INTERNAL CONNECTIONS
CONNECTIONS
When using the microphone in low impedance, the
cable conductors from connector pins 2 and 3 are the audio
signal carriers. Connect the shield to amplifier or chassis
ground.
When using the microphone in high impedance, the
cable conductor from pin 3 and the shield are the audio sig-
nal carriers. Connect the conductor from pin 3 to the "hot"
amplifier input; connect the shield to amplifier or chassis
ground. An unused lead attached to pin 2 should be insu-
lated before attaching a connector to a two-conductor
shielded bare-ended cable.
To test two microphones and/or their cables for proper
phasing, connect them to an amplifier and talk or sing into
them while holding them three or four inches apart. The
sound from the speakers should be the same when talking
into either microphone or directly between them if they are
in phase with each other. If the sound drops drastically, or if
a dead spot is found when talking between the two micro-
phones, either the microphones or their cables (low imped-
ance only) are out of phase. All cables and microphones
should be tested in this manner to ensure that they are in
phase with each other.
To change the phase of a low-impedance microphone
cable, either use a Shure A15PRS Phase Reverser or inter-

change the wires connected to pins 2 and 3 of the connector.
To change the phase of a microphone, the microphone car-
tridge leads must be interchanged (see Figure 5). This
should be performed by your dealer, the Shure Factory Ser-
vice Department, or other qualified service personnel.
