MICROFLEX MX391 SERIES
BOUNDARY MICROPHONES
®
Shure Microflex MX391 Series microphones are small, surface-
mounted electret condenser microphones designed for mounting on
conference tables, stage floors, and lecterns. Their high sensitivity
and wide frequency range make them especially suitable for picking up
speech and vocals in sound reinforcement and recording applications.
FEATURES
• Flat frequency response across the vocal range for uncolored
sound
• Interchangeable cardioid, supercardioid, and omnidirectional
cartridges that provide optimal choice for each application
• Sleek, low-profile design for unobtrusive appearance
• New RF filtering
MODEL VARIATIONS
MX391 and MX391W (white) models have an attached 4 meter (12 ft)
cable terminated with a 4-pin mini connector and a separate preamplifier,
as pictured above in black.
®
Microflex boundary microphones come with one of three inter-
changeable cartridges, as indicated by the model number (found on
the bottom of the microphone base).
MX391/C series. Cardioid pickup pattern for general sound reinforce-
ment applications. Pickup angle (-3 dB) = 130°.
MX391/S series. Supercardioid pickup pattern for sound reinforce-
ment applications requiring narrow or more distant coverage. Pickup
angle (-3 dB) = 115°.
MX391/O series. Omnidirectional pickup pattern for recording or re-
mote monitoring applications. Pickup angle = 360°.

ADJUSTING PREAMP GAIN: MX391 AND MX391W ONLY
(FIGURE 4)
MX391 and MX391W microphones include an adjustable gain pream-
plifier, allowing the user to specify a 12 dB or 0 dB gain setting. The
preamp ships at de 12 dB setting. To reduce the signal gain at the
MX391B and MX391W preamplifier by 12dB, replace the gain resis-
tors to the 0dB setting, (Table 4A).
RF FILTERING
MX391 Series must be used with RK100PK preamplifier in order to op-
timize RF immunity.
Note: Cable shield is NOT connected to pin 1 in the TA4F mini-
connector. If you are connecting this microphone to a plastic
transmitter, please modify the cable to connect the shield to pin 1.
