OMNIDIRECTIONAL DYNAMIC MICROPHONES

GENERAL

The Model 533 Series Microphones are dynamic omnidirectional microphones with a spherical front. The units provide wide range reproduction of music and voice, making them ideal for general purpose use in public-address, theater-stage sound systems, and tape recording applications. Rock and other groups will find these microphones particularly desirable. They are also recommended for interview type use where "hand-ability" of the microphone is important.

Microphone Features:

Uniform frequency response from 40 to 11,000 Hz

Built-in wind, breath, and pop filter

Small size and light weight A built-in On-Off switch Versatility - for use on a floor or desk stand

indoors or outdoors Dependability under all operating conditions

The Model 533 Microphones are supplied with an adjustable swivel adapter which permits the microphone to be tilted through zontal. This swivel also allows for "quick-disengage" for use as a hand microphone.

Model

high-impedance microphone inputs.

Model microphone inputs rated at 19 to 300 ohms. The impedance microphone is recommended where long

cable lengths are required or under conditions of severe hum disturbance. The permissible cable length

is practically unlimited, since neither response nor level is appreciably affected. Shure Model A95 Series

Line Matching Transformers are available for use in those cases where a low-impedance microphone line

is desirable but the associated amplifier has a impedance input. These transformers provide a proper impedance match between a 19 to 300 ohm micro-

PHASING

To test two microphones and/or their cables for 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 di-

rectly 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 low-impedance micro-

phone cable, either use a Shure

A15PR Phase Reverser or interchange the BLACK and WHITE cable leads at the equipment end of the cable. To change the phase of a microphone, the microphone cartridge leads must

be interchanged (see Figure 3). This should be per-

formed by your dealer, the Shure Factory Service De-

partment, or other qualified service personnel.
