Shure 562 Wiring and Installation, Noise-Cancellation, Polarity, Accessories, Replacement Parts

WIRING AND INSTALLATION

The 562 may be wired for balanced or unbalanced oper- ation. For unbalanced operation, the white cable wire is con- nected to the audio input, the black cable wire is connected to the audio ground, and the shield is connected to the chas- sis ground. See Table 1.

For balanced operation, the white cable wire is connected to the audio input positive (+), the black wire is connected to the audio negative (–), and the shield is connected to the chassis ground. See Table 1.

Once mounted to a stand or gooseneck, the 561 can be locked in place by tightening the setscrew over the mounting threads.

NOISE-CANCELLATION

The Model 562 cancels noise because of its frequency response and distance discrimination. By performing optimally in the frequency range between 100 and 6,000 Hz, the 562 avoids picking up noise outside this range. Its design also utilizes acoustic interference to reject sounds originating from a distance in favor of sounds originating from a near source.

To obtain optimal noise-canceling performance, the model 562 must be “close talked.” Place your lips as close to the microphone grille as comfort will permit. A distance between roughly 6 mm and 25 mm (1/4 in. and 1 in.) provides the greatest discrimination between speech and ambient noise.

POLARITY

If multiple microphones are in use simultaneously, they should be wired with common polarity. To determine whether two microphones have the same polarity, talk or sing into both while holding them 8 to 10 cm. apart. The volume of the amplified sound should remain the same whether the speaker is talking directly into either microphone, or is positioned equally between them. If the volume drops when talking into both microphones, they are wired with different polarity. The polarity of individual microphones may also be checked with polarity-checking devices.

To reverse the polarity of the 562, the BLACK and WHITE leads must be interchanged either at the microphone car- tridge (See Table 1) or at the amplifier or mixer input. This should be performed by your dealer, the Shure Factory Ser- vice Department, or other qualified service personnel.
