GENERAL
The Model 565 UNISPHERE@ I is a dual-impedance
unidirectional dynamic microphone with a strong, builtin wire-mesh spherical front that contains a very
effective filter designed to provide excellent protection
from wind and "pop" (explosive breath sounds). The
unit provides wide range reproduction of music and
voice
-
can be effectively used outdoors and indoors.

and effective unidirectional pickup pattern
a 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.

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

The Model 565 is dual impedance for connection
to microphone inputs rated at 19 to 300 ohms or to
high-impedance microphone inputs.
Either high- or low-impedance operation is selected
by the leads chosen for connection at the equipment
end of the microphone cable. For high impedance, the
RED
lead is the "hot" conductor; the shield is connected to the amplifier or chassis ground. For low
impedance, the BLACK and WHITE leads are the "hot"
conductors; the shield is connected to the amplifier
or chassis ground.
The low-impedance connection 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. For use with
impedance amplifiers, the Shure Model A95 Series
Line Matching Transformers are available for coupling
a low-impedance line to the amplifier input. The Model
A95 Series transformers permit coupling a 19 to 300
ohm microphone line to a high-impedance input.
To test two microphones 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 directly between them if they
are in phase with each other. If the sound drops dras-
tically, or if a dead spot is found when talking between

the two microphones, the microphones are out of
phase. All 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 microphone cable, interchange the BLACK and WHITE cable
leads where they are connected to the sound system.
To change the phase in the 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 qualified
service personnel.
