The Shure MX400DP Microflex Desktop Base is a professional wired tabletop microphone base designed for compatible Shure MX405, MX410, and MX415 Microflex miniature gooseneck microphones. Ideal for conference rooms, boardrooms, meeting facilities, and professional AV installations, the MX400DP provides a stable, movable microphone mounting solution with configurable mute functionality and an integrated 20-foot XLR cable.
Unlike permanently mounted microphone bases, the MX400DP allows compatible gooseneck microphones to be positioned on a conference table or desktop without cutting into the furniture. Its low-profile black design provides a professional appearance while offering convenient microphone control for meetings, presentations, and discussions.
Featuring programmable push-to-mute and push-to-talk operation, logic-enabled control, a selectable low-cut filter, and Shure CommShield RF interference protection, the MX400DP is designed for flexible integration into professional conferencing and sound reinforcement systems.
Flexible Desktop Mounting for Shure Microflex Gooseneck Microphones
The Shure MX400DP provides a movable desktop mounting option for compatible Microflex miniature gooseneck microphones.
It supports the MX405, MX410, and MX415 microphone families, allowing installers to select an appropriate gooseneck length and microphone capsule configuration for the application.
The desktop design is especially useful in conference rooms and meeting spaces where permanent tabletop microphone installation is not desirable.
Programmable Mute Button for Meeting Control
The MX400DP features an integrated, configurable mute button that allows the microphone's operation to be tailored to the installation.
Available configurations include:
-
Push-to-Mute: Temporarily mute the microphone while pressing the button
-
Push-to-Talk: Activate the microphone while pressing the button
-
Momentary or Toggle Operation: Configure how the button responds to user input
-
Local Mute or Logic Control: Select the appropriate control method for the system
Internal DIP switches provide configuration options, allowing the desktop base to accommodate different conferencing and AV control requirements.
Logic-Enabled Integration and LED Control
The MX400DP supports logic functions for microphone mute and LED status control, making it suitable for integration with compatible professional conferencing and control equipment.
These capabilities allow system designers to incorporate microphone status and control functions into an appropriately configured AV installation.
Logic functionality requires compatible external equipment and correct wiring and configuration.
Integrated 20-Foot XLR Cable
The MX400DP includes an attached 20-foot (6.1-meter) cable terminated with a 3-pin XLR connector.
The extended cable length provides installation flexibility, allowing the desktop microphone base to be positioned on conference tables or meeting desks while connecting to suitable professional audio equipment.
For installations using logic control, additional conductors are accessible within the cable assembly.
Selectable Low-Cut Filter
A built-in low-cut filter helps reduce unwanted low-frequency noise that can interfere with speech intelligibility.
The filter can be enabled through the internal configuration switches, providing additional flexibility for meeting rooms and conference environments where low-frequency background noise may be present.
Shure CommShield RF Interference Protection
The Shure MX400DP incorporates CommShield Technology, designed to help protect against unwanted radio-frequency interference from nearby wireless devices.
This feature is particularly useful in modern conference rooms, where smartphones and other electronic devices are commonly present.
