Shure PG27-USB manual Monitoring While Recording, Gain Adjustment, Pad Switch

Monitoring While Recording

The headphone jack provides direct monitoring of the microphone signal while recording, without any of the delay that occurs if you were to monitor this signal through the computer’s headphone output.

Warning: Turn the VOLUME control down before plugging in headphones

You can also monitor previously recorded tracks while recording a new track. Adjust the MONITOR thumb slider to balance levels from pre-recorded and live audio.

Note: Be sure to turn off monitoring in your software for the track to which you are recording.

Gain Adjustment

For maximum audio quality, set the MIC GAIN as high as possible. The peak level indicator should remain a steady green while recording, flickering yellow at the highest sound volumes.

Lower the MIC GAIN if the peak level indicator shows red at any time during a performance.

Pad Switch

The pad switch helps prevent distortion from extremely loud sources, such as when close-miking horns or drums.
