This Shure podium mic kit built around the Shure MX412 gooseneck microphone and the Audio‑Technica AT8615 desk stand provides a straightforward, speech‑focused setup suitable for lecterns, conference rooms, worship spaces, and other spoken‑word environments. The Shure MX412 is a 12‑inch electret condenser gooseneck microphone designed specifically for speech pickup, offering a wide 50 Hz–17 kHz frequency response and interchangeable capsules—cardioid, supercardioid, or omnidirectional—so the pickup pattern can be matched to the room and application. Microflex microphones like the MX412 include a balanced, transformerless output for low noise over long cable runs, plus an internal shock mount that provides more than 20 dB of isolation from table vibration and handling noise, along with a snap‑fit windscreen for reducing breath noise. The Audio‑Technica AT8615 serves as the supporting desk stand, a heavy, low‑profile die‑cast base with an XLRF input and XLRM output designed to accept gooseneck microphones with an XLR‑M connector. Its weight and non‑slip pads help minimize the transfer of surface vibration, and its low‑reflectance black finish keeps it visually unobtrusive on a podium or tabletop. Together, the MX412 and AT8615 form a practical, durable, and minimally visible podium microphone system that provides clear speech pickup with simple plug‑and‑go setup.
