SHURE 515BSDX Cardioid Handheld Microphone for Fixed Mounting and Paging with Locking On/Off Switch and Switchable Impedance
The Shure 515SDX is a dual-impedance, cardioid (unidirectional) dynamic microphone that is suitable for speech pickup in schools, churches and meeting rooms. Its unidirectional polar pattern greatly reduces feedback. The 515SDX includes a locking ON/OFF switch and an internal impedance selection socket mounted on the XLR connector for switching between high and low impedance. A slip-in swivel adapter is supplied for stand-mounted use.
- Rolled-off low-frequency response combined with a smooth high-frequency rise for clear and intelligible voice pickup
- Symmetrical cardioid pickup pattern minimizes feedback
- Neodymium magnet for high signal-to-noise ratio
- Shock-mounted cartridge that minimizes handling noise
- Lockable ON/OFF switch
- Dual impedance selectable by internal socket
- Slip-in swivel adapter for stand-mounted use
- Three-pin professional audio connector, the industry standard, for maximum interchangeability of cables
