UNIDIRECTIONAL DYNAMIC MICROPHONES

MODEL 565D-LC

GENERAL

The UNISPHEREQ I Models and 5653B are dual-
impedance unidirectional dynamic microphones ship-
ped connected for low-impedance operation. The
microphones have a strong, wire-mesh spherical front
grille that contains a very effective filter designed to
provide excellent protection from wind and pop" (ex-
plosive breath sounds). Either unit provides wide range
reproduction of music and voice-can be effectively
used outdoors and indoors.

The UNISPHERE | is ideal for use by professional
entertainers in high-quality theater-stage sound
systems and recording, as well as in critical public ad-
dress systems such as those used in political conven-
tions and legislatures, convention halls, hotels, public
auditoriums, stadiums, cathedrals, and churches.

The UNISPHERE I features an exceptionally uniform
pickup pattern-provides an effective solution to feed-
back problems in reverberant locations, permits best
utilization of space in small studios, facilitates or-
chestral placement, and provides practically complete
exclusion of unwanted noises.

Model 565D is designed for applications where a
switch is not required. Model 56580 is equipped with a
magnetic reed On-Off switch.

VARIATIONS

Model 565$D-CN: Supplied with cable, professional
three-pin audio connector on equipment and of cable.
(See Specifications for details on cable.)

Model 565SD-LC: Same as Model 565$D-CN, except
supplied without cable.

Model SGSD-LC: Supplied without switch or cable.

Microphone Features:

I Wire-mesh screen and built-in filter provides protec-
tion from wind and pop (explosive breath sounds).
Enables singers and speakers to perform close to the
microphone

I Unusually effective oardioid pickup pattern reduces
feedback (annoying loudspeaker squeals) and
prevents echoing (boominess) that sometimes oc-
curs in partially filled halls. Can also be used closer
to loudspeakers than usual without creating feed-
back problems

I Excellent reproduction of voice and music

I Shock-mounted cartridge for quiet operation

I Quick, neat, solderless impedance selection

I Built-in long-life magnetic reed On-Off switch (565$D)

I Rugged professional three-pin audio connector on
the microphone

I Strong, detachable cable especially selected for
effective shielding from hum pickup (565$D-CN)

I Versatility-for use in the hand or on a stand-in-
doors or outdoors

I Available in three versions: without switch or cable
(56BD-LC), with switch and three-pin professional
audio connector on equipment end of cable (56530-
CN), and with switch but without cable (565$D-LC)

Impedance

Dual. Microphone rating impedance is 150 ohms (250
ohms actuai) for connection to microphone inputs
rated at 19 to 300 ohms and High for connection to
high-impedance microphone inputs.

Wired for low impedance as supplied. To change im-
pedance, see sections on Impedance Selection and
Connections.

Phaslng
Positive pressure on diaphragm produces positive

high impedance (with respect to pin 3). See Figure 5.

IMPEDANCE SELECTION

The microphones are shipped connected for low-
impedance operation. To change to high impedance
(see Figures 4 and 5), proceed as follows:

1. Remove plug element at receptacle and of
microphone by turning slotted setscrew in
(counterclockwise) and carefully withdrawing plug
element from case.

2. Disconnect 2-terminal impedance selection socket
from rear of plug element.

3. Reconnect 2-terminal impedance selection socket in
reverse position so that pin 3 of plug element is in-
serted in socket terminal "H.

4. Reassemble plug element into microphone and seat
setscrew securely by turning out (clockwise).
