Placement
MX890 Microphone Placement
Place the MX890 no more than 25 cm (1 ft.) from the edge of the table. Aim
the microphone toward the talker and away from loudspeakers and noise
sources. Use one microphone for each talker. Pickup angle with a cardioid
cartridge is 130° at –3 dB. Pickup angle with a supercardioid cartridge is 115°
at –3 dB.
Note: To minimize RF interference, maintain a distance of at least 0.3
m (1 ft.) between transmitters. In case of interference, increase the dis-
tance between transmitters or change channels.
MX690 Microphone Placement
Place the MX690 within 1.5 m (5 ft.) of a talker. Aim the microphone toward the
talkers and away from loudspeakers and noise sources. Use one microphone
for every two talkers. Pickup angle with a cardioid cartridge is 130° at –3 dB.
Note: To minimize RF interference, maintain a distance of at least 0.3
m (1 ft.)
Locking Settings
Press ON/OFF and SELECT simultaneously to lock or unlock transmitter set-
tings. When locked, the current settings cannot be manually changed.
Note: Locking the transmitter settings does not disable IR frequency
synchronization or the High Pass/Low Cut filter.
Logic Mode
To use with a logic enabled receiver, you must perform an automatic sync.
The LCD flashes "log" during sync. Once in logic mode, the LCD flashes
"log" when powered up.
Automatic Frequency Synchronization
1. Power off all transmitters.
2. Begin with the first transmitter. Open the battery cover and power it on.
3. Begin with the first transmitter. Open the battery cover and power it on.
4. Aim the IR sensor at the first receiver IR port. The transmitter should be no more
than 15 cm (6 in.) from the receiver. Press and hold the receiver SYNC button to send
group and channel data to the transmitter. The red LED on the transmitter will stop
flashing when programming is complete.
5. Power off the first transmitter and repeat the synchronization with each additional
transmitter and receiver pair.
Manual Frequency Synchronization
1. Press and hold the transmitter SELECT button until the desired group number
appears.
2. Press SELECT again and release it when the desired channel number appears.
Tips for Optimum Performance
• Maintain a direct line of sight between the transmitter and receiver
antennas.
• Avoid placing the transmitter on metal surfaces.
• Avoid placing laptop computers or other obstructions in front of the
microphone during use.
• Only use with a Shure SLX4L wireless receiver.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter difficulty with the SLX Wireless System
• Make sure both the transmitter and the receiver are turned on.
• Replace the battery if the battery LED is red.
• Make sure the Group/Channel settings for each transmitter-receiver pair are
identical.
• Make sure there is an unobstructed line of sight between the transmitter and
receiver.
• If necessary, reposition the receiver or decrease the distance between
transmitter and receiver.
• Remove local sources of RF interference, such as computers or lighting
equipment.
• Remove metal objects within 0.3 m (1 ft.) of the transmitter
Note: Refer to the SLX Wireless System User Guide for complete
troubleshooting procedures.
Frequency Selection
Shure offers wireless systems in a selection of bands that conform to the dif-
ferent government regulations of specific nations or geographic regions. These
regulations help limit radio frequency (RF) interference among different wire-
less devices and prevent interference with local public communications chan-
nels, such as television and emergency broadcasts.
The system's band and frequency range are identified on the receiver and
transmitter. For example, "H4 518-578 MHz."
For information on bands available in your area, consult your local dealer or
phone Shure. More information is also available at www.shure.com.
