When the VP88 is set for stereo mode operation (H, M, or L), the left and right signals should remain fully separated and kept at equal levels to maintain a balanced stereo effect. -
Page 4: Power
Phantom Power The VP88 can operate on an internal 6V battery or phantom power from any microphone mixer or console providing 9 to 52 Vdc, or by a phantom power supply such as the Shure PS1A. Each balanced audio cable pair (pins 2 and 3: Mid/Left; pins 4 and 5: Side/Right) carries the supply current to the microphone, and the cable shield (pin 1) is the ground re-... -

Channel 1 input and the right (R) splitter connector to the Channel 2 input of the mixer or console. Set the Channel 1 pan pot to full left and the Channel 2 pan pot to full right. Use the Shure C110 Extension Cable (available as an accessory) for extended cable runs between the VP88 and a mixer or console. Using an Additional Microphone A second (mono) microphone can be used for interviewing or close miking. -
Page 6: Output Mode
Stereo Output Mode In Stereo Mode, the VP88 uses its internal matrix to mix the Mid and Side signals and provide Left and Right stereo outputs. The three settings (H, M, and L), determine the strength or width of the stereo effect, as described below. Nominal Left and Right pickup patterns are shown in the following series. -
Page 7: External Matrixes
Medium Stereo (M) High Stereo (H) MS Output Mode External Matrixes When using an external stereo matrix, such as a matrix transformer or active matrix circuitry, set the VP88 to MS mode. The Mid and Side outputs can be processed through a sum-and-difference matrix to produce Left and Right stereo signals as fol- lows: Left = Mid + Side Right = Mid - Side An 1:1 ratio of Mid to Side produces stereo signals identical to those obtained with Stereo Output switch set to High (H).
