Preamp Gain
If necessary, the preamplifier gain can be reduced by 12 dB. Contact an authorized Shure service center for information.
Microphone Placement
Aim the microphone toward the desired source, such as the talker.
Aim it away from any unwanted source, such as a loudspeaker.
Place the microphone within 15 to 30cm (6 to 12 in.) of the desired sound source.
Always use the supplied windscreen or optional metal windscreen to control breath noise.
If four or more microphones will be open at the same time, use of an automatic mixer, such as the Shure SCM810 or
SCM410, is recommended.
Permanent Installation
Mount the microphone using one of the following methods.

Flange
Drill a 22 mm (7/8 in.) diameter hole in the desired location.
Trace and drill three starter holes for the supplied screws using the flange as a template.
Insert the preamplifier through the mounting flange.
Slip the mounting flange retaining ring over the bottom of the preamplifier and slide it up until it is flush to the bottom of
the flange. Then press the ring firmly into place.
Secure the flange to the mounting surface with three screws.
Shock Mount
Drill a 44mm(1-3/4 in.) diameter hole in desired mounting surface.
Mark and drill starter holes for screws, using shock mount as a template.
Secure shock mount to mounting surface with screws.
Thread the supplied adapter onto the MX400 microphone before inserting it into the shock mount.
