PRODUCT INFORMATION SHM 803 - 815

Thank you for selecting the condenser microphone of the
SHM 803 - 815 series. Please take some time to read carefully
through this product information before setting up the
equipment.

Applications

The SHM 803 - 815 is a pencil-style shotgun microphone
with a hypercardioid polar response giving very high gain-before-
feedback properties and isolation from ambient and reflected
noise sources. Applications for this gooseneck microphone include
conference facilities and boardrooms where the microphone
can be lectern mounted or positioned on a table.

Connection and Setting up

• The SHM 803 - 815 is fitted with a 3-pin male XLR connector,
3-pin female XLR coupling or a jack plug (Nexus). The
microphone can be used with any balanced microphone
input supplying phantom power. Cables suitable for balanced
audio inputs must be used (twin-conductor plus screen).
• The microphone must be positioned so that it points directly
to the sound source which, in most applications will be a
speaker and the microphone should be positioned about
30 cm from the mouth for optimum performance.
• The pickup angle is constant; even at high frequencies and
within an angle of ± 40° the sound will remain at an even
level. Outside this angle the SHM 803 - 815 has been designed
so that the sensitivity of the microphone decreases considerably.

Maintenance

For cleaning the gooseneck microphone use a soft damp
cloth. If necessary you can use a mild cleansing agent (such as
washing-up liquid). Do not use any solvent agents and make
sure that no water enters the transducer element.
