Input control 1 serves an additional function as the level
control for the tone oscillator when the INPUT 1/OCS 1
switch is in the OSC 1 position.
IMPORTANT: For optimum signal-to-noise ratio, the individual input controls should be operated at as high a setting as possible, consistent with maintaining adequate
control range and input clipping level.

CONTROLS AND CONNECTORS
WARNING
This apparatus must be earthed (grounded)! The
M267 power supply is energized when the unit is
connected to an ac source; disconnect mains
(power) plug from supply when not in use.

Master Gain Control
Inputs

The front-panel control designated MASTER is the master gain control which sets the overall output level of the
mixed sources (including signals applied to the MIX BUS
input).

The four inputs are professional three-pin female XLR
audio connectors located on the rear panel and designated
INPUT 1 through INPUT 4. The inputs are balanced (internal transformer, MUMETAL shielded); pins 2 and 3 are
“hot”, and pin 1 is “ground”. For microphone operation, the
switches labeled LINE/MIC (directly above the input connectors) must be in the MIC position; for line level inputs,
the switches must be in the LINE position. For impedance,
clipping and operating signal levels, refer to the SPECIFICATIONS section.

Limiter
The front-panel LIMITER IN/OUT switch turns on a fastacting, peak-responding limiter circuit that cuts overload
distortion during loud program intervals without affecting
normal program levels. When the LIMITER switch is IN
(operating), the mixer output is limited to approximately
+15dBm. Increasing the individual or MASTER gain controls will increase the average output and the amount of
limiting. The limiter threshold can be reset to any other output between –4 and +18 dBm if desired. With the limiter
switched OUT and tone oscillator activated, adjust INPUT
1 and MASTER level controls to produce an output 0.5 dB
higher than desired. Switch the limiter IN and set the LIMITER THRESHOLD ADJUST control (accessible though
the bottom of the chassis) for the desired level.

Outputs
The rear-panel connector labeled OUTPUT is a professional three-pin male XLR audio connector. With the adjacent LINE/MIC switch in the MIC position, the OUTPUT
connector is used to feed a low-impedance microphone
line or a low-impedance microphone input. With the LINE/
MIC switch in the LINE position, the OUTPUT connector
feeds the line-level input of an amplifier, tape recorder, or
another mixer. The OUTPUT connector is a balanced output with the LINE/MIC switch in either position; pin 1 is
ground, pins 2 and 3 are “hot”, and the connector is in
phase with the corresponding pins of the input connectors.

The front-panel PEAK LED indicator shows limiter operation with the limiter in, and operates when program levels approach overload with the limiter out. The indicator is
much faster than a meter and will be activated by the shortest transient peak, but it remains on long enough to provide
easy recognition.

The rear-panel binding-post connector designated LINE
OUTPUT is in parallel with the OUTPUT connector and
can be used as a line-level output feed simultaneously with
the OUTPUT connector. The terminals are numbered 2
and 3 and are in phase with the corresponding pins of the
input connectors. While the line outputs can be used to
drive various impedance lines, the VU meter is calibrated
for use with a 600 Ω line.

Low-Cut Filters
The low-cut filters provide a low-frequency rolloff to the
response curve as shown in Figure 2. The filters are activated by the LO-CUT IN/OUT switch above each individual
input gain control and can be used individually with each
control to reduce wind noise or undesirable low-frequency
signals such as from condenser microphones or turntable
rumble.

The line output transformer will operate properly with up
to 100 mA dc in the line. This feature permits the use of
standard “dialed-up” telephone lines with dc across them.
(Since a slight distortion increase may occur at high output
levels with maximum dc current, operation with the VU
RANGE switch at +4 dBm is recommended.)

Input Gain Controls

–10

The front-panel controls designated 1 through 4 are the individual active gain controls for correspondingly numbered
inputs. Note that the input connectors are located on the rear
panel directly behind their corresponding gain control. The
controls set the preamplifier gain and provide preamplifier
output attenuation. As the gain is reduced, the preamplifier
input clipping level is increased for that channel.

Mix Bus

Phantom Power

Direct access to the mixing bus is provided through the
rear-panel MIX BUS phono pin jack. This provision is made
primarily to facilitate stacking or “multing” M267s to
achieve additional input capacity without losing any inputs.
With two M267s, for example, the two mixing buses are directly connected, providing two independent master gain
controls and two isolated line amplifiers with eight individually controlled inputs. Since the buses are directly paralleled, a 6 dB drop in gain will occur; and the master or input
controls must be increased to compensate. Noise specifications are not adversely affected by this interconnection.
Mix bus interconnection can also be made with other
Shure mixers, such as the M268, FP42. etc.

