Offering a more affordable alternative to its Microflex sound contractor series, Shure has released the Centraverse line of installation microphones. Available in gooseneck, boundary, and overhead form factors, Centraverse promises ‘quality, reliable audio and a streamlined feature set’.

‘Budget-conscious customers requiring installed and portable applications for basic sound reinforcement, such as vocal amplification, will immediately benefit from our Centraverse line, as the product line combines best-in-class performance with simplicity and affordability,’ says Chad Wiggins, Category Director for Wired Microphones at Shure. ‘To ensure the mics are well-suited for their intended environments, we also focused on the aesthetics, designing the products with a modern and industrial style that still offers Shure’s sound quality, reliability, and functionality.’

The Centraverse CVG12 and CVG18 gooseneck models are electret condenser microphones for use in general installed sound reinforcement applications. Designed with dual gooseneck sections for full articulation and positioning options, the CVG12/18 appications include podium mounting and desktops. Also available is the Centraverse CVD Desktop Base, compatible with all Centraverse 12-inch and 18- inch gooseneck microphones.

The Centraverse CVB Boundary Condenser Microphones are designed for use in desktop-installed sound reinforcement applications. The Centraverse CVO Hanging Condenser Microphones, meanwhile, are designed for overhead sound reinforcement applications. The integrated wire aiming hanger enables optimal placement above choirs and other ensembles.

All microphones in the line feature Commshield interference immunity, which guards against RF interference from portable wireless devices, offering high resistance to intense nearby radio signals.
