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

INSTALLATION AND APPLICATIONS
The flexible design of the PSM600 Personal Stereo Monitor System makes
configuring a monitor mix very simple. In addition, the unique MixMode circuitry enables
you to customize your own individual mix in a multiple mix environment. To help you install
the PSM600 into your sound system, the tables and diagrams in this section describe
three distinct modes of operating or controlling the system. Although the examples show
only single system setups, you can configure multiple wireless systems in a setup. Some
multiple mix setups are detailed in the LOOP Applications section of this chapter.
Operating Modes
Stereo Control Used for conventional Stereo monitor mixes.
Transmitter Stereo/MixMode setting
Receiver Stereo setting
Balance Dial Varies stereo left/right image
MixMode Control Used for creating an individual mix between two distinct moni-
tor sends.
Transmitter Stereo/MixMode setting
Receiver MixMode setting
Balance Dial Varies levels between mixes
Mono Control Used when only one (mono) monitor mix is available.
Transmitter Mono setting
Receiver Stereo setting
Balance Dial Varies the right/left volume control
NOTE: For consistency throughout the following diagrams, a mixing console is shown as
the source supplying the audio signal to the P6T Transmitter. However, any balanced or
unbalanced send that outputs a line level should drive the P6T Transmitter adequately.
Some devices that would work are a CD player, DAT machine, direct out box, signal
processing equipment, and microphone preamps.
Stereo Control
This diagram shows how to connect the PSM600 system with a stereo monitor mix.
1. Connect the stereo mixer outputs to the L/CH1. and R/CH2. INPUTs on the P6T
Transmitter
2. Set the SOURCE switch on the P6T front panel to STEREO.
3. Set DIP switch 2 of the P6R Receiver to STEREO.

LOOP Applications
The LOOP OUT L (left) and R (right) outputs allow the signal going through the P6T to
be run to other devices. The LOOP feature of the P6T can be used for any number of
applications. Shown here are only a few examples of how it can be used.
NOTE: The LOOP connectors act as either inputs or outputs. They can
be used as outputs when the LEFT and RIGHT INPUT connectors are
used for input. However, LOOP connectors can also act as inputs when
connected directly to the outputs of a mixer. When the LOOP connectors
are used as inputs, the LEFT and RIGHT INPUT connectors act as
outputs. These diagrams show the LOOP connectors being used as
outputs. Also, the input pad does not affect the level of the LOOP signals.
Running Multiple PSM Wireless Systems Under Stereo Control
The LOOP INPUT connectors can be used to send the same monitor stereo signals to
multiple P6T wireless transmitters. This will free up busses on the mixing console,
allowing you more freedom with your audio system. Simply connect a P6T to the mixing
console as described in Stereo Control, then run
connectors of the first unit to the LEFT/RIGHT Input connectors of the next unit. Connect
subsequent unit in the same way.

Running Multiple PSM Wireless Systems Under MixMode Control
A main mono monitor mix can be sent to multiple P6T transmitters, then independent
monitor mixes can be sent to the second channel of each. This will allow an entire band to
hear the same monitor mix, while giving each individual player a separate mix of their own.
Each player can then use the balance knob to adjust the levels between their own mix and
the main mono monitor mix.

ACCESSORIES
Several additional products have been developed as part of the PSM product family.
These products can enhance the operation of your system, and must be purchased
separately.
PA705 Unidirectional Antenna
The PA705 is a unidirectional, remote-mountable, wideband transmitting antenna designed to provide wireless coverage in a cardioid pattern.
You can use the PA705 to secure a line-of-sight transmission path from the
transmitter to the receiver when the actual transmitters are obscured.
Also, since the PA705 has some gain (due to its directivity), it is also useful
when covering very long distances with your wireless system.
PA760 Antenna Combiner
The PA760 is a breakthrough new product specifically designed to im-
prove the performance of multiple wireless monitor systems. First, it com-
PA760
MULTIPLE
P6Ts
bines up to four P6T Transmitters into a single antenna with no signal loss,
thus reducing stage clutter without losing wireless range. The PA760 significantly reduces interference by lowering the Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)
levels between the four transmitters. The PA760 is an internally-powered,
half-rack unit — transportation and setup are easy. Please note that the
PA760 cannot be cascaded to other PA760’s.
PA705
P6HW Hardwired Body Pack
The P6HW is a hardwired version of the Personal Stereo Monitor for users who do not need the mobility of wireless systems, such as drummers or keyboard players.
The P6HW has the same features as the wireless version
(Stereo control, MixMode control, limiter, etc.) at a lower
price. The P6HW also includes an input pad for increased
dynamic range, as well as an input peak indicator to alert
the user when levels are too high.
SCL Earphones
Shure offers a variety of earphones to fit your needs. Designed exclu-
SCL3

