Shure SCM268 Guia Del Usuario página 11

WARNING! Voltages in this equipment are hazardous to life. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
DISASSEMBLY
To access the printed circuit board (pc board) for internal modifica-
tions, use the following steps:
1. Unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the knobs and retainer nuts from the front panel (See
Figure 2).
KNOB ASSEMBLY
3. Remove the four screws at each corner of the back panel.
4. Remove the two screws at each bottom corner of the front panel
5. Slide the back panel and pc board out from the rear of the chas-
sis.
CAUTION: When reassembling the SCM268, DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN the knob retainer nuts. Use a minimal amount of
force to secure the nut (0.6-0.8 N⋅m (5-7 in⋅lb)). Damage to the
internal components will result if too much force is used.
LOW-CUT FILTER
To bypass the built-in low-cut filter for a given channel, remove the
specified resistor and place a 10μF to 33μF capacitor in the specified pc
board location (polarity does not matter). Refer to the following table:
Channel Remove Resistor from:
1 R18
2 R28
3 R38
4 R48
To select a particular corner frequency for the low cut filter, remove the
R18, R28, R38, or R48 resistor for a given channel as specified above.
Then, in the corresponding pc board location (X17, X27, X37, or X47),
place a capacitor of the specified value (polarity does not matter). Refer
to the following formula for selecting the correct capacitor value for the de-
sired corner frequency.
C
where:
C = value of capacitor in μF
F = corner frequency (-3 bB) for low-cut filter in Hz

PHANTOM POWER DISABLE
To disable phantom power for a given microphone input, remove the
specified resistor as listed in the following table:

LINE PAD
To insert a 50 dB line pad for a given microphone input, remove the
specified resistor and short the solder points at the specified pc board lo-
cations. Refer to the following table:
Channel Remove Resistors:
1 R12, R13, R15
2 R22, R23, R25
3 R32, R33, R35
4 R42, R43, R45
HOT MIC PAD
Some condenser mics have a high output. In order to avoid overdriv-
ing the input stage, the user may need to set the input pot lower than de-
sired. To fix this problem, the user can place an 11 dB pad into the input
gain stage of a selected channel.
1. Twist together the leads from one side of a 15 kΩ resistor and a
0.1 μF capacitor:
2. Solder the free ends of the resistor-capacitor combination into the
holes at the jumper position indicated by the following table and
remove the corresponding surface mount resistor.
