PRODUCT INFORMATION SHM 201 - 215
Thank you for selecting the SHM 201 - 215 gooseneck micro-
phone. Please take some time to read carefully through this product
information before setting up the equipment.
Applications
This gooseneck microphone features a cardioid polar pattern,
high gain before feedback and excellent intelligibility of speech. It is
suitable for use on lecterns, sound reinforcement applications,
conferencing, high quality talkback and paging systems.
Installation and Connection
Version with 5/8" internal thread
The supplied screw and adapter allows 3/8" and 5/8" mounting
to a variety of surfaces or stands. The cable can be threaded through the
screw for invisible mounting on a tabletop.
For surfaces of extra thickness the optional adapter plate ZSH 30.01
should be used.
The ZSH 40 mount is another choice of accessory and is designed to help
eliminate footfall noise and unwanted mechanical sound (refer to
”Optional Accessories”).
The 4-pin Binder plug is connected to the CV 15 PV N(C)-R pre-amp by
using a standard XLR-cable.
Versions with XLR-socket
An XLR flange connector is installed into the tabletop and
connected to the amplifier input (pin 1: ground, pin 2: NF+, pin 3: NF-).
Turn the compression nut towards the microphone head. After
plugging-in the microphone, the compression nut is turned clockwise
which allows solid fastening. In addition to this, the microphone can be
protected from theft by tightening the socket head screw (integrated
hexagonal screw, size 1.3) in the compression nut.
The ZSH 40 (CM)/ZSH 40 (CM/5) or the ZSH 50 (CM)/ZSH 50 (CM/5) base
plate can be used for footfall sound insulation (refer to “Optional
Accessories”).
The ZSH 51 (CM)/ZSH 51 (CM/5) stand adapter is used for stand-
mounting (refer to “Optional Accessories”).
Versions with XLR-plug
An XLR flange socket is installed into the tabletop and connected
to the amplifier input (pin 1: ground, pin 2: NF+, pin 3: NF-).
The microphone is connected and ready for operation.
All versions mentioned above need a phantom supply of 11 - 52 V for
operation.
Versions with Nexus-plug
With 4-pin jack plug (screw-type connector). At the lower end of
the gooseneck there is an additional area for an open-end wrench to
tighten the gooseneck. The microphone is simply put into the MCS 1xxx
microphone station and is ready for operation.
SHM 21x illuminated ring: (except SHM 214 I and SHM 215 I)
The illuminated ring is operated with a series resistance. The
current must not exceed 20 mA.
Connection: pin 4/white wire: cathode, pin 5/blue wire: anode. In order
to avoid interference, we recommend that the audio and the supply for
the illuminated ring are individually screened.
Important:
Apart from the SHM 203 G, SHM 204 G and SHM 205 G microphones, the
gooseneck earth is not connected with the microphone earth to avoid
humming. Please note that depending on the application it could be
necessary to put the gooseneck earth on the same potential.
