Built to withstand the rigors of busy conference rooms, classrooms, and boardrooms, this microphone delivers dependable performance in both small huddle spaces and larger meeting environments. Its boundary design minimizes room reflections and enhances intelligibility, while the rugged metal housing and quiet electronics ensure long-term reliability. With advanced features like programmable silent membrane switches, integrated LED indicators, and logic inputs/outputs, the MX393 offers deep control and seamless compatibility with room control systems, AV processors, and conferencing platforms. Whether you’re deploying a single mic for a focused discussion or scaling across multiple zones, the MX393 is a versatile, future-ready solution that supports hybrid meetings, clear speech capture, and streamlined collaboration.

• High-fidelity boundary pickup: The MX393 is equipped with an electret condenser element engineered for clean, natural voice reproduction with low self-noise. Its boundary design helps capture speech from across the table while suppressing ambient noise and undesirable room reverberation, delivering intelligible sound to every participant, in person or over a hybrid connection.
• Programmable silent membrane switches: The surface-mounted switches provide discreet control without squeaks or distracting sounds. These programmable membranes can be configured to mute, unmute, or trigger custom room-control commands, enabling seamless operations during meetings without interrupting the speaker or attendees.
• LED indicators for instant status feedback: Integrated LED indicators give real-time visual cues about microphone status, activity, or mute state. This immediate feedback helps presenters and technicians coordinate with other room devices, ensuring a smooth, distraction-free conference experience.
• Logic inputs and outputs for flexible integration: The MX393 features logic I/O that enables straightforward integration with room controllers, AV processors, and automation systems. This makes it easy to synchronize microphone status with cameras, speakers, and control interfaces, helping you build a cohesive, scalable meeting solution.
• Compact, professional design with adaptable placement: The low-profile boundary form sits flush on tabletops, podiums, or conference desks, blending into any environment. Its durable construction supports high-traffic spaces, while its coverage remains consistent across seating layouts, ensuring every speaker is captured with clarity.
