UNIDIRECTIONAL DYNAMIC MICROPHONES

General: T h e Model 588SA, 588SB, and 588SBE Microphones are unidirectional dynamic microphones with a very effective filter that provides excellent protection from wind and "pop" (explosive breath sounds). They feature a natural, life-like reproduction of music and voice, and are ideal for use with good quality sound systems and tape recorders.

These microphones are particulariy suitable for use in theatres, night clubs, auditoriums, schools, churches, indoors or outdoors, and any place where omnidirectional microphones may not operate properly because of feedback problems. These microphones will, in almost every instance, eliminate the annoying loudspeaker "squeal" caused by feedback and can be used closer to loudspeakers than usual, without feedback. This suppression of feedback, combined with their smooth sound, makes these microphones ideal for use with orchestras, small combos, and vocalists.

T h e microphones feature :

A built-in wire-mesh screen with a special filter that provides protection from

wind "pop" (explosive breath sounds). This filter also enables singers and speakers to perform close to the microphone.

A true cardioid pattern: symmetrical about axis and uniform at all frequencies.

T h i s means that		voice and music tonal quality		remain the same, even if the
artist	or speaker	moues about	while performing	or speaking-and that feedback
and	boominess are eliminated		or effectively suppressed.
Cartridge shock		mounted for quiet operation.

A built-in "ON-OFF" switch with provision for locking switch in its "ON" position.

Versatility-for use in the hand or on a stand--indoors or outdoors.

An adjustable swivel adapter that enables you to aim the microphone where you want it. Swivel, also, allows for quick removal for use as a hand microphone.

	T h e Model 588SA is high impedance and may be used with any high gain
amplifier with a n input of 100,000 ohms or				more.
	The Model 588SB and 588SBE		are low impedance and designed for connection
to	a 25 to 200	ohm line or input.	This is	recommended where long cable lengths
are	required or	where there are conditions		of severe hum disturbance. T o use the

Model 588SB or 588SBE with a high impedance amplifier, use a Shure Model A95A or A95P Line Matching Transformer. T h e 588SB has 15 feet of cable, the 588SBE has 30 feet.

Important: Shure Microphone Cables are selected after exhaustive tests to insure superior performance in microphones becausc of low capacities, superior shielding properties and unusually long life under severe use.

Cables with plastic insulation should not be subjected to excessive soldering-iron heat. Carefully clean and tin the conductors and the connections to which the conductors are to be soldered. T h e soldering operation can then be done with a minimum of heat, thereby avoiding any possibility of damage to the cable.

Guarantee: Each microphone is guaranteed to be free from electrical and mechanical defects for a period of one year frcm date of shipment from factory, provided all instructions are complied with fully. I n case of damage, return the microphone to the factory for repairs. O u r guarantee is voided if the microphone is subjected to accident or abuse.
