GENERAL
The Shure Models 515SBG and 515SB-GI8 UNI-
DYNE'? B Microphones are low-impedance units de-
signed specifically for flexible gooseneck application.
The microphones are moving coil units providing good
reproduction of music and voice.

UNIDYNE~ B
These microphones are particularly suitable for use
in language lab systems, paging applications, and
base station communications. They are highly recom-
mended for talkback and cuing from professional
control rooms in TV, film, and recording studios, and
other uses demanding a customized installation with
concealed cables.
i
Features:
True cardioid pickup pattern: symmetrical about
axis and uniform at all frequencies
Response especially effective for announcing,
narration, paging and music
Cartridge shock-mounted for quiet operation
R Built-in, non-locking, push-to-talk switch con-
trols both microphone circuit and relay or
control circuit
R Dependability and ruggedness under all oper-
ating conditions
A 457 mm (18 in.) flexible gooseneck and a con-
venient mounting flange supplied with the Model

MOUNTING
To mount the 515SBG microphone on a gooseneck
having a
5/8"-27 thread, unscrew black end cap from
microphone (see Figure 1-A), remove adjacent thin
metal washer and one metal spacer from terminating
end of cable. Slide the thin metal washer removed
previously onto cable up into end of microphone. Slip
gooseneck over cable and install into end of micro-
phone.

CONNECTIONS
The microphones are low impedance for connec-
tion to microphone inputs rated at 19 to
300 ohms.
The balanced line low-impedance connection is rec-
ommended where long cable lengths are required or
under conditions of severe hum disturbance. The
permissible cable length is practically unlimited, since
neither response nor level is appreciably affected.
With reference to Figure
2, BLACK and RED are the
"hot" conductors for balanced line connections to a
low-impedance amplifier, the shield is connected to
the amplifier ground. For unbalanced low-impedance
operation, the shield and RED lead should be con-
nected together. The BLACK lead is then the "hot"
lead. The
GREEN and WHITE conductors are used to
control an external relay or control circuit. It should
be noted that hum susceptibility is increased in un-
balanced low-impedance operation.

FllGURE 2
Shure Model A95 Series Line Matching Transformers
are available for use in those cases where a low-imped-
ance microphone line is desirable but the associated
amplifier has a high-impedance input. These trans-
formers provide a proper impedance match between a
19-300 ohm microphone line and
a high-impedance
input, and are available with various input and output
connectors.

Important: Shure microphone cables are selected
after exhaustive tests to insure superior performance
in microphones because of low capacities, superior
shielding properties and unusually long life under
severe use.
Cables with plastic insulation should not be sub-
jected to excessive soldering-iron heat. Carefully clean
and tin the conductors and the connections to which
the conductors are to be soldered. The soldering
operation can then be done with a minimum of heat,
thereby avoiding any possibility of damage to the
cable.
ARCHITECTS' SPECIFICATION
The microphone shall be the Shure Model 515SBG,
515SB-GI8 or equivalent. The microphone shall be a
moving coil (dynamic) microphone with a frequency
response of 80 to 13,000 Hz. This unit shall have a
cardioid polar characteristic. The cancellation at the
sides shall be approximately 6 dB, and the cancella-
tion at the rear shall be 15 to 20 dB. The microphone
shall be low impedance with a rated impedance of 150
ohms for connection to microphone inputs rated at
19 to 300 ohms. The microphone output shall be
-60 dB where 0 dB
= 1 milliwatt with 10 microbars.
The microphone shall be equipped with a built-in, non-
locking, push-to-talk switch.
The Model 515SBG shall be suitable for mounting on
a gooseneck having a %"-27 thread. The microphone
shall have a 1.8m (70 in.) four-conductor (twoshielded)
cable. The overall microphone dimensions shall be
159 mm (6-1/4 in.) in length and 37.3 mm (1-15/32 in.)
in diameter.
The Model 515SB-GI8 shall be mounted on a flexible
gooseneck having a mounting flange. The microphone
shall have a 1.3m (51 in.) four-conductor (two shielded)
cable extending from the gooseneck. The overall di-
mensions shall be 635 mm (25 in.) in length and
37.3 mm (1-15/32 in.) in diameter.
