- Zipper pouch included for additional protection during storage or transport
- Legendary Shure quality design and construction for exceptional performance in rigorous environments
Phantom Power
All condenser microphones require phantom power to operate. This microphone performs best with a 48 V DC supply (IEC-61938), but it can operate with lower voltages.
Phantom power is provided by the mixer or audio interface that the microphone is connected to, and requires the use of a balanced microphone cable: XLR-to-XLR or XLR-to-TRS. In most cases, there is a switch or button to activate the phantom power. See the user guide for the mixer or interface for additional information.
NOTE: This microphone is compatible with non-Shure bodypacks that have a TQG connector and supply 5V on pin 2.
Mounting the Microphone
Use the integrated clamp to quickly and securely attach the microphone to horns or other instruments.
- Squeeze the clamp to open it, and attach to an instrument or other object.
- Aim the microphone by rotating the swivel base and bending the gooseneck.
Aiming the Microphone
Position the microphone with the arrow pointed at the sound source.
