WARNING!
USING THIS SYSTEM AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES CAN CAUSE
PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE. USE AS LOW A VOLUME AS POSSIBLE.
In order to use this system safely, avoid prolonged listening at excessive sound pressure levels. Please use the fol-lowing guidelines
established by the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) on maximum time exposure to sound pressure levels before
hearing damage occurs.
90 dB SPL at 8 hours
95 dB SPL at 4 hours
100 dB SPL at 2 hours
105 dB SPL at 1 hour
110 dB SPL at 1/2 hour
115 dB SPL at 15 minutes
120 dB SPL — avoid or hearing damage may occur
It is difcult to measure the exact Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) present at the eardrum in live applications. In addition to the volume
setting on the PSM, the SPL in the ear is affected by ambient sound from oor wedges or other devices. The isolation provided by
the t of quality earphones is also an important factor in determining the SPL in the ear.
Here are some general tips to follow in the use of this product to protect your ears from damage:
1. Turn up the volume control only far enough to hear properly.
2. Ringing in the ears may indicate that the gain levels are too high. Try lowering the gain levels.
3. Have your ears checked by an audiologist on a regular basis. If you experience wax buildup in your ears, stop using the sys-
tem until an audiologist has examined your ears.
4. Wipe the earphones with an antiseptic before and after use to avoid infections. Stop using the earphones if they are causing
great discomfort or infection.

The PSM200 Personal Monitor System
The PSM200 is a frequency-agile, in-ear monitor system for
use in a wide variety of applications. Its many features help
overcome the difculties associated with stage monitoring.
The P2R Receiver is the world’s rst bodypack receiver to
function as a wired receiver, a wireless receiver, or both at the
same time. This and other unique features, along with excellent
sound quality, make the P2R an exceptional value.
The P2T TransMixer is another breakthrough design for in-ear
monitoring. It allows the user to connect two line-levelor mic–
level inputs directly into the transmitter. The two signals can
then be mixed independently. You can connect microphones or
instruments directly to the inputs, use line outputs from a mixing
console, or connect it to Shure’s Aux-Pander. In short, no matter
what the output device, you can probably plug it into the TransMixer.
The complete PSM200 System includes the Shure Earphones,
which feature Dynamic MicroSpeaker II that produces crisp,
full-spectrum sound. They include a variety of sleeve options
to provide the best t and isolation for your ears. All Shure
earphones, work well with CD players, MP3 players, and anything
else with a 1/8-inch (3.5mm) stereo output.
P2R Receiver
• Combination wired/wireless compatibility
• Gain switch for setting line input sensitivity
• 1/4-inch line-level input jack to connect monitor mix, click-
tracks, effects, or condenser microphones
• Integrated cable management groove secures cables con-
nected to the bodypack

9. SPLIT OUTs: Each male XLR output jack duplicates the
signal of the corresponding mic/line input. Front panel
settings have no effect on split output level.
Audio Inputs and Outputs
The INPUT knobs control both MIC and LINE level signals. As a
general guide-line, set the knob to the left of twelve o’clock for line
level signals, and to the right of twelve o’clock for microphone levels.
Observe the signal/clip LEDs. If they are consistently red, de-
crease the levelwith the corresponding INPUT knob.
NOTE: If the level is decreased all the way and the LED remains
red, the level of the input from the previous device in the audio
chain (mixer, click track, digital sequencer, etc.) is too high and
should be decreased.
To pass audio signal directly through the TransMixer, use the cor-
responding SPLIT OUT on the rear panel of the device. Input
setting do not affect the level of the signal at the SPLIT OUT
connectors.
* The P2T inputs have limiting circuitry that activates automati-
cally when the input level is too high.

