OMNIDIRECTIONAL DYNAMIC MICROPHONE

WITH BUILT-IN VOLUME CONTROL

GENERAL

The Model 533SAV Microphone is a dynamic omnidirectional unit with a spherical pop-filter. The microphone provides wide range reproduction of music and voice suitable for general purpose use in address, theater-stage sound systems, and tape recording applications. Vocal and instrumental groups will find this microphone highly desirable because its "pop-proof" design makes it ideal for tion and its Volume Control feature makes it possible to adjust the amplifier output from the microphone position. The view type use where "hand-ability of the microphone is important.

Microphone Features:

Uniform frequency response from 40 to 11,000

Built-in wind, breath, and pop filter

Small size and light weight

Built-in Volume Control, can also be used as an On-Off switch

Versatility-for use in the hand or on a floor or desk stand-indoors or outdoors

Dependability under all operating conditions

The Model slip-in swivel adapter which permits the microphone to be tilted through adapter also allows for "quick-disengage" to use the microphone as a hand-held unit.

The Model tion to a high-impedance microphone input. Shure Model A95 Series Line Matching Transformers are available for use in cases where cable lengths over

7.6 meters (25 feet) are required or where the microphone is to be connected to a low-impedance input. These transformers provide a proper impedance match between a high-impedance microphone line and a low-impedance input and are supplied with various input and output connectors.

The built-in Volume Control on the microphone permits the user to change the loudness of the PA system at the microphone location.

With the Control on the microphone partially turned down (turn the knob counterclockwise so that the dot on the knob is at the 9 o'clock position), the basic overall loudness of the the main volume control at the amplifier then the user can adjust the volume up or down at the microphone position. Maximum volume occurs when the dot on the knob is adjacent to the dot on the microphone (12 o'clock position). In many instances, minimum setting of the Volume Control will reduce volume sufficiently so that the Volume Control can be used as an On-Off switch.

To test two microphones proper phasing, 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 are in phase with each other. If the sound drops drastically, or if a dead spot

is found when talking between the two microphones,

they are out of phase. All cables and microphones should be tested in this manner to insure that they are

in phase with each other.

To change the phase of a microphone, the microphone cartridge leads must be interchanged (see Figure 3). This should be performed by your dealer,

the Shure Factory Service Department, or other quali-

fied service personnel.