The P6T Transmitter can be internally modified to
operate from 230 Vac, 50/60 Hz power.
WARNING
Voltages in this equipment are hazardous to
life. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
The safety certifications of the P6T do not
apply when the operating voltage is changed
from the factory setting.
To change the operating voltage, follow these steps.
1. Disconnect the P6T from the ac power source.
2. Remove the eight Phillips head screws securing the top
cover.
3. Locate Voltage Selector switch SW4 adjacent to power
transformer T1 and, using a screwdriver, turn the center
rotor to the 230 V position.
4. Locate fuse and remove it. Replace it with a 80 mA, 250 V,
time delay fuse for 230-volt operation (160 mA, 250 V,
time delay fuse for 115-volt operation).

5. Replace the power cord with a cord rated for for 230 V
operation, i.e., an IEC appliance connector on the
equipment end and a CEE 7/7 (“Schuko”) mains
connector on the other.* (Shure part #95A8247.)
Similarly, the EP6T can be internally modified to
operate from 115 Vac, 50/60 Hz power.
To change the operating voltage, follow these steps.
1. Disconnect the EP6T from the ac power source.
2. Remove the eight Phillips head screws securing the top
cover.
3. Locate Voltage Selector switch SW4 adjacent to power
transformer T1 and, using a screwdriver, turn the center
rotor to the 115 V position.
4. Locate fuse and remove it. Replace it with a 160 mA, 250

5. Replace the power cord with a cord rated for for 115 V
operation, i.e., an IEC appliance connector on the
equipment end and a mains connector suitable for 115 V
operation on the other.* (Shure part #95A8389.)
*For systems requiring other mains connectors, obtain a power cord with
an IEC 320 type mating connector for connection to the P6T, and an
appropriate plug on the other end for connection to the mains. The supplied
cord uses Harmonized IEC Cordage with color coding as follows: Brown =
Line, Blue = Neutral, Green/Yellow = Ground.

APPENDIX B. RACK MOUNTING OPTIONS
Rack Mounting the P6T Transmitter
NOTE: Dual mounting with other Shure products. The P6T can also
be dual mounted with a Shure SC or LX half-rack wireless receiver.
These same instructions apply, but the front panels will not align evenly.
The SC and LX receivers must use the SC and LX rack ears. They
cannot be mounted with P6T rack ears. However, the link bars are
universal and can be used to connect the P6T with an LX or SC receiver.
WARNING: Do not torque the screws too tightly, or the chassis may be damaged.
Single Unit
1. Remove the screws and washers from each side of the unit.
2. Align the supplied rackmount brackets over the holes.
3. Using the screws and washers from step 1, fasten the rack-mount brackets.
Dual-Mounted Units
1. Remove the screws and washers on each side of both units.
2. Placing the two units side-by-side, screw the link bars to the inside panels of each
unit. The units are designed so that the link bar on the right unit will fit directly on
top of the link bar of the left unit (facing front). Use two of the screws and
washers from step 1 per link bar to fasten the link bars.
3. Align the rackmount brackets on the outside panels of the units and fasten using
four of the screws and washers from step 1.
4. Place the two units next to each other so the link bars overlap and the screw holes
on the two align.
5. Fasten the link bars together using 4 supplied screws and washers.
NOTE: The link bars are designed with recesses in the side holes where
the screw head and washer fit in. Once the link bars are screwed on
properly, the vertical holes will align. Each link bar has two threaded holes
and two unthreaded holes. In order to ensure proper fit, stack the link bars
so that the unthreaded holes on one bar align with the threaded holes on
the other bar. Then, each pair of screws fits in the opposite direction of the
other pair, ensuring the stability of the link.
Mounting in an Equipment Rack
15
SINGLE MOUNT DUAL MOUNT
1. Insert the unit(s) into a 19-inch equipment rack.
2. Fasten the unit(s) to the rack using all four of the supplied screws.
Front Mounting the Antenna
When rack mounting units, use the supplied cable and bulkhead adapter to front
mount the antenna. This prevents other cables from becoming entangled in the antenna
and can greatly reduce RF interference.
NOTE: The PA715 antenna, which comes supplied with the P6T; cannot
be remote mounted. Use a PA705 antenna for remote mounting.
