Shure ULX2/SM86 User Manual page 2

OPERATION
Power
The SM86 requires phantom power. This may be supplied to the
microphone from an external power supply (such as the Shure
model PS1A) or directly from preamplifiers, mixers, or consoles
with built-in phantom power. Suitable sources should provide 11 to
52 Vdc phantom voltage.
Impedance
A load impedance of at least 600 Ohms is recommended. The
load may be as low as 150 Ohms, but a reduction in output level and
output clipping level will result.

Polarity
Positive pressure on diaphragm produces positive voltage on pin
2 relative to pin 3 of the output connector. See Figure 4.
