WARNING!

USING THIS SYSTEM AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES CAN CAUSE

PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE. USE AS LOW A VOLUME AS POSSIBLE.

In order to use this system safely, avoid prolonged listening at excessive sound pressure levels. Please use the fol­lowing guidelines established by the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) on maximum time exposure
to sound pressure levels before hearing damage occurs.

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 hearing damage may occur

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 earphones is also an important factor in determining the SPL in the ear.

1

/2 hour

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 that the gain levels are too high. Try lowering the gain levels.

3. Have your ears checked by an audiologist on a regular basis. If you experience wax buildup in your ears, stop
using the system until an audiologist has examined your ears.

4. Wipe the earphones with an antiseptic before and after use to avoid infections. Stop using the earphones if
they are causing great discomfort or infection.

This symbol indicates important operating and

maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying this unit.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for buying the PSM200. Like all Shure PSM personal monitoring products, the PSM200 provides the many advantages of
in-ear monitoring including:

 Improved Sound Quality —high fidelity without the risk of feedback,
 Increased Mobility —your mix moves with you,
 Personal Control —create a personal mix, and control your own levels.

For information on this and other Shure products, visit www.shure.com on the World Wide Web.

The PSM200 Personal Monitor System

The PSM200 is a frequency-agile, in-ear monitor system for
use in a wide variety of applications. Its many features help
overcome the difficulties associated with stage monitoring.

The P2R Receiver is the world’s first bodypack receiver to
function as a wired receiver, a wireless receiver, or both at
the same time. This and other unique features, along with
excellent s ound q uality, make the P2R an e xceptional v alue.

The P2T TransMixer is another breakthrough design for
in-ear monitoring. It allows the u ser to connect two l ine-level
or mic–level i nputs directly into t he transmitter. The two s ig ­nals can then b e mixed independently. You can connect mi-

crophones or instruments directly t o the i nputs, use l ine out­puts from a mixing console, or connect it to Shure’s Aux­Pander. In short, no matter what the output device, you
can probably plug it into the TransMixer.

The complete PSM200 System includes the E2 Earphones,
which feature a dynamic driver that produces crisp, full-spec­trum sound. They include a variety of sleeve options to provide
the best fit and isolation for your ears. The E2, like all Shure
earphones, work well with CD players, MP3 players, and any­thing else with a

8. DC IN: Plug the power supply into this connector. The unit
remains powered on until you unplug it.

9. SPLIT OUTs: Each male XLR output jack duplicates the
signal of the corresponding mic/line input. Front panel set­tings have no effect on split output level.

Audio Inputs and Outputs

The INPUT knobs control both MIC and LINE level signals. As a general guide­line, set the knob to the left of twelve o’clock for line level signals, and to the right
of twelve o’clock for microphone levels.

Observe the signal/clip LEDs. If they are consistently red, decrease the level
with the corresponding INPUT knob.

NOTE: If the level is decreased all the way and the LED
remains red, the level of the input from the previous device
in the audio chain (mixer, click track, digital sequencer, etc.)
is too high and should be decreased.

Phantom Power

Although the T ransMixer itself does not provide phantom power for condenser microphones, the SPLIT OUT connectors pass phantom pow­er from a phantom power supply to a microphone connected to the corresponding input jack. You can connect equipment that supplies phan­tom power to the TransMixer without harming the unit.

Selecting a Frequency Channel

1. Press and hold the SELECT button until the CHANNEL LED indicator begins to flash.

2. When the LED indicator is flashing, press the SELECT button to scroll to the desired frequency channel.

3. Release the button. After 4 seconds the display will stop flashing and the P2T will automatically switch to the
specified channel.

IMPORTANT:

Never set more than ONE TransMixer to the same frequency channel, or interference will occur.

Wireless Mode

When you are using the P2R as a wireless receiver, or as a combination wired and wireless receiver, use the SELECT button on
the side of the P2R Receiver to set the frequency channel (1–8).

To Select a Frequency Channnel:

1. Press and hold the SELECT button until the CHANNEL LED indicator begins to flash.

2. When the LED indicator is flashing, press the SELECT button to scroll to the desired
frequency channel.

3. Release the button. After 4 seconds the display will stop flashing and the P2R
will automatically switch to the specified channel.

NOTE: Set the P2R to the same channel as the P2T TransMixer.

Wired Mode

When you are using the P2R Receiver as a stand-alone wired monitor, you can set the unit
to wired mode. This de-activates the RF circuitry and extends the battery life.

To Set the P2R to Wired Mode:

1. Press and hold the SELECT button until the CHANNEL LED indicator begins to flash.

2. When the LED indicator is flashing, press the SELECT button to scroll past channel 8 until the letter “A” appears in
the display.

3. Release the button. After 4 seconds the display will stop flashing and the P2R will automatically switch to wired mode.

NOTE: Setting the P2R receiver to wired mode disables its wireless capability.

CHANNEL LED Indicator

The CHANNEL LED indicator shuts itself off after 10 seconds to conserve battery life. T o view the frequency channel when
the LED indicator is off, simply press and release the SELECT button.

To disable the battery saving feature:

1. Turn off the P2R.

2. Press and hold the SELECT button and turn the unit back on while holding down the button.

3. The LED indicator now displays the current frequency channel until you turn off the P2R and turn it back on.

MIX IN Jack

When you are using the P2R Receiver as a stand-alone personal monitor, the 1/4-inch MIX IN jack
serves as the primary audio input. In addition, the MIX IN jack allows the P2R to function as a hybrid
wired and wireless receiver. When you are using the P2R in its wireless mode, you can add a second
audio source via the MIX IN jack, such as.

 Click Tracks
 Pre-Amp Outputs from Guitar or Bass

Next to the jack is a two-position GAIN switch that gives you a choice between LO and HI gain settings
for the input. For specific information on how the MIX IN jack functions, refer to the wiring diagrams
on page 16.

 Effects Processors
 Condenser Microphones

LIM LED

The P2R Receiver has a non–defeatable (constantly a ctive) l imiter t hat automatically a ctivates
if the receiver output level exceeds a certain volume, which is calibrated specifically for the
Shure E2 earphones. The L IM LED on the top of the unit lights up when the limiter is on. If the
LIM LED blinks occasionally, turn down the volume of the receiver.* If the LED is on and you
haven’t reached a high enough listening level, try re-inserting the e arphones for a better seal,
or adjust the mix that is being sent to the receiver to include only the most essential inputs.**

* When the LED is on, the volume will not increase. ** The limiter is d esigned t o w ork b est w ith t he S hure E 2 e arphones.

APPENDIX

P2R Receiver MIX IN Jack Wiring Diagrams

Mono Line Input

The MIX–IN jack accepts line-level signals, such
as click tracks, effects processors, pre-amp out­puts from guitar or bass amps, or line outputs from
mixing consoles. When used with a mono connec­tor, the ring of the MIX IN jack is grounded. This
doesn’t harm the P2R.

Condensor Mic TRS Input

By connecting a condensor microphone to the MIX
IN jack, you can include sounds from your immedi­ate surroundings in your personal mix. When the
MIX IN Jack is used with a TRS connector, such as
the Shure AP200 adaptor, the P2R supplies a 5 volt
bias on the ring signal. This enables the MIX IN jack
to power a condensor microphone. The AP200
works with any Shure microphone that has a mini
4-pin connector.
