Page 4: Performance Characteristics
Acoustic environments and microphone placements strongly affect the sound obtained from miking a source, especially with a high-resolution microphone like the KSM44A. You may need to experiment with placement, room treatments, and polar pattern to achieve the best overall sound for each application. -
Page 5: Operation
Most modern mixers provide phantom power. You must use a balanced microphone cable: XLR-to- XLR or XLR-to-TRS. Positioning Position the front of the microphone, with SHURE®, towards the desired sound source. Position the rear of the microphone, with the vintage circle S logo, towards any unwanted sound sources. -
Page 6: Setting Attenuation
Maximum SPL capability, output clipping level, and dynamic range vary with the input load impedance of the preamplifier to which you connect the microphone. Shure recommends a minimum input load impedance of 1000 Ω. Most modern microphone preamplifiers meet this requirement. Higher impedance results in better performance for these specifications. -
