SM35 Headworn Microphone

The Shure SM35 is a headworn electret condenser microphone, intended for use with a wireless bodypack transmitter in live stage performances.

Wearing the Microphone

  1. Install the windscreen on the microphone boom.
  2. Place the headband around the back of the head, with the boom on the left side.
  3. Place the microphone at the corner of the mouth. To decrease pops and plosives, avoid placing the microphone directly in front of the mouth

Note: Do not store the microphone in damp, enclosed spaces. Allow perspiration to dry completely before storing.

RPM400 Preamplifiers

The RPM400 preamplifiers offer exceptional dynamic range utilizing an active gain circuit in a concise and small package. They are offered in two connector versions: TA4F and LEMO, which allows you to quickly take a wireless TL microphone and make it a wired solution. These preamplifiers require phantom power and can efficiently operate across a wide range of supply voltages from 12-48v.

Features

  • Active circuit design with neutral gain mimics wireless for consistent gain output across wired or wireless applications.
  • High RF immunity against unwanted interference.
  • Short, compact design.
  • Belt clip and table mounting kits for easy placement for a variety of applications.

Certifications

Note: Testing is based on the use of supplied and recommended cable types. The use of other than shielded (screened) cable types may degrade EMC performance.
