The Shure MX412/S is an excellent microphone! I have the microphone mounted on a podium using the shock mount and setup for speakers / preachers in the pulpit. This condenser microphone looks great and works perfectly with our P/A system. It allows for good volume without overwhelming the audience and it provides crystal clear voice sound. We are extremely pleased with this microphone!
now to the mic itself - i compared this to my Shure Beta 87A mic and my AKG C414 mic. compared to 87A ( stage vocal mic ) this one is much more sensitive and has much better bass and crisper top. compared to C414 ( studio recording mic ) it has approximately equal voicing and sensitivity, but is not as detailed - not even close. with the 418 when you speak into it it sounds good, but if you try to record room background noise its all a mush - while with the C414 if you record background noise you can make out all the individual noises separately - this means that this mic does not have a lot of dynamic range - limited by self noise.
never the less for what it is it works perfectly. the speech it records is very crisp - it just doesn't have that depth or airiness that a large diaphragm recording mic like C414 has - but for teleconferencing that doesn't matter.
when you first plug it in it makes horrible noises but those go away after a few minutes - apparently it needs to charge up a few capacitors first. so have a little patience there.
the build quality is SUPERB. the cord is very long ( didn't measure it but looks about 12 feet ) and the packaging was ridiculously huge - and im not talking about amazon packaging - im talking about the shure box - it's about a cubic foot and 2 feet long. no assembly required - it simply ships in a huge box.
great product overall and i love it. i wish i could have compared it to Sennheiser offering as Sennheiser is probably excellent as well, but i could not find any reviews on Sennheiser so i got this one. no regrets about that, but still curious about Sennheiser though.
UPDATE: i'm changing my review to 4 stars because when i tried recording with this mic i get intermittent clicks. i'm not sure why. this is not a recording mic however, and i don't have any problems using it as intended but sometimes i'm too lazy to plug in my recording mic when i need to record something and i get these strange clicks ... which i have never experienced when using my recording mic ( AKG C 414 ). i still think it's a great microphone for its intended purpose ( conferencing and such ) but for whatever reason as a recording mic it doesn't really work.

This Shure mic advertises itself as being good in places with cell phone interference problems, so we got it.
It's perfect! Not only does it work reliably, the pickup pattern is way better. We couldn't be more pleased.
