GENERAL
The UNlDYNE
R
III Model 545SD is a dual-impedance, unidirectional, dynamic microphone. Shipped connected for lowimpedance operation, it features a silent magnetic reed on/off
switch.
The UNlDYNE III is a favorite for instrument pickup and recording, and can be used on lecterns for public address systems such as those used in political conventions and legislatures, convention halls, hotels, public auditoriums, stadiums,
schools, and churches.

CONNECTIONS
When using the microphone with a balanced input, pins 2
and 3 are the audio signal carriers. When using the microphone
with an unbalanced input, use a cable wired with pin 2 as the signal carrier and pin 3 connected to the cable shield (ground),
such as the Shure C20HZ high-impedance cable.
IMPEDANCE SELECTION
The microphone is shipped connected for low impedance
operation. To change to high impedance, proceed as follows
(refer to Figure 1):
1. Remove plug element at receptacle end of microphone by
turning slotted setscrew in (counterclockwise) and carefully
withdrawing plug element from case.
2. Disconnect 2–terminal impedance selection socket from
rear of plug element.
3. Reconnect 2–terminal impedance selection socket in re-
verse position so that pin 3 of plug element is inserted in
socket terminal “H” (White).
4. Reassemble plug element into microphone and seal set-
screw securely by turning out (clockwise).

POLARITY
All cables and microphones should be tested to ensure
that they have the same polarity. To test two microphones
and/or their cables for proper polarity , 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 the sound drops drastically, or if a dead spot is found when
talking between the two microphones, either the microphones
or their cables have opposite polarity.
To change the polarity of a microphone cable, either use
a Shure A15PRS phase reverser or interchange the wires connected to pins 2 and 3 of the three-pin connector at one end of
the cable. To change the polarity of a microphone, the microphone cartridge leads must be interchanged. This should be
performed by your dealer, the Shure Factory Service Department, or other qualified service personnel.
