The Shure P9HW is a wired, two-channel stereo bodypack system designed
to replace loudspeakers used for onstage monitoring. The portable, lightweight
P9HW has several advantages over onstage monitor loudspeakers: it is less
visible, offers improved clarity and control of sound, reduces the chances of

Use the supplied Y-splitter cable to connect up to two sources.
Important: Align the red dot on the cable with the notch inside the bodypack
input.

feedback, and reduces stage clutter. It is a versatile system, designed for
use in sound reinforcement applications including public address, live music,
studio recording, broadcast, and theater.
② Clip Indicator
Illuminates when the input is overloaded. Turn the volume down at the mixer
until the light remains off.
③ Volume Knob / Power Switch
Turn to power on/off and adjust headphone volume
④ Battery LED

⑫ Removable AA Adapter
Remove to use with a Shure SB900 rechargeable battery
Note: To remove, open the door and slide the adapter out. To reinstall, press
the adapter into place—there is an audible click when seated.
Setup
① Insert batteries
Use the Shure SB900 rechargeable battery pack or two AA batteries.
② Connect the bodypack to an audio source using the supplied Ysplitter cable
Connect the 5-pin LEMO connector to the bodypack, with the red dot on the
cable aligned with the notch inside the bodypack connector. Route the two
XLR connectors on the cable to the appropriate mixer outputs. See the system
overview diagram for a signal routing example.
Note: the bodypack can connect either directly to the mixer or through a patch
bay on stage.
③ Put on the earphones and connect them to the headphone output
The P9HW is designed to perform best with Shure earphones, but works
with any headphones or in-ear monitors that have a standard 1/8-inch (3.5
mm) stereo plug.
④ Turn the power on
Turn the volume knob clockwise until it clicks to turn on the power.
Caution: do not turn the volume knob all the way up when turning the
power on.
⑤ Slowly increase the volume until it reaches a comfortable level for
listening
To set a maximum volume limit, use the VLIMIT function. See the utilities
section of this guide for more information.

System Overview
Audio Settings
MODE
STEREO: Audio from channel 1 is heard on the left earphone; audio from channel 2 is on the right earphone.
MIXMODE: Both channels are heard on the left and right earphones. The blend between mixes is adjustable.
EQ
The parametric equalizer is divided into four frequency bands: LOW, LOW MID, HIGH MID, and HIGH. When the equalizer is enabled, the following parameters
are adjustable:
FREQUENCY: Select the center frequency of the band to boost/cut
Q: Adjusts the width and slope of the frequency band (measured in octaves)
GAIN: Adjustable in 2 dB increments from -6 dB (cut) to +6 dB (boost)
NOTE: HIGH and LOW are shelf filters, and therefore do not have adjustable Q widths. The HIGH shelf is fixed at 10 kHz; the LOW shelf is fixed at 100 Hz.
VLIMIT (Maximum Volume)
Set a value (-3 to -21 dB) to attenuate the highest possible volume level. Turning the volume knob through its entire range of motion still affects volume; the
limit simply narrows the range of dB adjustment.
Note: The VLIMIT does not compress the audio.
BAL MX / BAL ST (Balance)
The behavior of the balance control depends on which mode the bodypack is set to:
STEREO: Adjusts the left/right balance
MIXMODE: Adjusts the blend between channel one and channel two

AUTO OFF
Automatically turns off the bodypack after a selectable amount of time (5,
30, or 60 min.) while it is in power-save mode or when connected to a
charger with the power on. To restore power to the bodypack, the power
switch must be turned off and then on again.
Note: SB900 batteries charge fastest when the bodypack is off
Shure IncorporatedP9HW Wired Bodypack Personal Monitor
MixMode and Stereo Monitoring
The bodypack can operate in either of the following listening modes:
Stereo (default)
To operate in stereo mode, enter the menu and select AUDIO>MODE>STEREO .
In stereo mode, audio from channel 1 is heard on the left earphone, while
audio from channel 2 is heard on the right earphone. Listening in stereo increases clarity and separation between the sources on each channel.
Adjusting mix blend
To adjust the blend between channel 1 and channel 2, enter the menu and
select AUDIO>BAL MX. Use the arrow buttons (▲▼) to make adjustments.
In this scenario, an instrumental mix is on channel 1 (left) and a vocal mix is
on channel 2 (right):
To hear more of channel one (instruments), shift the balance towards the
left.
Adjusting Balance
To adjust the left/right balance, select AUDIO>BAL ST. Use the ▲▼ buttons
to change the setting.
MixMode
To operate in MixMode, enter the menu and select AUDIO>MODE>MIXMODE.
In MixMode, the blend between two monitoring mixes (an instrumental mix
and a vocal mix, for example) is adjustable. The signal is mono, which means
each mix is heard through both the left and right earphones.
