NOISE-CANCELING Dynamic Microphone

Model 562 User Guide

The Shure Model 562 is a noise-canceling dynamic microphone designed for voice applications in fixed-station paging and radio communications. It provides highly intelli- gible speech communication where high volume back- ground noise is present. The 562 has a smooth response and is ruggedly constructed to withstand a wide range of humidities and temperatures. With its standard 5/8"–27 thread mount, the 561 attaches directly to boom or a goose- neck with the cable concealed inside.

The frequency response and noise-canceling character- istics of the 562 make it ideal for language labs, paging applications in noisy environments, and base-station com- munications. It is also effective as a talkback or cuing micro- phone in TV, film, and recording studios. The 562's low impedance allows you to use long lengths of cable without affecting level or response characteristics.

562 specifications

The Shure 562 is a dynamic microphone renowned for its durability, reliability, and exceptional sound quality, making it a popular choice among professionals in the audio industry. It is particularly favored for live performances, broadcasting, and public speaking.

One of the standout features of the Shure 562 is its cardioid pickup pattern. This design effectively captures sound from the front while minimizing unwanted noise from the sides and rear, ensuring clear vocal reproduction. This characteristic is especially beneficial in live environments where background noise can be a concern. The microphone's frequency response is tailored to enhance vocal clarity, typically ranging from 50 Hz to 15 kHz, which helps deliver a natural sound that is distinct and present.

The Shure 562 is constructed with rugged materials, making it highly resistant to wear and tear. This robustness ensures that it can withstand the demands of rigorous touring schedules and challenging environments. Furthermore, its metal construction provides excellent protection against mechanical shocks and vibrations, preserving sound integrity over time.

A notable technology in the Shure 562 is its neodymium magnet, which contributes to its high output level and improved sensitivity. This allows the microphone to capture subtle nuances in vocals, making it suitable for a variety of applications, from professional singing to spoken word performances. Additionally, the microphone is equipped with a built-in pop filter that helps reduce plosive sounds, enhancing the quality of recorded audio.

The Shure 562 is also designed for versatility. It features a standard XLR connector, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment, from mixers to portable recorders. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for musicians, speakers, and audio engineers who require a dependable microphone that can adapt to different settings.

Another highlight is its low handling noise. Whether being held in hand or mounted on a stand, the Shure 562 minimizes vibrations and handling noise, allowing for clear audio capture without distracting sounds.

In summary, the Shure 562 is a dynamic microphone that embodies quality, durability, and versatility. With features such as a cardioid pickup pattern, neodymium magnet design, and rugged construction, it has earned its place as a reliable tool for audio professionals across various industries. Whether for live performances or studio recording, the Shure 562 remains a trusted option for capturing high-quality sound effectively.
