INTRODUCTION The Shure Model WH30 is a light yet rugged headset microphone. Designed for vocalists and instrument-playing vocalists, the WH30 utilizes a high quality electret-condenser cartridge suitable for all applications where mobility, comfort, low microphone-visibility, and high sound quality are required. Because of its cardioid (unidirectional) pickup pattern, the WH30 provides isolation from extraneous sound sources and high gain-before-feedback.
MICROPHONE PARTS The WH30 consists of the following parts (see Figure 1). WH30 HEADSET MICROPHONE PARTS FIGURE 1 COLLAPSIBLE MICROPHONE BOOM The WH30 headset features a collapsible boom for shipment and storage. Before wearing the headset, unfold the boom by rotating it away from the wireframe until it snaps into place. Refold for storage or transportation.
WEARING THE HEADSET Place the headset wireframe around your head so that the elastic headband band lay horizontally across the back of your head and the ends of the wireframe fit over your ears. You may position the elastic headband either above or below the wireframe for the greatest comfort and stability. The blue “SHURE” logo should face outward (see Figure 2).
ADJUSTING THE HEADSET • If the headset feels loose or uncomfortable, carefully bend the sides of the wireframe to make it tighter or looser (see Figure 4A). The angle of the wireframe earpieces may also need adjustment (see Figure 4B). ADJUSTING THE WIREFRAME FIGURE 4 • Adjust the tension of the elastic headband across the back of the head by sliding it up or down the ends of the wireframe (see Figure 5).
CONNECTING THE WH30 TO A SOUND SYSTEM Wireless Applications (WH30TQG) 1. Connect the mini TA4F connector from the WH30 to a wireless microphone transmitter such as the Shure T1 bodypack transmitter. 2. See the user guide for your wireless transmitter and receiver system for adjusting gain and other parameters. Wired Applications (WH30XLR) Connect the output of the RPM420 preamplifier to an input channel of a mixing or recording console. Most consoles will provide phantom power to the RMP420 preamplifier.
4. Rinse the windscreen in clean water and dry it with a clean cloth or paper towel. Allow it to air-dry thoroughly. 5. When the windscreen is dry, slide it over the WH30 microphone until the retaining ring snaps into place.