Phantom Power
Although the TransMixer itself does not provide phantom power for condenser microphones, the SPLIT OUT connectors pass phan-
tom power from a phantom power supply to a microphone connected to the corresponding input jack. You can connect equipment
that supplies phantom power to the TransMixer without harming the unit.
CAUTION: Use a “direct box” when connecting guitars, keyboards, and other instruments to a mixing console through the
P2T. The phantom power that mixing consoles provide for microphones can damage other instruments. Connect the instru-
ment to the direct box then connect the direct box to the TransMixer input.
Selecting a Frequency Channel
1. Press and hold the SELECT button until the CHANNEL LED indicator begins to ash.
2. When the LED indicator is ashing, press the SELECT button to scroll to the desired frequency channel.
3. Release the button. After 4 seconds the display will stop ashing and the P2T will automatically switch to the specied channel.
IMPORTANT:
Never set more than ONE TransMixer to the same frequency channel, or interference will occur.

ENGLISH

Wireless Mode
When you are using the P2R as a wireless receiver, or as a combination wired and wireless receiver, use the SELECT button on the
side of the P2R Receiver to set the frequency channel (1-8).
To Select a Frequency Channel:
1. Press and hold the SELECT button until the CHANNEL LED indicator begins to ash.
2. When the LED indicator is ashing, press the SELECT button to scroll to the desired
frequency channel.
3. Release the button. After 4 seconds the display will stop ashing and the P2R will
automatically switch to the specied channel.
NOTE: Set the P2R to the same channel as the P2T TransMixer.
Wired Mode
When you are using the P2R Receiver as a stand-alone wired monitor, you can set the unit to
wired mode. This deactivates the RF circuitry and extends the battery life.
To Set the P2R to Wired Mode:
1. Press and hold the SELECT button until the CHANNEL LED indicator begins to ash.
2. When the LED indicator is ashing, press the SELECT button to scroll past channel 8 until the letter “A” appears in the display.
3. Release the button. After 4 seconds the display will stop ashing and the P2R will automatically switch to wired mode.
NOTE: Setting the P2R receiver to wired mode disables its wireless capability.
Scanner Mode
When you are using the P2R as a wireless receiver, Shure recommends that during set–up you rst scan for a frequency channel that
is free from interference:
1. Unplug the P2T TransMixer and turn off the P2R.
2. Hold down the P2R SELECT button while turning its volume knob past the click (ON).
3. Insert the earphones into your ears and slowly increase the P2R volume until you hear noise. The CHANNEL LED will blink to
conrm the unit is in Scanner Mode.
WARNING: Increase the volume slowly, as the noise may be loud.
4. Scroll through the eight available frequencies to locate a clear channel. A channel is clear if you hear uninterrupted whitenoise
from the P2R. Avoid channels that have no sound. This indicates interference on that frequency channel, which makes it unsuit-
able for use.
5. To exit scanner mode, simply turn off the P2R. When you turn the unit back on it will be set to the channel that you last
selected.
6. Set the P2T to the same channel as the P2R.
MIX IN Jack
When you are using the P2R Receiver as a stand-alone personal monitor, the 1/4-inch MIX IN jack serves as the primary audio input.
In addition, the MIX IN jack allows the P2R to function as a hybrid wired and wireless receiver. When you are using the P2R in its
wireless mode, you can add a second audio source via the MIX IN jack, such as.
• Click Tracks
• Pre-Amp Outputs from Guitar or Bass
• Effects Processors
• Condenser Microphones
Next to the jack is a two-position GAIN switch that gives you a choice between LO and HI gain settings for the input. For specic infor-
mation on how the MIX IN jack functions, refer to the wiring diagram on page 14.
LIM LED
The P2R Receiver has a non–defeatable (constantly active) limiter that automatically activates
if the receiver output level exceeds a certain volume, which is calibrated specically for the
Shure earphones. The LIM LED on the top of the unit lights up when the limiter is on. If the
LIM LED blinks occasionally, turn down the volume of the receiver.* If the LED is on and you
haven’t reached a high enough listening level, try re-inserting the earphones for a better seal,
or adjust the mix that is being sent to the receiver to include only the most essential inputs.**
* When the LED is on, the volume will not increase.
**The limiter is designed to work best with the Shure earphones. Using the P2R with other Shure earphones or earphones
made by other manufacturers, can result in higher limited volume levels.
