Models 545D and 545SD User Guide
MODEL 545D
GENERAL
The UNIDYNE® Ill Models 545D and 545SD are dualimpedance unidirectional, dynamic microphones shipped
connected for low-impedance operation. The microphones
provide wide range reproduction of music and voice and can
be effectively used outdoors and indoors.
The UNIDYNE Ill is ideal for use by professional entertainers in high quality theater-stage sound systems and recording, as well as in critical public address systems such as
those used in political conventions and legislatures, conven-
tion halls, hotels, public auditoriums, stadiums, cathedrals,
and churches.
The UNIDYNE III features an exceptionally uniform
pickup pattern-provides an effective solution to feedback
problems in reverberant locations, permits best utilization of
space in small studios, facilitates orchestral placement, and
provides practically complete exclusion of unwanted noises.
Model 545D is designed for applications where a switch
is not required. Model 545SD is equipped with a magnetic
reed On-Off switch
VARIATIONS
Model 545SD-CN: Supplied with cable (See Specifi-
cations for details on cable.)
Models 545D-LC and 545SD-LC: Supplied without
cable.
MODEL 545SD
Features
Unusually effective cardioid pickup pattern reduces
feedback (annoying loudspeaker “squeals”) and prevents echoing (boominess) that sometimes occurs in
partially filled halls. Can also be used closer to loudspeakers than usual without creating feedback problems
Excellent reproduction of voice and music
Shock mounted cartridge for quiet operation
Quick, neat, solderless impedance selection
Built-in, long-life, magnetic reed ON/OFF switch
(545SD)
Rugged professional three-pin audio connector on the
microphone
Strong,
tive
Versatility-for use in the hand or on a stand-indoors
or outdoors
Available in three versions: without switch or cable
(545D-LC), with switch and cable (545SD-CN), and
with switch but without cab/e (545SD-LC)
detachable cable especially selected
for effec-
shielding from hum pickup (545SD-CN)

Impedance
Dual. Microphone rating impedance is 150 ohms (275
ohms actual) for connection to microphone inputs
rated at 19 to 300 ohms and “High” for connection to
high-impedance microphone inputs.
Wired for low impedance as supplied. To change impedance, see sections on Impedance Selection and
Connections.

Phasing
Positive pressure on diaphragm produces positive
voltage on pin 2 in low impedance and on pin 1 in
high impedance (with respect to pin 3). See Figure 5.

Certifications
Conforms to European Union directives, eligible to
bear CE marking; meets European Union EMC Immu-
nity Requirements (EN 50 082-1, 1992); RF radiated
(IEC 801-3); ESD (IEC 801-2); EFT (IEC 801-4).
IMPEDANCE SELECTION
The microphones are shipped connected for low-
impedance operation. To change to high impedance (see
Figures 4 and 5), proceed as follows:
Remove plug element at receptacle end of microphone
1.
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
reverse position so that pin 3 of plug element is inserted
in socket terminal “H”.
4.
Reassemble plug element into microphone and seal
setscrew securely by turning out (clockwise).
