Shure Microflex MX100 Serie Guia Del Usuario

GENERAL
Models MX183, MX184, and MX185 are wired lavalier electret
condenser microphones designed for speech and vocal pickup,
general purpose sound reinforcement, recording, and remote
monitoring applications. They can be clipped to neckties, lapels,
and other articles of clothing. Interchangeable cartridges make it
possible to easily reconfigure microphone coverage as the need
arises.
FEATURES
• Wide dynamic range and frequency response for accurate
sound reproduction across the audio spectrum
• Interchangeable cartridges that provide an optimal choice
for each application
• Rotatable tie-clip that pivots in 90
ment flexibility
• Supplied snap-fit foam windscreen that controls breath
noise and stays on securely
• Balanced, transformerless output for increased immunity
to noise over long cable runs
• Supplied dual tie clip holds two microphones for dual mik-
ing applications
• New RF filtering
MODEL VARIATIONS
MX183 (Omnidirectional): Provides low handling noise.
Pickup angle = 360°.
MX184 (Supercardioid): Provides high rejection of ambient
noise and narrow pickup angle. Use of windscreen highly
recommended. Pickup angle (-3 dB) = 115°.
MX185 (Cardioid): Provides good rejection of ambient noise.
Use of windscreen highly recommended. Pickup angle (-3 dB) =
130°.
GENERAL RULES FOR LAVALIER MICROPHONE USE
1. Attach the lavalier microphone approximately 76 mm to
152 mm (3 to 6 in.) below the neckline for the best sound.
2. Do not cover the microphone with your hand or clothing.
3. Use one of the supplied windscreens to minimize wind and
breath noise.
4. If four or more microphones will be active at any given time,
use of an automatic mixer, such as the Shure SCM810 or
FP410, is recommended.
USING THE TIE CLIP
Insert the top of the microphone through tie clip loop from below
until tie clip loop snaps into place over the lower groove on the
microphone. Refer to Figure 1.

USING THE WINDSCREENS
Snap-fit windscreen: press it down on the microphone until it
clicks into place inside the upper groove on the microphone.
Provides 30 dB of "pop" protection.
NOTE: The snap-fit windscreen can be removed by spreading
the slot in the plastic snap-fit ring.
Foam windscreen: Slip the windscreen over the top of the
microphone so that it covers the side slots. The foam windscreen
provides 5 to 10 dB of "pop" protection.
CHANGING CARTRIDGES
The MX183, MX184,
interchangeable cartridges. To remove the cartridge, unscrew it
from the microphone body, as shown in Figure 2. Install the
replacement cartridge by screwing it onto the microphone body.
ADJUSTING PREAMP GAIN (Figure 3)
The MX100 microphone
preamplifier, allowing the user to specify a 12 dB or 0 dB gain
setting. The preamp ships at the 12 dB setting. To reduce the
signal gain at the MX100 preamplifier by 12 dB, replace the gain
resistors to the 0 dB setting (Table 3A).
RF FILTERING
MX100 Series must be used with RK100PK preamplifier in order
to optimize RF immunity.
