Shure Microflex Hanging Overhead Mic without Cartridge

The Shure MX202B/N is an overhead hanging microphone body from the Microflex series that captures speech and music with the clarity expected from Shure. It is designed to accept Shure cartridges that use condenser technology and can be interchanged, letting you choose a cardioid, supercardioid, or omnidirectional pickup pattern. Because this version ships without a cartridge, contractors and engineers have the freedom to select the capsule that matches the room acoustics and the type of content.

The housing presents a slim profile with a black finish that blends easily with ceilings, lighting grids, and stage truss. A 30 foot cable provides generous reach from the ceiling to the audio rack, and a miniature gooseneck near the capsule mount lets you direct the microphone precisely at the talker or ensemble. An output that is balanced and transformerless resists noise on long cable runs, and standard 11 to 52 volt phantom power keeps installation straightforward with no external power supplies to manage.

In boardrooms, classrooms, houses of worship, and broadcast studios, the MX202B/N offers clean sound without drawing attention. Integrators appreciate its flexible mounting options and durable Shure construction, while listeners benefit from natural, intelligible audio.
