IMPEDANCE SELECTION AND CONNECTIONS

632C and 633A Microphones The 632C and 633A Dynamic Microphones are single impedance microphones. The impedance is 30/50 ohms. Located on the bottom plate (Figure 1) are three terminals. Terminal number one is the common terminal. Terminal number two is the hot or positive side of the microphone. Terminal G is ground for use with a balanced system. The 632C comes with two yellow leads connected to terminals one and two. To connect the microphone to an unbalanced line, connect terminals one and G together.



633C Microphone The 633C Dynamic Microphone is a dual-impedance microphone. The two impedances are 30/50 ohms and 150/250 ohms. For selection of 30/50 ohms (Figure 2), connect the terminal marked 30-50 to the hot or positive side of the audio cable. Connect the common lead to the Terminal marked 0. For connection of the 150/150 ohm side of the microphone (Figure 3), connect the hot or positive side of the audio cable to the terminal marked 150-250 and the common lead to the terminal marked 0. If an unbalanced line is required, connect terminals G and 0 together.
