Your new Shure Close-Talking Microphone is probably dif-
ferent from any other microphone you have ever used. Unlike
most uni- and omnidirectional microphones, the PE52 is de-
signed for extremely close operation at
%
to 2% cm
( %
to
1 in.) from the performer under conditions of very high sound
levels. When properly used, the microphone will provide high-
quality vocal sound while canceling distant sounds such as
high-power musical instruments, stage monitor speakers, en-
thusiastic audiences, or other background noise. The result is
clear, distinct vocal reproduction with minimal pickup of
instruments, monitors or audience, even when the performer
cannot hear himself!
Also, because the microphone is inherently directional and
discriminates against unwanted sounds arriving from a distance
in favor of sounds arriving from a near source, it helps con-
trol acoustic feedback (that very annoying loudspeaker screech
3r howl). In addition, the microphone has two special filters
which provide protection against wind, blast and "pop" (ex-
plosive breath sounds). This means that despite the micro-
phone's close working distance, these noises have virtually no
effect on microphone performance.

Shure Microphone most effectively.)
