GENERAL
The Model 588SD Unisphere Microphone is a ball-
type dual-impedance, cardioid(unidirectional) dynamic
unit that provides excellent reproduction of voice and
music. Its spherical grille is a very effective wind and
pop filter especially good when used for closeup vocal
miking. This microphone is highly suited for speech or
music pickupinschools, churches, and meeting rooms,
and for sound reinforcement, broadcast,or recording of
small musical groups. Its unidirectional polar pattern
greatly reduces feedback problems, permitting opera-
tion closer than usual to loudspeakers without the an-
noying squeal or howl caused by feedback.
The microphone is equipped with a combination
OnlOff and Im~edance-Selectionswitch with a
lockplate preven'ting inadvertent switching to the
undesired impedance. A slip-in swivel adapter is sup-
plied for the convenience of either handheld or stand-
mounted use. The microphone is supplied without a
cable, packaged as Model 588SD-LC.
Microphone Features:
Wide frequency response designed for faithful, in-
telligible, and natural pickup of voice or music
Symmetrical cardioid pickup pattern minimizes
feedback
Spherical grille provides effective filtering out of
breath popping, when used for closeup vocals, and
of wind noise, when used outdoors
Rolled-off low-frequency response reduces prox-
imity effect (response rise from microphones used
closeup)
Shock-mounted cartridge for quiet operation, low
stand or handling noise
Combination OnlOff and Impedance-Selection
switch, with provision for locking out undesired im-
pedanceand locking switch On
Slip-in swivel adapter for easy positioning and for
simple handheldor stand-mounted use
Three-pinprofessional audioconnector, the industry
standard, for maximum interchangeabilityof cables
Field serviceable, and backed by the Shure
guarantee

IMPEDANCESELECTION AND SWITCH LOCKING
The microphone isshipped with the switch locked in
the low-impedance(LO Z) position.
A. To lock the switch "On" in low impedance,
1. Loosen the screw holding the lockplate.
2. Move the switch button to "On."
3. Slide the lockplate up until the notch butts
against the button.

PHASING
To test two microphones for proper phasing, connect
them to an amplifier and talk or sing into them while
holdingthem three or four inchesapart. The sound from
,
the speakers should be the same when talking into
1
either microphone or directly between them if they are
in phasewith each other. If the sound drops drastically
or if a dead spot isfound when talking between the two
microphones, the microphones are out of phase. All
microphones should be tested in this manner to insure
that they are in phase with each other.
To change the phase of a balanced low-impedance
microphone, interchange the cable conductor leads at
one end of the cable. To change the phase in the
microphone,the microphone cartridge leads must be in-
terchanged (see Figure 6). This should be performed by
your dealer, the Shure Factory Service Department, or
other qualified service personnel.
