HF52
MOBILE VOICE PICKUP SYSTEM
GENERAL
The Shure Model HF52 Mobile Voice Pickup System
is a dynamic unit designed specifically for
free" operation in a variety of mobile applications,
including police, taxicab, and other radio-dispatched
vehicles. When properly installed, the HF52 will provide high-quality communications without the need for
holding the microphone or hand-keying the transmitter.
The HF52 is designed for use only on vehicles with
12-volt negative ground electrical systems.
The HF52 consists of three assemblies: Model
HF52M Microphone, Model HF52A Amplifier, and Model
HF52S Footswitch. The microphone is supplied with a
mounting clip and a mounting bracket, both for use in
attaching the microphone to the vehicle sun visor, and
a cable for connecting to the amplifier. The amplifier,
which has an adjustable gain control for use with a
variety of mobile transmitters, is supplied with two
screws for attachment to the vehicle, and cables for
connection to the transmitter audio input and the vehicle 12 Vdc power. The weatherproofed normally
open, single pole footswitch is supplied with a perma-
nently mounted cable for connection to the transmitter,
and two screws for mounting to the vehicle floor. A kit
of cable clamps, clips and ties is provided to secure
the cables.

5. Connect microphone to amplifier.
On some vehicles, it may be desirable to mount the
microphone on the steering column. When this mounting method is appropriate, secure the mounting
bracket with a strong rubber band passed around the
steering column and hooked to both sides of the microphone clasp on the mounting bracket. The clasp
should be rotated on the bracket so that the micro-
phone faces the vehicle operator. Route and secure
the cable conveniently as described in step 4 above.

Footswitch
Install the HF52S Footswitch as follows:
1. Locate footswitch on floorboard in an area that
will permit easy access when operated by driver's left
foot. For vehicles with automatic transmissions, optimum location is to left and slightly above brake pedal.
2. Drill two holes
(3 in.) apart, and attach footswitch to floorboard using
two pan head screws supplied.
3. Run footswitch cable to area of transmitter audio
input. Secure footswitch cable with cable clamps and

Transmitter Connections
Obtain an input connector for the transmitter to
be used, and wire the amplifier output leads to the
transmitter audio input (shield to ground). Wire the
footswitch (normally open) leads across the transmitter
keying circuit. Note that the footswitch is not directly
connected to the amplifier.
Adjustments
Remove the hole
control (see Figure 7). With a small screwdriver, turn
the amplifier gain control fully counterclockwise. Start
the engine and key the transmitter while sitting in the
driving position and talking at a normal level. Advance
the amplifier gain control until proper transmitter
modulation is obtained. To avoid excessive noise pickup, do not set the gain control higher than necessary
for full voice modulation. Replace the hole plug.

Low- and High-Frequency Rolloff
The normal frequency response of the HF52A Amplifier is shown in curves 4-5 of Figure 6. The
quency rolloff characteristic shown provides optimum
intelligibility under conditions of high background
noise. When background noise is not a problem, the
amount of low-frequency
shown in curves 1-3. The low- and high-frequency
off characteristics of the Amplifier may be changed as
shown in curves 1-3 and 6-8 of the figure by a simple
capacitor substitution as follows.
Remove the Amplifier cover by removing the four
screws securing it to the box. To change the
frequency rolloff, place a 25 Vdc minimum capacitor
across terminals A and

Restricting the high-frequency response may also,
under some conditions, reduce the effect of background noise. To change the high-frequency
solder a capacitor (25 Vdc minimum) of the following
value across printed circuit board terminals G and H
(placing this value in parallel with capacitor C3):

OPERATION
The HF52M Microphone is an omnidirectional unit,
designed for minimum wind and vibration pickup.
When properly installed and adjusted, the HF52 system
(microphone and amplifier) will provide approximately
the same output level at approximately 46 cm (18 in.)
as a "close-talked" communications microphone. The
acoustical elements are designed to optimize performance in the frequency range of 200 to 5,000 Hz. This
results in the substantial reduction of sounds outside
the desired range.
Because the microphone is located at a distance
from the operator, its output is relatively low and requires amplification. The required gain is supplied by
the
HF52A Amplifier. Therefore,
ciently high level and within the microphone frequency
range will be transmitted. This means that the operator
should be as close as possible to the microphone for
maximum voice pickup and minimum noise pickup.
However, it is not necessary for the microphone to be

The operator can help provide good commun~cations
by remembering these factors:
1. Keep vehicle windows closed to minimize out-
side noise while transmitting.
2. Bear in mind that passenger conversation or
other in-vehicle noise (radio, air conditioner, etc.) will
be transmitted.
3. Remember that higher vehicle speeds mean
higher background vehicle noise.
4. As with any communications system, care in
speaking clearly will promote intelligible communication.
