ARCHITECTS'SPECIFICATIONS

The microphone shall be a moving-coil (dynamic) type with a frequency response of 70 to 16,000 Hz. It shall have a cardioid directional characteristic, with cancellation at the sides being approximately 6 dB and the cancellation at the rear being 15 to 20 dB. The microphone shall have an impedance of 150 ohms for connection to microphone inputs rated at 19 to 300 ohms. The microphone output shall be -60.0 dB where 0 dB equals one milliwatt per 10 microbars of sound pressure.

The microphone shall have a two-position Response Selector switch. One ~ o s i t i o n~rovidesa flat resDonse and the second position provides gradual low frequency rolloff.

The microphone shall be provided with a swivel adapter and a 6.lm (20 ft), two-conductor, shielded cable equipped with a professional three-pin audio connector designed to mate with Cannon XL series, Switchcraft A3 (A.G.) series, or equivalent connector. The microphone swivel adapter shall mount on a stand having 5/8"-27 thread.

The overall dimensions shall be 182 mm (7-=/32in.) in length and 38 mm (1% in.) in diameter for the SM53 and 194 mm (7% in.) in length and 44 mm (1% in.) in diameter for the SM54.

The microphone shall be a Shure Model SM53, SM54, or equivalent.

NOTE: The addition of the A53WS windscreen increases the flexibility of the SM53 microphone in a variety of field and studio applications, by effectively suppressing wind noise created in outdoor situations, or by a rapidly moving boom or "fish-pole". The A53WS has no effect on the microphone level or frequency response. It can be used only with the SM53 microphone.

The use of the A53G pop-filter grille assembly on an SM53 microphone converts it to an SM54 microphone. This assembly provides protection against "pop" and breath noise even in difficult close-talking and handheld situations. The use of the A53G pop filter grille assembly has no effect on the microphone level and creates only minimal changes in response (in the 4 kilohertz region) and in directivity.
