This is a dependable mic for speech that works well in a lectern-mounted XLR jack and could also be used on a stand with a firm mic clip. Depending on your use, the switch and tally light on the "S" version might be very useful or might just add a couple of superfluous inches to the preamp body. The wide availability of interchangeable Microflex electret capsules in omni, cardioid, and supercardioid patterns could be a problem solver in special circumstances. This mic appears to work fine on as little as 12V phantom power. One caution--typical of miniature goosenecks, there's no mechanical isolation between the capsule, neck, and preamp body/connector. This mic is very susceptible to mechanical vibration unless it's plugged into a shock-mounted XLR jack or held by an isolating stand clip like a Shure A53M. Read full review

The key feature on this microphone is get one with the WL-185 cardiod microphone element. The Shure WL-185 cardioid microphone element shows up in a number of Shure microphone models, including lapel style mics, conference style mics, and this MX418 goose neck style podium microphone. The WL-185 microphone element is very natural sounding and can be EQ'd to eliminate feedback problems, while still sounding very natural. Many other podium microphones are thin sounding and are prone to feeding back when gained up sufficiently to pick up well. The pickup pattern of the Shure MX418 microphone with the WL-185 cardioid microphone element is wide enough to pick up the entire podium area with clarity and detail. This is especially helpful when there are a number of different height people using the microphone at the same event. Also helpful with people standing in different proximity to the microphone and have different voice projection capabilities.Read full review
The small diameter of the cord could become a problem if the wire gets stepped on. Otherwise a great deal.

Use the mic in a church setting for speaking and singing. Works great for both applications. Picks up voice from a comfortable distance and delivers as it should with good clarity.

This is a dependable, durable mic that serves professional needs at a reasonable price. Buy the 'S' model which has a mute switch and LED indicator and helps reduce echo or feedback during non-speaking breaks in transmissions.
