This symbol indicates that there are important
operating and maintenance instructions in the literature
accompanying this unit.
This symbol indicates that dangerous voltage
constituting a risk of electric shock is present within this

WARNING: Voltages in this equipment are hazardous to life. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
The safety certifications do not apply when the operating voltage is changed from the factory setting.
WARNING!
USE OF THIS SYSTEM AT AN EXCESSIVE VOLUME MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE.
In order to use this system safely, avoid prolonged listening at excessive sound pressure levels. Please refer to the
following guidelines established by the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) on maximum time
exposure to sound pressure levels before hearing damage occurs.
It is difficult to measure the exact Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) present at the eardrum in live applications. In addition
to the volume setting on the PSM, the SPL in the ear is affected by ambient sound from floor wedges or other devices.
The isolation provided by the fit of quality earpieces is also an important factor in determining the SPL in the ear.
Here are some general tips to follow in the use of this product to protect your ears from damage:
1. Turn up the volume control only far enough to hear properly.
2. Ringing in the ears may indicate excessive gain levels. Try lowering the gain levels.
3. Have your ears checked regularly by an audiologist. If you suffer wax buildup, stop using the system and consult
an audiologist.
4. Wipe the ear molds with an antiseptic before and after use to avoid infections. Stop using the ear molds if they are
causing great discomfort or infection.
OPERATE AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE VOLUME.
90 dB SPL at 8 hours
95 dB SPL at 4 hours
100 dB SPL at 2 hours
105 dB SPL at 1 hour
110 dB SPL at
115 dB SPL at 15 minutes
120 dB SPL — avoid or damage may occur
1
/2 hour

GETTING STARTED WITH THE PSM600 SYSTEM
Thank you for purchasing the PSM600 Personal Stereo Monitor System. The
PSM600 is a revolutionary new product family designed to meet the diverse audio
monitoring needs of musicians, engineers, and stage performers.
This section outlines step-by-step instructions to quickly show you how to connect
your PSM system to an audio source while introducing you to some of its features.
P6T Transmitter Setup
1. Plug the power cord to the power connector.
Connect the other end to a power supply.
2. Attach the antenna to the
ANTENNA OUT BNC connector.
3. Plug the cable(s) from the audio source (mixer,
audio output, CD player) into the LEFT/RIGHT
audio inputs. For a stereo send, use both inputs.
For mono send, use either the LEFT or RIGHT input.
NOTE: All inputs are phantom power
protected up to 60 VDC.
4. Put the PAD switch in the +4 dB if the input
signal is +4 dB, or the –10 dB position, if the
input signal is –10 dB.
5. Turn on the P6T Transmitter.
6. Set the SOURCE switch to match the
audio send (stereo/mono).
7. Set the FREQuency switch in the UP position
to frequency #1.
IMPORTANT: Never set more than ONE transmitter to the same
operating frequency.
8. Power on the audio source and adjust the level control so the LEDs are in the –3
dB to +3 dB range.
P6R Receiver Setup
9. Attach the bodypack antenna (PA710) to the
ANTENNA connector by aligning the red dot and
threading the shell until it is tight.
10. Open the battery door and insert a 9V alkaline battery.
11. Set the DIP switches according to the illustration.
12. Set the balance control to the center detent position.

INTRODUCTION
Description
The Shure PSM600 Personal Stereo Monitor System is a UHF wireless, two-channel
stereo, monitor system designed for onstage applications. The PSM has several
advantages over onstage loudspeaker monitors: it is less visible, has better sound, allows
freedom of movement, and reduces the chances of feedback. It is a versatile system,
designed for use in many different sound reinforcement applications: public address, live
music, theater, and electronic news gathering (ENG). The wireless system is frequency
compatible with other Shure UHF and VHF wireless systems.
