Shure 565SD - Classic Unisphere Vocal Microphone Manual

General Description

The 565SD microphone is a dual-impedance, unidirectional dynamic microphone with a strong, wire-mesh, spherical front grille that contains a highly effective wind and "pop" filter.
Shipped connected for low-impedance operation, a 565SD microphone provides excellent vocal or speech reproduction on stages and studios, and is a popular choice for use in public auditoriums, churches, convention halls, and schools.

Features

• Selectable dual-impedance operation
• Silent, lockable on/off switch
• Cardioid dynamic
• Frequency response: 50 to 15,000 Hz

Impedance Selection

The microphone is shipped connected for low impedance operation. To change to high impedance proceed as follows:

1. Loosen plug element by turning slotted setscrew counterclockwise (turn counterclockwise to lower screw into plug element). Pull plug element from case. Be careful not to stretch or break wires.
2. The low impedance socket of the impedance selection connector is connected to Pin 3 of the plug element. Move the connector to the highimpedance socket (see diagram).
3. Reinsert plug element and tight setscrew (turn clockwise to raise screw).
   

Polarity

To test two microphones and their cables for common polarity, 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 have common polarity. If the sound level drops drastically, or if a dead spot is found when talking between the two microphones, either the microphones or their cables have different polarity. All cables and microphones can be tested in this manner to ensure that they have common polarity.
To reverse the polarity of a low-impedance microphone cable, use either a Shure A15PRS Switchable Phase Reverser or interchange the wires connected to pins 2 and 3 of the XLR connector.
