Operating Instructions
The GLM-100 and GLM-200 require 12 to 48V
phantom power to operate. Crown makes a model
PH-1A single-channel phantom supply powered
by battery or AC adapter. The adapter should
provide 24V DC from a 1/8-inch (3.5mm) phone
plug with positive tip. For special applications you
can make your own battery supply as suggested
in Figure 6.
Using a microphone cable, plug the GLM-100 or
GLM-200 into a phantom power supply. Connect
the power-supply output to a mixer mic input, or
if your mixer has phantom power built in, plug the
GLM directly into a mixer mic input.
For outdoor or vocal use, place the included GLM-
WS2 Windscreen on the microphone to reduce
wind noise and breath popping.
The front of the microphone is indicated by the
word “FRONT” on the microphone housing.
Although the cable is rugged, excessive abuse
such as tugging and twisting will shorten its life.
It should last indefi nitely if treated with care. The
cable has been kept short to allow easy wrapping
and to reduce the amount of thin cable on stage.
As with all electret condenser microphones, the
GLM should be kept out of hot environments
(greater than 130 degrees F or 54.5 degrees C).
Following this suggestion will ensure years of reli-
able performance from the mic capsule.
Suggestions for Use
Detailed GLM application notes are in the Crown
Microphone Application Guide available free from
your dealer, directly from Crown, or online at

Architects' and Engineers' Specifi cations
GLM-100
The microphone shall be the Crown GLM-100.The
microphone shall be an omnidirectional electret
condenser type requiring 12 to 48 volts phantom
powering. A smooth frequency response from 20
Hz to 20,000 Hz shall be obtained, with a uniform
off-axis response.The microphone shall have an
open-circuit sensitivity of 3.2 mV/Pa. A perma-
nently attached, 8 foot (2.5m), two-conductor,
shielded cable with 3-pin pro audio connector shall
be supplied with the microphone. The microphone
shall accept a 150 dB SPL input while providing no
greater than 3% THD (open circuit termination).
Equivalent noise shall be 28 dBA typical (0 dB =
.0002 dyne/cm
2 ). SPL for 3% THD shall be 150
dB. The Crown GLM-100 microphone is specifi ed.
GLM-200
The microphone shall be the Crown GLM-200.
The microphone shall be a hypercardioid electret
condenser type requiring 12 to 48 volts phantom
power. A smooth frequency response from 60 Hz
to 20,000 Hz shall be obtained, with a uniform
off-axis response. The microphone shall have an
open-circuit sensitivity of 6 mV/Pa. A permanently
attached, 8 foot (2.5m), two-conductor, shielded
cable with XLR-type connector shall be supplied
with the microphone. The microphone shall accept
a 131 dB SPL input while providing no greater
than 3% THD (open circuit termination). Equiva-
lent noise shall be 31 dBA typical (0 dB = .0002
dyne/cm
2 ). The Crown GLM-200 microphone is
specifi ed.
Warranty
Crown professional microphones are guaranteed
against malfunction for a period of three years
