounting hardware.

Ideal uses and environments

This microphone is well suited for educational settings, such as classrooms and lecture halls, where clear voice capture is essential. It also fits well in live performance spaces like choirs or theaters, where overhead sound capture with minimal background noise is needed. Broadcast studios and conference rooms can benefit from its noise rejection and flexible mounting options, making it a strong choice for professionals who require consistent, high-quality overhead audio.

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.