The rear-panel PHANTOM OFF/ON switch controls the
application of phantom power for condenser microphones,
such as the Shure SM81 and SM87A, to all inputs. With
the switch on and the rear-panel MIC/LINE switches in the
MIC positions, +30 Vdc is applied to pins 2 and 3 of each
input connection. Series current-limiting resistance is 3.3
kΩ for each input. When using other condenser microphones with the M267, verify that the voltage and resistance requirements are compatible.
Note that the phantom power cannot normally be applied to the inputs with the MIC/LINE switches in the LINE
position.
IMPORTANT: Do not turn the PHANTOM switch on when
using unbalanced low-impedance microphones; objectionable hum will result. Turn off the PHANTOM switch
when condenser microphones are not being used.
Use only high-quality cable. Intermittent shorts between
broken shield wires and balanced conductors will cause offensive noise transients in the system.

VU Meter
The VU meter is factory-calibrated for use with a 600 Ω
terminated line. The VU RANGE switch on the rear panel
selects either a +4 or +8 dBm output at 0 VU meter indication. (This switch changes the meter indication but does
not change the actual output level.) Microphone output
levels are 50 dB below line output. The +4 range is recommended for normal use to provide approximately 14 dB of
headroom from operating level to clipping level.

BATTERY OPERATION AND EXTERNAL POWERING
In addition to ac operation, the M267 can be operated
from an internal battery pack. Current drain is typically 17
mA at +8 dBm output level and typically 15 mA at + 4 dBm.
Battery power is recommended both for remote, on-location operation, and as an emergency backup source in
case of failure of the ac power.

The VU meter is illuminated by two No. 86 lamps operating well under their normal ratings for a life expectancy of
greater than 10,000 hours. The lamps are only lit during
ac operation. Consequently, the illumination serves as a
visual alarm if the ac is interrupted and the unit has
switched to battery.

Access to the battery compartment is provided at the
bottom of the chassis. Three 9-volt alkaline batteries power the M267 at full rated output. Use alkaline batteries for
maximum life. Duracell MN1604A or Eveready 522 are
recommended. Battery life is approximately 20 hours at +4
dBm continuos use. Note that battery operation with phantom power loads and high level headphone monitoring will
increase battery drain.

The VU meter is connected on the primary side of the
output transformer to assure protection from any dc level
on a telephone line.
Headphones
The headphone outlet appears at the front-panel jack
panel designated PHONES. The two-circuit phone jack
will accommodate most stereo or mono headphones. The
output level is sufficient to provide high volume for use in
noisy environments.

With batteries in the battery compartment, the M267 will
automatically and silently switch to battery operation
should the ac voltage fall below a suitable level. If the ac
power fails completely, the VU meter lamps will go out, providing a visual indication of line failure.

Note that the headphone output level is also high
enough to use as an auxiliary unbalanced line feed to drive
a tape deck or a power amplifier.

Battery condition can be determined by using the BATT
CHECK switch on the front panel. Activate the BATT
CHECK switch and observe the VU meter. A new set of
batteries will give about a +2 VU indication. Battery condition is good if the reading is above 0 VU; a lower reading
means that new batteries are required for proper operation. Note that the M267 power switch must be turned on
to check battery condition.

The tip and ring connections of the headphone plugs are
in phase with pin 3 of all input and output connectors, and
with the tip of the MIX BUS jack.
Tone Oscillator
The highly stable, low-distortion tone oscillator provides
for line test and level checks. The oscillator is instantly activated by the front-panel INPUT 1/OSC 1 switch; its level
can then be controlled by the INPUT 1 gain control on the
front panel. The tone oscillator frequency is 1,000 Hz, and
the signal appears on both the line and microphone outputs, as well as the headphone and mix bus connectors.
The oscillator should be switched off (INPUT 1 position)
when not in use.

Telephone Interconnection
When using the M267 connected directly to a telephone
line, check to see whether the local telephone company requires an interface coupler between the M267 and the telephone line. If a coupler is required, make certain the coupler selected and the wiring arrangement are in
compliance with the telephone company regulations.

line subject to lightning-induced voltage surges, the following commercially available part can be installed across the
