Template:Connecting The Microphone Shure MX202i STM1

Connecting the STM-1

1. Cut a short piece of 22/2 cable (approx. 1 inch). Strip the jacket and from the cable and remove all contents keeping only the red cable. On both ends of the red cable, strip off a piece of the jacket (See picture).

   

2. Connect one end of the 1 inch audio cable to the +PWR terminal and connect the other end into the +PHNTM terminal.

   

3. Connect the cable ran for power to both PWR terminals (Red to +, Black to the other terminal) of the STM-1. Connect the other side to the IO phoenix connector (Red to 2, Black to 1).
4. Connect the cable ran for audio to both HI-Z OUTPUT terminals (Red to +, Black to the other terminal) of the STM-1. Connect the other side to the audio in portion of the audio phoenix connector (Red to +, Black to –).

   

5. Using the Velcro that comes with the STM-1, attach the STM-1 to the wall above drop ceiling hidden from sight.
6. The microphone will be connected via the input terminals of the STM-1 (Red to +, Black to -, ground to the ground terminal).

(NOTE: If there are 2 cameras in the room, duplicate these steps to get to the 2nd camera. HI-Z output can feed 2 cameras, but no more. If there are 2 Shure MX202i Microphones, duplicate steps. An STM-1 can power and gather audio from 2 Shure 202i mics.)

Connecting and Mounting the Microphone

1. Asses the drop ceiling to decide best mounting placement for the MX202i. Avoid tiles adjacent to HVAC or fire safety devices.
2. Drill a hole into the center of the single gang plate using the ½” paddle bit (if not prefabricated).
3. Measure center of the drop ceiling tile and drill a similar hole with the ½” paddle bit.
4. Align the single gang plate to the location of the microphone on the drop ceiling tile using a pair of toggle bolts.

   

5. Run the MX202i through the ½” hole in the ceiling tile and single gang plate with the rubber stopper to secure the microphone in place and plugging the ½” hole .
6. Adjust the length of the cable of the microphone to a desirable length, hiding the remainder in the ceiling near the STM-1. Attach the windscreen to the MX202i.

   

7. Run the XLR mini cable to the STM-1 location.
8. Connect the connect the XLR mini to the 4 pin Male XLR adapter.
9. Strip away a portion of the red and black cables inside the pigtail, revealing the copper wire inside.
   • The microphone will be connected via the input terminals of the STM-1 (Red to +, Black to -, ground to the ground terminal).
10. Connect the female XLR to the Male XLR adapter
