MODELS SM63, SM63L, AND SM63LB
DYNAMIC MICROPHONES
Elegant, yet rugged, the high output SM63 series dynamic
omnidirectional microphones are designed for professional
applications where performance and appearance are critical.
Their smooth, wide frequency response is tailored 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 cham-
pagne-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 sys-
tem to minimize handling noise. They also include a VERA-
FLEXt 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 two–stage
windscreen accessory designed for outdoor use. All models
are supplied with a stand adapter and zippered storage bag.
Cables are available separately.
