Shure CVG18DS-B/C 18" Centraverse Gooseneck Condenser Microphone with Desktop Base, Mute Switch & LED

The Shure CVG18DS-B/C is an 18-inch Centraverse gooseneck condenser microphone built for installed conferencing and sound reinforcement applications. It delivers a cardioid polar pattern tuned specifically for speech intelligibility, pairs with an integrated desktop base, and adds a dedicated mute switch with LED status indicator — setting it apart from the base CVG18D model for environments where presenter control matters.

For AV integrators and facilities managers sourcing the best gooseneck microphone for conference rooms, boardrooms, or lecture halls, the CVG18DS-B/C delivers in demanding daily-use environments. Its 18-inch dual-section gooseneck reaches comfortably across podiums and wide conference tables while staying low-profile enough not to obstruct sightlines. The on-board mute switch gives presenters instant, independent control without reaching for a separate mixer — a critical feature for houses of worship, government chambers, and corporate installations where clean program audio is non-negotiable.

Every Centraverse microphone in the CVG line ships with Shure's CommShield® Technology, which actively guards against RF interference from smartphones, tablets, and nearby radio transmitters — a real-world concern in dense wireless environments. The electret condenser capsule operates on standard phantom power (11–52V) and terminates in a plug-and-play XLR connection via the integrated 12-foot cable, enabling straightforward integration into any professional mixer or digital audio workstation without additional adapters or preamp hardware.

Key Features of the Shure CVG18DS Centraverse Gooseneck Microphone

• Mute Switch with LED Indicator: Enables presenters to instantly silence the microphone mid-session without touching the mixer — the LED confirms active/muted status at a glance, reducing on-air errors in live reinforcement settings.
• CommShield® RF Filtering Technology: Eliminates interference from smartphones, wireless devices, and nearby radio transmitters, delivering clean signal in technology-dense meeting environments.
• Speech-Optimized Cardioid Polar Pattern: Focuses pickup directly in front of the speaker while rejecting ambient room noise and feedback from loudspeakers, maximizing intelligibility across the 70–16,000 Hz speech range.
• Dual-Section 18" Gooseneck: Two independent flexible sections allow precise positioning and full articulation across a wide adjustment range — ideal for podiums, conference tables, and fixed-installation altars or lecterns.
• Integrated Desktop Base with Inline Preamp: The all-in-one form factor eliminates the need for separate mounting hardware in desktop deployments, and the inline preamp ensures consistent, low-noise signal output through the included XLR cable.
• Plug-and-Play XLR Termination: The integrated 12-foot (3.65 m) cable with XLR output connects directly to any phantom-powered mixer or audio interface, minimizing installation time and complexity.
• Electret Condenser Element: Provides reliable, low-maintenance performance over extended installation lifecycles — well-suited to fixed-venue environments where serviceability must be minimal.
