  • Page 56 GETTING STARTED WITH THE PSM600 SYSTEM Thank you for purchasing the PSM600 Personal Stereo Monitor System. The PSM600 is a revolutionary new product family designed to meet the diverse audio monitoring needs of musicians, engineers, and stage performers. This section outlines step-by-step instructions to quickly show you how to connect your PSM system to an audio source while introducing you to some of its features.
  • Page 57 INTRODUCTION Description The Shure PSM600 Personal Stereo Monitor System is a UHF wireless, two-channel stereo, monitor system designed for onstage applications. The PSM has several advantages over onstage loudspeaker monitors: it is less visible, has better sound, allows freedom of movement, and reduces the chances of feedback. It is a versatile system, designed for use in many different sound reinforcement applications: public address, live music, theater, and electronic news gathering (ENG).

  • Page 60 INSTALLATION AND APPLICATIONS The flexible design of the PSM600 Personal Stereo Monitor System makes configuring a monitor mix very simple. In addition, the unique MixMode circuitry enables you to customize your own individual mix in a multiple mix environment. To help you install the PSM600 into your sound system, the tables and diagrams in this section describe three distinct modes of operating or controlling the system.

  • Page 62 LOOP Applications The LOOP OUT L (left) and R (right) outputs allow the signal going through the P6T to be run to other devices. The LOOP feature of the P6T can be used for any number of applications. Shown here are only a few examples of how it can be used. NOTE: The LOOP connectors act as either inputs or outputs.
  • Page 63 Running Multiple PSM Wireless Systems Under MixMode Control A main mono monitor mix can be sent to multiple P6T transmitters, then independent monitor mixes can be sent to the second channel of each. This will allow an entire band to hear the same monitor mix, while giving each individual player a separate mix of their own.
  • Page 64 ACCESSORIES Several additional products have been developed as part of the PSM product family. These products can enhance the operation of your system, and must be purchased separately. PA705 Unidirectional Antenna The PA705 is a unidirectional, remote-mountable, wideband transmit- ting antenna designed to provide wireless coverage in a cardioid pattern. You can use the PA705 to secure a line-of-sight transmission path from the transmitter to the receiver when the actual transmitters are obscured.
