GENERAL
The Shure Models 515SBGX, 515SBG-18X, and 515SBG-18XF microphones are low-impedance dynamic microphones designed to be mounted on flexible goosenecks or fixed pips. Optimized frequency response and a unidirectional (cardioid) pickup patter makes them ideal for language labs, paging applications, and base station communications. They are also recommended for use as talkback or cuing microphones in TV, film, and recording studios. Because of their low impedance, these microphones retain their level and response characteristics even when long lengths of cable are used.
