PG Alta Microphones
Congratulations on the purchase of a new Shure PG Alta
series microphone. The PG Alta series delivers professional
quality audio at an affordable price, with solutions for
capturing nearly any source, including voice, acoustic
instruments, drums, and amplified electric instruments.
Suitable for live and studio applications, PG Alta microphones
are built to last, and meet the same rigorous quality testing
standards that make all Shure products trustworthy and
reliable.
General Rules for Use
• Do not cover any part of the microphone grille with
your hand, as this will adversely affect microphone
performance.
• Aim the microphone toward the desired sound source
(such as the talker, singer, or instrument) and away from
unwanted sources.
• Place the microphone as close as practical to the desired
sound source.
• Work close to the microphone for extra bass response.
• Use only one microphone to pick up a single sound source.
• For better gain before feedback, use fewer microphones.
• Keep the distance between microphones at least three
times the distance from each microphone to its source
("three to one rule").
• Place microphones as far as possible from reflective
surfaces.
• Add a windscreen when using the microphone outdoors.
• Avoid excessive handling to minimize pickup of mechanical
noise and vibration.

Proximity Effect
Directional microphones progressively boost bass frequencies
as the microphone is placed in closer proximity to the source.
This phenomenon, known as proximity effect, can be used to
create a warmer, more powerful sound.
Avoiding Pickup of Unwanted
Sound Sources
Place the microphone so that unwanted sound sources,
such as monitors and loudspeakers, are directly behind
it. To minimize feedback and ensure optimum rejection of
unwanted sound, always test microphone placement before a
performance.
