MODEL M688 AND M688E
STEREO MICROPHONE
MIXERS
GENERAL:
The Shure Model M688 is a completely transistor-
portable Stereo Microphone Mixer for use with
ized,
sound reinforcement systems and tape recorders.
The Model
M688E Stereo Microphone Mixer is similar to Model M688 except that it is designed to be
connected to a 120
+lo% or 240 &lo% volt ac
power line, as selected by a switch under the chassis.
Features include:
Stereo High lmpedance Auxiliary Outputs.
Mono Microphone Level Output for mixed (L
R)
monaural output.
+
Four Microphone Inputs, low impedance (bal-
anced) or high impedance (unbalanced).
Stereo, High Level Auxiliary Inputs suitable for
tape recorder, tuner, or the output of a stereo
magnetic Phono Preamp such as the Shure
Model M64.
Individual Volume Controls for each input.
A Stereo Master volume control to simu-ltaneous-
ly adjust level of all inputs.
A Mono-Stereo switch.
Left-Right switches for Mics.
1,
2 and

A Pan Control used for adjusting the apparent
location of the Mic. 4 input to either left channel
or right channel position or anywhere between.
Mix Bus jacks for paralleling two or more M688
units.
Dc Power jacks to supply 27 Vdc for use with
accessories or to allow powering the M688 from

Microphones: A maximum of four low or

phones may be connected to receptacles marked Mic.

Mic. 3 and

for low-impedance microphones with 25 to 600 ohms
impedance or high-impedance microphones, as selected by a slide switch above the input receptacle. The
unit is not recommended for use with crystal or ceramic microphones. The input receptacles, Mic. 1,
3
Mic. 2, Mic.
and Mic. 4 are female professional
three-pin audio connectors* (mate, Shure Part
See Figure B for low-and high-impedance connections
to receptacle.
(NOTE: Some capacitor (condenser) microphones
produce very high output signals which may overload
the input of a mixer. A Shure Model
Attenuator placed between the microphone and the
mixer input will eliminate this problem.)
Aux. Input: The left channel
phono jacks marked Aux. Input on the rear panel will
accept the output from a high-impedance, high-level
source such as a tape recorder, AM-FM tuner, or
output from a phono cartridge preamplifier, such as the
Shure Model M64 or
A68P (2 Model A68P's required
for Stereo). One or more Shure M68 Series Microphone
Mixers may be connected to these jacks to add additional microphone inputs.
Mix Bus: The left channel (L) and right channel (R)
phono jacks marked Mix Bus on the rear panel are
used when paralleling M688 units to increase the
number of input channels. Use a phono pin plug
jumper cable between each L Mix Bus jack, and an-
other between each
R Mix Bus jack.
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Auxiliary Output: The left channel (L) and right chan-
nel (R) phono jacks marked Auxiliary Output are highimpedance high-level outputs designed primarily to
feed power amplifiers requiring 0.1 to 2 volts, or the
auxiliary or tuner inputs of an amplifier or tape recorder.
Mono Mic. Output: The receptacle marked Mono Mic.
Output has a low- or high-impedance output selected

mA max.) for accessories.

An external battery pack, such as the Shure Model
A67B or A68B, or an external 26 to
30
Vdc source
may also be used to power the M688 via these jacks.
OPERATION
Power: Connect the three conductor power line cord
to a 120 volt,
50/60 Hertz ac power outlet. The
power ON-OFF switch is on the front panel. A neon
pilot lamp indicates that the ac power is on. (This
lamp does not light when the unit is battery operated).
If battery operation is desired, do not connect line
cord. The ON-OFF switch also controls battery input
power.
Volume Controls: The Master volume control and the
individual volume controls for each of the five channels
are identified on the front panel. Both the Aux. volume
control and the Master volume control are clutched
dual concentric controls. The left channel (L) control
is the large outer knob. The right channel (R) control
is the smaller inner knob. The relative setting of the
left and right controls may be changed by restraining
one knob and moving the other. Above the Master
volume control is a Mono-Stereo switch used for se-
lecting either monaural or stereo output at the Auxiliary
L
Output
and R jacks on rear of chassis. Individual
channel volume controls not being used should be
kept at minimum setting (fully counterclockwise).

Pan Control: The Mic. 4 Pan Control on the
front panel is used for adjusting the apparent location

of the Mic.
Signal to either left or right positions or
anywhere between. When the Mic. 4 Pan Control is
in the maximum left position, program material on
Mic. 4 appears only at the Auxiliary Output left channel
(L); likewise, when the Mic. 4 Pan Control is in the
maximum Right position, the program material appears
only at the Auxiliary Output right channel (R). When
the Mic. 4 Pan Control is centered between Left and
Right, the Mic. 4 program material appears equally on
both left (L) and right (R) Auxiliary Output phono jacks.
The program material on Mic. 4 appears at the Mono
Mic. Output no matter where the Pan Control is set.
In making a stereo recording or with a stereo sound
reinforcement system, it may be desirable to place the
4
vocalist on Mic.
so the voice may be "centered"
between the left (L) and right (R) stereo channels
containing the orchestra.
