Models 515BSLG24F & 515BSLG27F User Guide

UNIDIRECTIONAL MICROPHONE

The Shure Models 515BSLG24F and 515BSLG27F are dynamic (moving coil), low-impedance, cardioid (unidirectional) microphones, each threaded on a black gooseneck with a black mounting flange. These models are especially suitable for use in communications, paging, and talkback systems. The cardioid pickup pattern provides excellent voice reproduction with effective rejection of feedback and background noise. The slide switch sets the microphone's audio and relay circuit on or off, and the integral gooseneck permits hands-free operation. The attached four conductor cable (two conductors shielded) extends 1.2m (4 ft.) from the mounting flange and terminates in a female 4-pin XLR connector.

FEATURES

•Rolled-off low-frequency response combined with a smooth high-frequency rise for clear and intelligible voice pickup

•Symmetrical cardioid pickup pattern minimizes feedback

•Shock-mounted cartridge for quiet operation and low stand/handling noise

•Neodymium magnet for high signal-to-noise ratio

•Heavy-duty zinc, die-cast, locking, metal grille protects cartridge and resists wear

•Built-in slide switch controls both microphone circuit and relay or control circuit

•Backed by the Shure 2-year warranty
