MODEL M677
ACCESSORY MIXER
I
GENERAL
The Shure Model M677 is a transistorized, six-input
accessory mixer designed for use with such products
as the Shure M67 and M68 Series Microphone Mixers,
SE30 Gated
Compressor/Mixer, and M63 AUDIO
MASTER@. When used with either the M67 or M68, it
provides a low-cost and convenient means of adding
six additional input channels (10 total). When used
with the
SE30, it converts the three-input mixer system
to a nine-input system for applications such as tele-
vision broadcasting. For instance, when used with the
M63, the combination provides a six-channel mixer
with extremely flexible equalization, a 600-ohm line
output, a VU meter, and a headphone monitor.
The M677 is designed to connect to and operate
from the 28-30 Vdc output of the Shure mixer product
with which it will be used, or from the Shure
A67B
Battery Power Supply. When this external power supply is used, the M677's high- or low-impedance micro-
phone-level output allows it to be used with virtually
any audio equipment having a microphone input (audio
tape recorder, video recorder, PA system, etc.).

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
INPUTS
A maximum of six low-impedance dynamic, ribbon
or condenser (capacitor) microphones may be connected to receptacles marked INPUT 1 through INPUT
6. With
accept signals from the above microphones or
phone-level signals such as the low-impedance
microphone-level outputs of mixers. With
switches set to LINE, the inputs will accept balanced
600-ohm line-level signals.

the M677 may be powered from a Shure
power supply. NOTE: For use with Shure M68 Series
Mixers, connect only the red 30 VDC cable to the M68;
ground connection is provided through the phono or
microphone cable.

power cables should be insulated to avoid accidental
shorting or grounding.

has either low- or high-impedance microphone-level
output selected by the switch above the receptacle.
This output is designed for connection to a 25 to 600
ohm microphone input or to a high-impedance microphone input of an amplifier or tape recorder. (This
output may be used simultaneously with the MIX BUS
AND AUX OUTPUT connector.) See section on
CONNECTIONS for instructions on connection to a
high- or low-impedance balanced or unbalanced line.
MIX BUS AND AUX OUTPUT:
that both mix bus and aux output functions are fed
through the same connector. The unusual circuit
design associated with this output enables it to be
connected to a mixer, tape recorder or amplifier aux
input (47 kilohms) or a Shure mixer mix bus (3.5
kilohms). This connector cannot be used to drive
a mix bus and aux input at the same time, because

AUX input, the MIX BUS AND AUX OUTPUT connector
cable should be 3m (10 ft) maximum; when connected
to a mix bus input, the cable may be up to
For mix bus connections such as stacking several
M677's, this jack may be used with the supplied phono
pin connector cable and a
to be used to drive more than one input, a
