MODEL SM10A
DYNAMIC HEAD-WORN MICROPHONE
The Shure SM10A is a low-impedance, unidirectional
dynamic microphone designed for close-talk head-worn
applications such as remote-site sports broadcasting and
corporate intercom systems. It is also ideal for singing
drummers, keyboard artists, and other performers who need
a head-worn vocal microphone with superior noise rejection
and a smooth, natural-sounding frequency response.
The SM10A is very lightweight and is typically mounted on
the supplied steel headband assembly. An adjustable pivot
on the headband assembly allows the microphone boom to
be moved 20_ in any direction. The boom also slides out so
the microphone can be positioned up to 89 mm (3
from the pivot housing. A supplied windscreen reduces wind
noise and explosive breath sounds. A belt clip that fits over
the XLR connector and attaches to the user's belt or
waistband provides cable strain relief.

MOUNTING THE SM10A ON THE HEADBAND
1. Twist the lower headband arms 90_ so they are perpen-
dicular to the headband. As supplied, the retaining clip
is positioned for left side operation. See Figure 1.
NOTE: For right side usage (see photo), remove the re-
taining clip and attach it to the other (unused) hole in the
headband arm so the screw is at the top.
2. Snap the microphone pivot housing into the retaining
clip with the pivot adjustment knob upward and the mi-
crophone toward the front.
3. Loosen the pivot adjustment knob and position the
boom so that the microphone is near the side of the
user's mouth. Then tighten the pivot adjustment knob.
4. Place the assembled microphone on the user's head
and pull the headband arms downward until they are just
above the ears.
5. Loosen the pivot adjustment knob and position the mi-
crophone as close as possible to the corner of the user's
mouth. Then tighten the adjustment knob.
NOTE: For proper operation, the microphone should be
less than 25 mm (1 in.) from the corner of the mouth––
away from the center of the mouth. This will eliminate ex-
plosive breath sounds ("pop").
6. Snap the belt clip over the groove in the XLR connector
at the end of the microphone wire. Then attach the clip
to the user's belt or waistband.
7. Plug the microphone XLR connector into a microphone
