Neoprene feet prevent microphone slipping
PRESS-TO-TALK SWITCH OPERATION
The fingertip control bar is a non-locking switch;
simply depress the control bar and release after trans-
mission.
CONNECTIONS
Figure 1 shows the internal wiring of the 550L
microphone. The 550L is designed for balanced-line,
low-impedance operation. The WHITE and GREEN
cable leads are the two conductors for the microphone
circuit; the shield is connected to the amplifier or chas-
sis ground. The RED and BLACK leads control an ex-
ternal relay or switching circuit.
MODEL 550L
OMNIDIRECTIONAL DYNAMIC
BASE STATION MICROPHONE
TRANSMIT
The Shure 550L is a dynamic base station micro-
phone with a frequency response specially tailored for
voice intelligibility. It is equally useful for radio commu-
nications, paging and dispatching systems, and its
low-impedance connection makes it adaptable to most
PA amplifiers. The low-impedance design also makes
itusefulforlongruns, orunderseverehumdisturbance

The microphone is not affected by heat or humidity.
Its exclusive ARMO-DURR case is immune to oil,
grease, fumes, salt spray, sun, rust, and corrosion
—and is outstanding in its ability to resist mechanical
shocks and vibration. The “Million-Cycle” leaf-type
switch is designed to withstand rigorous operating
conditions and constant use.
INTERNAL CONNECTIONS
FIGURE 1
Low-impedance operation is extremely useful
where long cable lengths are required, or under condi-
tions of severe hum disturbance. The permissible
cable length is practically unlimited, since neither re-
sponse nor level is appreciably affected. Shure A95
Series Line Matching Transformers are available for
use in those cases where a low-impedance micro-
phone is to be used with an amplifier with a high-
impedance input. These transformers provide a proper
impedance match between a 19- to 300-ohm micro-
phone and a high-impedance input, and are available
with various input and output connectors.
