GENERAL

The Shure Model 526T Series II SUPER PUNCH



base

station microphone is designed for clearer transmission and
improved reliability. This transistorized microphone can be
used to replace ceramic or dynamic, high- or low-impedance
microphones supplied as original equipment.

Model 526T Series II provides crisp, undistorted voice re-

sponse with adjustable volume control for optimum intelligi-
bility of transmission.

The microphone is designed for maximum versatility in

base station operation. It has a momentary or locking press-
to-talk transmit/receive switch for greatest ease of use, and
a modulation level volume control for highest undistorted
output with high- or low-impedance inputs. The supplied six-
wire cable and triple-pole double-throw switch are arranged
for universal microphone-transceiver connection.

The microphone is not affected by heat or humidity, and it

is oustanding in its ability to resist mechanical shocks and
vibration. Its exclusive ARMO-DUR



case is immune to oil,

grease, fumes, salt spray, sun, rust, and corrosion. The “Mil-
lion Cycle” leaf-type press-to-talk switch is designed to with-
stand rigorous operating conditions and constant use.
