Installation Instructions
Connecting the STM-1
- You will also need to cut another shorter piece of 22/2 cable (approx. 1 inch). Strip the jacked 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 jacked (See picture).
- Connect one end of the 1 inch audio cable to the +PWR terminal and connect the other end of that into the +PHNTM terminal.
- Strip the wiring on the PS-24AS revealing the 2 cooper wires inside. Connect the copper to the PWR terminals (White striped to +, Solid Black to the other terminal) of the STM-1.
- Connect 22/2 to the LO-Z OUTPUT terminals (Red to +, Black to -, Bare Wire to Ground) of the STM-1. Ensure you run enough 22/2 cable to your V5914/V5915
- Connect the audio cable that is intended for your microphone to the input terminals of the STM-1 (Red to +, Black to -, Common to the common terminal). Using the Velcro that comes with the STM-1, attach the STM-1 to a safe place (preferably keeping it out of sight).
(NOTE; If there are 2 cameras in the room, duplitcate step 9.1.3 using a long enough cable to get to the 2nd camera. If there are 2 Shure MX202i Microphones, duplicate step 9.1.4.)
Connecting and Mounting the Microphone
- Strip the jacket of the XLR pigtail revealing the red, black and common cables inside. Strip away a portion of the red and black cables inside the pigtail, revealing the copper wire inside. At the end of your 22/2 cable (not connected to the STM-1), twist the wires together with the pigtail (red to red, black to black, common to common). Secure these with B-Connectors (See Pictures). Repeat this process for 2 microphones.
- Using the ½”paddle bit, drill a hole into the center of the single gang plate and a hole into the desired location for the microphone on your drop ceiling tile. Then secure this single gang plate to the desired location of the microphone on your drop ceiling tile using a pair of toggle bolts. Repeat this process for 2 microphones.
- Run your MX202i through the ½” hole in the ceiling tile and single gang plate. Connect the 4 Pin XLR-F end of the MX202i to the 4 pin XLR-M adapter. Next, connect the XLR-F (that is ran back to the STM-1) to the XLR-M of the adapter. Lastly, use the rubber stopper to plug the ½” hole in the single gang plate.
- Lastly, adjust the length of the cable of the microphone to your desired length, hiding the remainder in the ceiling. Attach the windscreen to the MX202i.
