SM63 — Handheld Microphone
General Description
Elegant, yet rugged, the high output SM63 series dynamic omnidirectional microphones are designed for profes sional applications where performance and appearance are critical. Their smooth, wide frequency response is tai lored for optimum speech intelligibility, and includes a controlled low-frequency rolloff for reduced pickup of stand and wind noise. A built-in humbucking coil makes the microphones virtually immune to strong hum fields, such as those produced by studio lighting.
The three models differ only in length and color. The champagne-finished SM63 is designed for hand-held use on stage and in broadcast, recording, and television studios. The champagne-finished SM63L and the black-finished SM63LB are ideal for remote interviews, sports broadcasts, and other situations where longer microphones are desirable.
All three models use a patented Shure shock mount system to minimize handling noise. They also include a VER AFLEXTM grille that protects against damage from a drop of up to 2 meters (6 ft.), and is impervious to dents, rust, corrosion, and moisture. An integral pop filter effectively reduces breath noise. The SM63L and SM63LB include a twostage windscreen accessory designed for outdoor use. All models are supplied with a stand adapter and zip pered storage bag. Cables are available separately.
