The Shure Model SM11 is a miniature dynamic lavalier microphone designed for use in television broadcasting (on camera), for sound reinforcement, in certain radio and motion picture applications, and similar uses where a small, professional-quality microphone is required. The SM11 has an omnidirectional pickup pattern, and its frequency response is optimized for lavalier use. The microphone is supplied with a tie clasp assembly, tie tack assembly, connector belt clip, and zippered carrying/storage bag. An optional kit for mounting the SM11 on various musical instruments is available as Shure Model RK279.
Insert the SM11 in the tie clasp and anchor the cable as shown. Affix the clasp to a tie, shirt, or blouse. Note that the microphone can be swiveled 360° in its holder for left, right, or vertical ("pen clip") use.
Cable Anchoring
Remove the clutch from the tie tack assembly and insert the tie tack holder in the tie (or through the tie and shirt if desired). Affix the clutch to the pin of the tie tack holder. Insert the SM11 in the tie tack holder.
With the SM11 installed in one of the assemblies described above, insert the connector in the connector belt clip and fasten the belt clip to the user's belt, waistband or other clothing. Excess microphone cable can be inserted in the user's pocket or tucked into the waistband.
