Ready for permanent ceiling installation, the white MX202WP-A/S Microflex Overhead Supercardioid Microphone with Plate Mount and Screw Terminals Connector from Shure is designed to capture high-quality audio in a compact, adjustable package for applications such as miking a choir, distance learning in a classroom, and for live stage and theater environments with performance groups.

The MX202WP-A/S overhead uses a modular design with interchangeable mic cartridges; this model features a supercardioid capsule attached to a flexible 4" gooseneck and a 30' cable. The supercardioid pickup pattern helps to focus audio capture on the sound source directly in front of the capsule, reducing bleed from other sources and helping to keep feedback under control when sound reinforcement equipment is used. All of the mic capsules offer a wide dynamic range and a 50 Hz to 17 kHz frequency response. Other features include a balanced, transformerless output for increased immunity to noise and RF interference.

Q: 1. What is the difference? between this and MKH 8050?

Q: 2. Are there any panels that can be purchased to close up the side panels that run down the depth of the pull-out rack ? Would be interested in closing up some or all of that portion that is open on the dimension that is 13 deep. Inquiry partially due to aesthetic preference

A: Unfortunately we do not carry a panel that would accommodate the sides of the inner rack.

Q: 3. Will this mic survive water being splashed on it?

A: Shure does not rate the MX395 Microflex Low-Profile Boundary Microphone models for water resistance. This will probably withstand one or two accidents or water spills, but I would not recommend installing it in an environment where that will happen frequently. If the microphone does get wet, it would be best to wipe it dry as soon as possible. Repeated exposure to spills or splashes will damage the microphone. For conference rooms where water spills are more likely, using a hanging mic like this suspended over the table could be less likely to suffer damage from accidents: https://bhpho.to/2xVQp7s
