Shure Incorporated MX200 Series Overhead Microphones General Description ® Shure Microflex MX200 Series microphones are miniature electret condenser microphones designed for miking choirs and performance groups. They are typically suspended over the heads of the performers. Their high sensitivity and wide frequency range make them suitable for recording, as well as sound reinforcement applications. An attached 101 mm (4 in.) gooseneck allows them to be easily aimed at the sound source.
Shure Incorporated Cartridge Polar Patterns Snap-Fit Windscreen • Snap into the groove below the cartridge. • To remove, spread the gap with a screwdriver or thumbnail. • Provides 30 dB of "pop" protection. Preamp Gain If necessary, the preamplifier gain can be reduced by 12 dB. Contact an authorized Shure service center for information. RFI Filtering Important: Microphones must be used with the RK100PK or RK202PK plate-mounted preamp to optimize RF immunity.
Shure Incorporated • If four or more microphones will be open at once, an automatic mixer, such as the Shure SCM810 or SCM410, is recom mended. Set up the automatic mixer so that all overhead microphones gate on simultaneously.
Shure Incorporated Permanent Installation Installing the In-Line Preamp Use the two supplied mounting clamps to hold the preamp in place on a wall or ceiling.
Shure Incorporated Ceiling Tile Installation 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Drill a 1/2 in. hole into the ceiling tile. CAUTION: To avoid tile damage, use a 1/2 in. augur bit and drill very slowly. Unplug the mini 4-pin connector from the preamp and feed the cable through the hole. Place the rubber grommet, tip down, over the cable and position it to suspend the microphone at the appropriate height. Fit the grommet securely into the hole. For 5/8 in. ceiling tile, use the suppled washer. Reconnect the preamp.
