Setting Attenuation
·------~~--------------------
The
attenuation
switch
lets
you
reduce
the
signal
level
without altering
the
frequency
response
.
This
can
prevent extremely
loud
sounds
from
overloading
the
microphone
.
0dB
For
"quiet"
to
"normal"
sound
levels.
-lSdB
For
use
with
extremely
loud
sound
sources
such
as
drums,
horns,
or
loud
guitar
cabinets.
Integral Pop Filter
The
microphone
grille consists
of
3 separate
mesh
layers
that
act
as
an
integral
pop
filter.
This
helps
reduce
wind
and
breath
noise.
Depending
on
the
performer,
an
external
pop-protection
screen
or
windscreen
may
be
necessary
when
close-miking vocalists.
Load Impedance
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
1
000
n.
Most
modern
microphone
preamplifiers
meet
this
requirement.
Higher
impedance
results
in
better performance for
these
specifications.
Power Requirements
This
microphone requires
phantom
power
and
performs best
with
a
48
Vdc
supply
(IEC-61938)
.
However,
it will operate
with
slightly decreased
headroom
and
sensitivity
with
supplies
as
low
as
11
Vdc.
Most
modern
mixers
provide
phantom
power.
You
must
use
a balanced
microphone
cable
:
XLR-to-XLR
or
XLR-to-TRS.
