The Shure Centraverse CVB is a professional boundary electret condenser microphone for use in desktop installed sound reinforcement applications. Available in cardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns and black or white color options, its low-profile design fits seamlessly within any design aesthetic.
CVB-B/C: Black, Cardioid
CVB-B/O: Black, Omnidirectional
CVB-W/C: White, Cardioid
CVB-W/O: White, Omnidirectional
Note: Model availability depends on region. See your local Shure dealer or distributor for details.
Note: This microphone requires +48V phantom power to operate.
Use the following information to achieve the best results for each model variation.
① Cardioid
The cardioid model captures sound in front of the microphone and rejects off-axis sounds. It is best suited to capture one person or a small group in close proximity to one another.
② Omnidirectional
The omnidirectional model captures sound from all angles. It is ideal for capturing larger groups and sounds coming from multiple directions.

[1] 1 Pa=94 dB SPL
[2] THD of microphone preamplifier when applied input signal level is equivalent to cartridge output at specified SPL
[3] S/N ratio is the difference between 94 dB SPL and equivalent SPL of self-noise, A-weighted
[4] All specifications measured with a 48 V DC phantom power supply. The microphone operates at lower voltages, but with slightly decreased headroom and sensitivity.
