SYSTEM

Unprecedented combination of audio and RF performance

for the most demanding professional monitoring applications.

The PSM®900 Wireless Personal Monitor System from Shure offers

an unprecedented combination of superb audio quality, robust RF

performance, and category-leading features for the most demand-

ing professional applications. Patent-pending CueMode allows the

sound engineer to monitor different stage mixes with the touch of a

button. Precision front-end RF filtering significantly reduces drop-

outs from RF interference, and the enhanced digital stereo encoder

provides excellent stereo separation and audio clarity.
