Polarity

WH20QTR as a wired microphone: Positive sound pressure on diaphragm produces pos- itive voltage on tip with respect to sleeve (ground) of microphone output phone plug connector.

WH20QTR, WH20TQG used with Shure Wireless Systems:

1/4-inch Phone Jack Receiver Outputs: Positive sound pressure on diaphragm produc- es positive voltage on tip of receiver output connector.

3-pin XLR Receiver Outputs: Positive sound pressure on diaphragm produces positive voltage on pin 2 with respect to pin 3 of low-impedance output connector, and on tip of Aux output connector.
