Power Requirements

This microphone requires phantom power and performs best with a 48 Vdc supply (IEC-61938). However, it will
operate with slightly decreased headroom and sensitivity with supplies as low as 11 Vdc.
Most modern mixers provide phantom power. You must use a balanced microphone cable: XLR-to-XLR or
XLR-to-TRS.
Selecting Low-Frequency Response
A three-position switch on the back of the microphone lets you adjust the low-frequency response. Use
the low-frequency filter to reduce wind noise, room noise, or proximity effect.
Flat response. Provides the most natural sound in
most applications.
Low frequency cutoff. Provides an 18 dB-per-octave cutoff
at 80 Hz. Helps eliminate floor rumble and low-frequency room
noise from heating and air conditioning systems. This setting
may also be used to compensate for proximity effect or to
reduce low frequencies that make an instrument sound dull or
muddy.
Low frequency rolloff. Provides a 6 dB-per-octave rolloff filter
at 115 Hz. Use this to compensate for proximity effect or to
reduce low frequencies that could make an instrument sound
dull or muddy.
Suspension Mount
Use the supplied ShureLock
a floor or boom stand.
Important: Thread the knurled locking ring securely to the base of the microphone.
Do not overtighten.
