SHURE SM35 Performance Headset Condenser Microphone
SM35 Headworn Microphone
The Shure SM35 is a headworn electret condenser microphone, intended for use with a wireless bodypack transmitter in live stage performances.
Wearing the Microphone
- Install the windscreen on the microphone boom.
- Place the headband around the back of the head, with the boom on the left side.
- Place the microphone at the corner of the mouth. To decrease pops and plosives, avoid placing the microphone directly in front of the mouth


Note: Do not store the microphone in damp, enclosed spaces. Allow perspiration to dry completely before storing.
RPM400 Preamplifiers
The RPM400 preamplifiers offer exceptional dynamic range utilizing an active gain circuit in a concise and small package. They are offered in two connector versions: TA4F and LEMO, which allows you to quickly take a wireless TL microphone and make it a wired solution. These preamplifiers require phantom power and can efficiently operate across a wide range of supply voltages from 12-48v.
Features
- Active circuit design with neutral gain mimics wireless for consistent gain output across wired or wireless applications.
- High RF immunity against unwanted interference.
- Short, compact design.
- Belt clip and table mounting kits for easy placement for a variety of applications.
Certifications
Note: Testing is based on the use of supplied and recommended cable types. The use of other than shielded (screened) cable types may degrade EMC performance.
