MODEL A96F LINE MATCHING TRANSFORMER
This transformer connects microphones with an XLR-type connector to the 3.5 mm (1/8 in.)
inputs found on camcorders and other recording devices. It increases the signal level from the
microphone, provides a balanced input, and prevents distortion due to the d.c. bias typically
found in camcorder microphone inputs.
IMPEDANCE SELECTION
The A96F can be modified for microphones rated at 150 This modification is o nly
necessary if the output level from the A96F is insufficient for your recording device. Use the
following steps:
1. Access the wiring in the XLR plug element of the A96F by loosening the
screw and sliding the plug from the case.
2. Unsolder the RED lead from pin 2. Insulate the bare wire at the end of the
lead with the insulator from the YELLOW lead.
3. Solder the YELLOW lead to pin 2.
4. Rotate the plug element three turns to twist the leads and replace the ele-
ment in the housing. Replace the screw.

WIRING DIAGRAM
1. Unscrew the housing from the miniature plug on the A96F to expose the
wires inside the connector.
2. Use wire clippers to cut and remove the wire between the tip and ring
leads (see figure below). Make sure to remove the wire completely
from between the leads so that there is no contact between the tip and
ring.
3. Reassemble the plug.
If the microphone still does not work, contact Shure Application Engineering at 1-800-
516-2525. Please have the camcorder user's guide available.
