Shure MX395 Microflex Low-Profile Omnidirectional Boundary Microphone (Black)

The Shure MX395B/O is a permanently installed boundary microphone designed for situations where voices need to be heard clearly yet the hardware should stay almost invisible. Once recessed into a table or lectern, the housing shows a footprint of only 1.26 inches across and rises just 0.8 inches above the surface, so camera lines, eye contact, and tabletop space remain unobstructed.

This model uses an omnidirectional capsule working with the boundary effect to pick up speech evenly from every seat around the table. By gathering reflections off the mounting surface, it minimizes room ambience and helps listeners or far end participants focus on the person speaking instead of the room acoustics.

An electret condenser element delivers the sensitivity needed for speech in boardrooms, classrooms, and council chambers. When unexpected bumps or vibration occur, the integrated low-cut filter at 150 Hz with a 6 dB per octave slope trims low-frequency noise before it reaches the mix.

Installation is straightforward. A standard 3-pin XLR carries signal and phantom power; any mixer or DSP that can supply 11 to 52 V will run the microphone. Shure’s CommShield circuitry sits inside the housing to reduce interference from mobile phones and other RF sources, so meetings stay free of buzzing or dropouts.

Whether you are outfitting a video conferencing suite, upgrading a training room, or adding discreet microphones to a lecture hall, the MX395B/O provides clear speech capture without drawing visual attention, allowing participants to focus on the conversation itself.
