Shure Centraverse CVG Gooseneck Microphone with Integrated Desktop Base - Black, Cardioid Condenser Mic with 18-inch Neck and Inline Preamplifier, Includes Windscreen & Mounting Flange (CVG18D-B/C)

Just received ours for a new podium microphone and it’s a bit bigger than anticipated. Total length from the tip of the mic to the back of the base is 2’. The gooseneck itself is 18”, but 12” of it is rigid, leaving the top and bottom 3” flexible. Each flexible part can bend to approximately 75 degrees, so any way to flex into an s-shape would be impossible. The fixed base does have a non-skid pad underneath and can be mounted on the mic side by two small holes where your screw-heads could slide in to. Base is approximately 6 1/2” by 4 1/2” at the widest part. The microphone itself has exceptional quality and clarity, and it has a 12’ XLR (3-pin) cable. This does require phantom power, although most modern mixing boards and/or amps come with some sort of phantom on board. You should know before you buy whether or not your setup has phantom power available. Although it may be ideal for many situations, we found this mic to be too big and not flexible enough to fit our needs. Hope this review helps you determine whether or not it fits yours.

We had an older version of this mic, and the quality is the same, but the stand is no longer detachable. This is good or bad depending on your use case. Previously, we were able to detach the mic when not in use, but this also contributed to the mic being a bit loose in the stand. Now this mic and stand will only stay in place if you glue it down, so it better be the dedicated mic in your use case.

The mic works great

Excellent sound quality! Great price.

Excelente adquisición. Se está usando en una Capilla y no da ningún problema, excelente audio.

This microphone will replace old microphones that no longer work. This is the first time the parish is using a Shure product, and they are investing properly.

Recommend this product 100%.

This mic sounds amazing. Have been using it for a podium mic at a weekly gathering of about 200. It has a clear sound. Is easy to adjust for different speakers. Has great headroom. Doesn’t feedback too easily.

This mic is great, sensitive enough for speaker, rejecting sound from back means less feedback issues

Compre este producto lo conecte y no sirve nada el instructivo no coincide con la caja todo está mal cuidado

The product that was delivered to us was faulty. We tried to use the product but its not working even after consulting a technical expert. The technical expert declared that the product sold to us was faulty.. Requesting a feedback from the customer service at the earliest.

you can't go wrong with this for the price. extremely good for video conferencing, and good enough for voice over work. if you already have an audio interface, it's a no brainer.
