Shure Microflex MX200 Series User manual

General Description
Shure Microflex®MX200 Series microphones are miniature electret condenser
microphones designed for miking choirs and performance groups. They are
typically suspended over the heads of the performers. Their high sensitivity
and wide frequency range make them suitable for recording, as well as sound
reinforcement applications. An attached 101 mm (4 in.) gooseneck allows
them to be easily aimed at the sound source.
• Wide dynamic range and frequency response for accurate sound repro-
duction
•Interchangeable cartridges that provide a choice of polar pattern for each
application
• White or black finish that blends unobtrusively with most surroundings
• RF filtering
Model Variations
Microflex MX202 microphones are available in black or white with a choice
of in-line preamplifier or plate-mount preamplifier.
The polar pattern of the included cartridge is indicated by a model number
suffix:
/C Cardioid
/S Supercardioid
/N Cartridge not included
Interchangeable Cartridges
Microflex microphones use interchangeable cartridges that allow you to choose the polar pattern for different installations.

RFI Filtering
Important: Microphones must be used with the RK100PK and RK202PK
plate-mounted preamp to optimize RF immunity.
Microphone Placement
The microphone is most stable when the gooseneck is bent into a "lazy S"
shape. Use the supplied hanging clip and heavy thread or monofilament
fishing line to suspend the microphone at a specific location.
• For choir installations, hang a microphone 0.6 to 0.9m (2 to 3 ft.) in front
of the first row, and 0.6 to 0.9m (2 to 3 ft.) over the heads of the singers
in the last row. Aim the microphone at the back row.
• When miking groups that move or vary in size, use a boom stand and
the supplied stand adapter.
• If four or more microphones will be open at once, an automatic mixer,
such as the Shure SCM810 or SCM410, is recommended. Set up the
automatic mixer so that all overhead microphones gate on simultaneously.

Use the two supplied mounting clamps to hold the preamp in place on a wall or ceiling.
Ceiling Tile Installation
1. Drill a 1/2 in. hole into the ceiling tile. CAUTION: To avoid tile damage, use a 1/2 in. augur bit and drill very slowly.
2. Unplug the mini 4-pin connector from the preamp and feed the cable through the hole.
3. Place the rubber grommet, tip down, over the cable and position it to suspend the microphone at the appropriate height.
4. Fit the grommet securely into the hole. For 5/8 in. ceiling tile, use the suppled washer.
5. Reconnect the preamp.
1/2"
Plate Mount Preamp Installation
The plate-mounted preamp allows you to mount the preamp in an electical box and use conduit to run cable through ceilings and walls.
1. Remove preamp housing by removing two phillips head screws.
2. Remove knock-out from the hole in the center of the cover plate (if present).
3. Cut cable to desired hanging length, allowing for a 76 to 101 mm (3 to 4 in.) service loop.
4. Clamp strain relief around cable and insert strain relief into hole in plate.
5. Connect cable leads to input terminal block (B = Black, R = Red, S = Shield).
6. Using professional-quality, two-conductor, shielded microphone cable, thread output cable from outside of preamp through hole with black bushing.
7. Connect cable to output terminal block (Pin 2 = +, Pin 3 = –, Shield = S).
8. Reattach the preamplifier housing.

ultra violet rays, and other chemical interactions. Once plastic has yellowed,
there typically is no cleaning method that will restore the whiteness.
