CONTROLLED MAGNETICB BASE STATION CITIZENS BAND MICROPHONE
GENERAL
The Shure Model CB41 LONG RANGER base Station microphone is designed especially for use with
Citizens Band transceivers. For clearer transmission
and improved reliability, this sturdy dual-impedance
microphone can be used to replace ceramic or dy-
namic microphones supplied as original equipment.
Model CB41 provides crisp, undistorted voice response of high intelligibility and high output. Easy
impedance selection at the end of the coiled cable
makes the microphone suitable for connection to either
high-impedance or low-impedance (ceramic or dynamic) inputs.
Height adjustment for maximum user comfort, a
momentary or locking press-to-talk transmit-receive
switch for greatest ease of use, and a selector switch
for either grounded or isolated transceiver switching
(no internal microphone wiring change required) make
the Model
CB41 the choice for unparalleled versatility.
The microphone is not affected by heat or humidity.
Its exclusive
ARMO-DUR@ case is immune to oil,
grease, fumes, salt spray, sun, rust, and
corrosionand is outstanding in its ability to resist mechanical
shocks and vibration. The "Million-Cycle" leaf-type
switch is designed to withstand rigorous operating
conditions and constant use.

Refer to the Shure CB Wiring Guide enclosed with
the microphone for detailed instructions for connecting the CB41
to your transceiver. If your unit is not
listed in the Guide, contact your dealer or Shure
Brothers Incorporated for information. This microphone
is not designed for use with transceivers requiring
five-conductor shielded cable. Passage of the CB41
cable through small-diameter connectors may be
eased by lubricating the outer jacket of the cable.
The general wiring procedure for transceiver con-
nections is as follows.
Relay or Switching Circuit:
GROUNDED SWITCHING
Most transceivers employ
a
grounded circuit to
switch from the receive to the transmit position. To
connect the microphone to such a circuit, proceed as
follows.
1. Turn the microphone upside down and check
that the Grounded-Isolated switch in the base-
plate is in the Grounded position.
2.
Connect the RED lead to the terminal used to
complete the transmitter circuit.
3.
Connect the BLACK lead to the terminal used
to complete the receiver circuit. This will usually
be a ground return from the loudspeaker. If a
microphone switching contact is not required for
the loudspeaker ground, insulate (wrap with tape)
the BLACK cable lead.
4.
Connect the shield to chassis or circuit ground
of the transceiver (see Guide).
ISOLATED SWITCHING
In some transceivers, an isolated circuit is required
to switch power supply voltages rather than grounds.
If an isolated switching circuit is required, proceed as
follows.
1. Turn the microphone upside down and check
that the Grounded-Isolated switch in the base-
plate is in the Isolated position.
2.
Connect the RED lead to the isolated switch con-
tact terminal used to complete the transmitter
circuit.
3.
Connect the BLACK lead to the other isolated
switch contact terminal used for power supply
voltage.

4. Connect the shield to chassis or circuit ground
of the transceiver (see Guide).
CAUTION
Make certain that the shield is not connected to
chassis ground for those models where the Guide
specifies the shield should be connected to circuit
ground.
Microphone Audio Input Circuit:
LOW IMPEDANCE
Connect the WHITE cable lead to the low-impedance
microphone audio input terminal. Insulate (wrap with
tape) the GREEN lead.
HIGH IMPEDANCE (ceramic microphone replace-
ment)
Connect the GREEN cable lead to the
high-impedance microphone audio input terminal. Insulate (wrap
with tape) the WHITE lead.
NOTE
The high-impedance connection will generally be
used when replacing a ceramic microphone supplied
with original equipment. If you do not know whether
your transceiver requires a high-impedance or a
lowimpedance microphone, follow the wiring instructions
for the low-impedance connection. Check whether
there is sufficient output from your transceiver. If the
modulation output is too low, reconnect the micro-
phone for high impedance.
OPERATION
Model CB41 will operate satisfactorily under all ordinary conditions of humidity, heat, and cold. Dropping
the microphone, or other severe mechanical shocks
should be avoided.
