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.
