Shure 300 is a moving ribbon microphone suitable for critical sound reinforcement applications like broadcasting or recording studios. It has a wide range frequency response of 40 to 15,000 Hz and a bidirectional polar pattern that makes it ideal for across-the-table interviews or dialogue or combined pickup of facing instrumental groups as it reduces side pickup. The microphone features a Voice/Music switch that provides either flat or rolled off low frequency response and an impedance-selection switch that allows choice of three rated impedances.

GENERAL
The Model 300 ribbon microphone is a rugged
stand-mounted unit with a wide range frequency re-
sponse and a bidirectional polar pattern. The Model
300 is an excellent choice for broadcasting or record-
ing studios as well as for critical sound reinforcement
applications. The microphone's symmetrical front and
rear pickup and its greatly reduced side pickup make
it ideal for such uses as across-the-table interviews
or dialogue, stages with loudspeakers directly to the
side or overhead, and combined pickup of facing in-
strumental groups in recording studios.
The Model 300 is supplied with a
Voice/Music
switch that provides either flat or rolled off low fre-
quency response and with an impedance-selection
switch allowing choice of three rated impedances:
"L"-38 ohms, "Mu-150 ohms, and "H"-high im-
pedance.
A
built-in vibration isolator and internal
ribbon protection make the microphone suitable for a
wide variety of applications.
Microphone Features:
Ribbon microphone with wide range response
m
Switch selectable flat or rolled off low end
Bidirectional polar pattern, ideal for interviews

Internal ribbon protection assures reliable opera-
tion under rigorous operating conditions
Built-in vibration isolator and lifetime swivel
