NOTE: When interconnecting the FP24 and FP33, inputs from the FP24 appear at the FP33 mixbus with their polarity reversed. (This is unavoidable due to the nature of the interconnection.) To avoid cancellation or interference effects (e.g., comb filtering) be- tween the signals from the FP24 and FP33 inputs, use Shure A15PRS polarity inverters on the FP24 inputs, or do one of the fol- lowing:

Keep microphones connected to the FP24 as far away as possible from those connected to the FP33.

For microphones that must be close together (such as those in a stereo pair), connect them to the same mixer.

NOTE: If constructing your own FP24/FP33 interconnect cable:

Keep cable length to a minimum, since the interconnection is unbalanced.

Be sure to drive the FP33 mix bus off of pin 2 of the FP24 since the FP24 inputs are reverse polarity with respect to FP33 inputs.
