CONNECTIONS

The internal wiring, circuitry, and switch connections of the 596T

are shown in Figure 1.

The Shure Model 596T is an amplified, dynamic, hand-held mi­crophone designed for rugged and reliable operation in a variety of
mobile and fixed-station communications applications. The 596T
has an omnidirectional pickup pattern and provides highly intelligi­ble speech communication in police, fire, taxi, bus, utility, forestry,
transportation, industrial, radio-telephone, amateur radio and sim­ilar applications. In addition to a clear, crisp, natural voice re­sponse, the 596T offers extremely low sensitivity to hum pickup.

The unit fits naturally and comfortably in the hand and is not
affected by heat or humidity. The exclusive ARMO-DUR

immune to oil, grease, fumes, salt spray, sun, rust and corrosion­and is outstanding in its ability to withstand mechanical shocks and
vibration.

Features

• Built-in transistor amplifier (fed by dynamic microphone)

• Frequency response from 300 to 5,000 Hz, tailored for voice

communications use

• Low sensitivity to hum pickup

â

• High-impact ARMO-DUR

case is lighter and stronger than

die-cast metal, comfortable to the touch in hot or cold weather

• Rugged and dependable under all operating conditions–Long-life

Neoprene-jacketed coil cord

• Silver-plated switch contacts for long-term low contact resistance

and reliable performance
