Shure 565SD product review

General Description

Set Screw
Plug Element
Impedance Selection Connector
PIN 3
The 565SD microphone is a dual-impedance, unidirectional dynamic micro­phone with a strong, wire-mesh, spherical front grille that contains a highly effective wind and "pop" filter.
Shipped connected for low-impedance operation, a 565SD microphone pro­vides excellent vocal or speech reproduction on stages and studios, and is a popular choice for use in public auditoriums, churches, convention halls, and schools.

Impedance Selection

The microphone is shipped connected for low impedance operation. To change to high impedance proceed as follows:
1. Loosen plug element by turning slotted setscrew counterclockwise (turn counterclockwise to lower screw into plug element). Pull plug element from case. Be careful not to stretch or break wires.
2. The low impedance socket of the impedance selection connector is connected to Pin 3 of the plug element. Move the connector to the high­impedance socket (see diagram).
3. Reinsert plug element and tight setscrew (turn clockwise to raise screw).

Polarity

To test two microphones and their cables for common 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 they have common polarity. If the sound level drops drastically, or if a dead spot is found when talking between the two microphones, either the microphones or their cables have

different polarity. All cables and microphones can be tested in this manner to ensure that they have common polarity.
To reverse the polarity of a low-impedance microphone cable, use either a Shure A15PRS Switchable Phase Reverser or interchange the wires connect­ed to pins 2 and 3 of the XLR connector.
