Shure Centraverse CVB Installed Sound Boundary Microphone - Black, Omnidirectional Condenser Mic, 12-Foot XLR Cable (CVB-B/O)

I almost returned the product and missed out of a very good product. We replaced our pulpit at church and now have a clear one as you can see in the picture. I didn’t want to drill a whole to install the gooseneck one and show some cables. I like how flat this one is and can pick up sounds from any direction (user be aware of open mic 😂). After I installed it, it wouldn’t work. After thinking about returning it, someone came in to tell me to press the « phantom » button on the panel. Immediately, this thing became plug-and-play. The preachers love it as it picks up the sound of their voices from distance and omnidirectional. Additionally, no one can see it from the pews side of the sanctuary.

Using these mics through a sound board to occasionally broadcast a meeting room through Zoom. These mics are able to pick up an 8-foot radius behind and beside the mic when placed on top of the tables; so much more than I expected! We have a 14’ x 36’ seating area that is covered by 6 of these mics; we may have been able to just use 4. Love the capability of these mics.

Works IF you provide phantom power (48V) from the interface or attached recorder. Listing this as installed doesn't quite translate to "must have phantom power" but that is what they mean.

Super

Bought this mic for the Alter Table of my church as an alternative of my Pastor using a headset mic. Both my Pastor and Deacon love it. After a proper volume adjustment, this mic picked up sounds within a wide area regardless of movement which totally out performed the nuisance of wearing any headset. The downside is the cable is thinner than most mic cables and is attached to the mic. I would of preferred a jack in the mic so when the cable goes bad, you merely replace it. However, because of it's quality, price, and performance, I still gave it 5 stars. As a musician who has worked with sound equipment most of his life, I definitely recommend this mic. It Shure holds up to the Shure name!

I bought this to go into an preamp and from there a set of wireless headphones for my mother that is very very hard of hearing. When visiting I was getting tired of screaming for her to hear me. After everything was hooked up and the test began, I totaly impressed. When I first hooked it up I thought something was wrong with the mic, the system or something because I could hear music and I had nothing playing in the room. After about 5 minutes checking things out it finally hit me, it was picking up the music I have playing downstairs and across the room. Without the mic and preamp that music can not be heard. Totally blown away with how well this mic picks sound up not only close by 5' -10' but even at 20' -30' you can still hear things. Great quality!!!!!

Crystal clear sound and picks up everything equally in the room! Used in a 70'X40' room and sound is channeled into mixer console for telecast.

Product maybe OK but not enough written material to help purchaser.
