General Description
The Shure P9HW is a wired, two-channel stereo bodypack system designed
to replace loudspeakers used for onstage monitoring. The portable, lightweight
P9HW has several advantages over onstage monitor loudspeakers: it is less
visible, offers improved clarity and control of sound, reduces the chances of
feedback, and reduces stage clutter. It is a versatile system, designed for
use in sound reinforcement applications including public address, live music,
studio recording, broadcast, and theater.

Setup
① Insert batteries
Use the Shure SB900 rechargeable battery pack or two AA batteries.
② Connect the bodypack to an audio source using the supplied Y-
splitter cable
Connect the 5-pin LEMO connector to the bodypack, with the red dot on the
cable aligned with the notch inside the bodypack connector. Route the two
XLR connectors on the cable to the appropriate mixer outputs. See the system
overview diagram for a signal routing example.
Note: the bodypack can connect either directly to the mixer or through a patch
bay on stage.
③ Put on the earphones and connect them to the headphone output
The P9HW is designed to perform best with Shure earphones, but works
with any headphones or in-ear monitors that have a standard 1/8-inch (3.5
mm) stereo plug.
④ Turn the power on
Turn the volume knob clockwise until it clicks to turn on the power.
Caution: do not turn the volume knob all the way up when turning the
power on.
⑤ Slowly increase the volume until it reaches a comfortable level for
listening
To set a maximum volume limit, use the VLIMIT function. See the utilities
section of this guide for more information.
