Shure MX202BP/S Microflex Overhead Supercardioid Microphone

The Shure MX202BP/S is an overhead microphone created for situations where voices or instruments must be captured with focus while remaining visually discreet. As part of the Microflex series, it delivers sound quality that mixers and installers trust, yet it stays almost invisible to the audience.

Its supercardioid pickup pattern concentrates on the ensemble or speaker directly beneath it and minimizes ambient noise coming from the sides. Choir risers, theaters, classrooms, and conference tables all gain from this tighter pattern because the signal that reaches the console is clear and requires less corrective processing.

The capsule attaches to a four-inch gooseneck that holds its aim without sagging. Once the microphone is positioned, it stays put, allowing directors and engineers to focus on the performance rather than constant adjustments. When a different tonal character is desired, an optional interchangeable cartridge can be swapped in, so the rig adapts without replacing the entire fixture.

The output is balanced and transformerless, which means long cable runs stay quiet and resist radio frequency interference even in venues crowded with wireless systems and lighting dimmers. A screw-terminal connector on the inline preamp provides a secure, service-friendly termination that contractors appreciate during permanent installations.

With finishes available in black or white, the MX202BP/S blends naturally with ceiling grids, truss work, or architectural elements. Worship leaders, choir directors, educators, and corporate AV teams all benefit from reliable, natural sound that the audience notices only when it is absent.
