Your new Shure Close-Talking Microphone is probably different from any other microphone you have ever used. Unlike most uni- and omnidirectional microphones, the PE52 is designed for extremely close operation at % to 2% cm ( % to 1 in.) from the performer under conditions of very high sound levels. When properly used, the microphone will provide highquality vocal sound while canceling distant sounds such as high-power musical instruments, stage monitor speakers, enthusiastic audiences, or other background noise. The result is clear, distinct vocal reproduction with minimal pickup of instruments, monitors or audience, even when the performer cannot hear himself! Also, because the microphone is inherently directional and discriminates against unwanted sounds arriving from a distance in favor of sounds arriving from a near source, it helps control acoustic feedback (that very annoying loudspeaker screech 3r howl). In addition, the microphone has two special filters which provide protection against wind, blast and "pop" (explosive breath sounds). This means that despite the microphone's close working distance, these noises have virtually no effect on microphone performance.
