The microphone has a multitude of teatures designed especially for the radio amateur, It nas two easily accessible slide switches (impedance selection and Normal or VOX operation) and a smoothly ‘operating, momentary or locking pustto-talk switch bar. The pust-lo-talk suiich Is a Shure Million-Gycle double-pole, double-throw leat type. The leat switch and four wire (three conductors plus shield) cable are ar- ranged for easy connection to any ham rig. The coiled cord ensures a neat and uncluttered ham shack appearance. The microphone has a height adjustment for operator comfort in transmitting, The high-impact ARMO-DUR® case construction is viriually in: destructible, comfortable to the touch in any temperature or humicity, and it will not rust or corrode, ‘The 444D is supplied with an Amateur Radio Wiring Guide with instructions for connection to many of the most popular transmitters. A treo, persenalized call: letter nameplate is availabio to purchasers of the 444D. For those who want a straight cable, one ie available as Shure Part Number 99892500. The microphone can be converted to Monitor/Tranemit switching with the Shure RK199S Split-Bar Conversion Kit.

Instructions for connecting the microphone to many amateur radios are in the enclosed Amateur Radio Winng Guide. The cable leads ang push-to-talk switch are arranged to permit immediate hookup to transmit. ters with either isolated or grounded switching. A piece of tubing is attached to the plug end of the cable for use as a strain relief for plugs with large cable entty holes. Remove the tubing whan not required. ‘The general wiring procedure is as follows Phone Plug For radios that use a phone plug, the normal connec- tions are: RED lead to the tip, WHITE lead to the ring, ‘and SHIELD and BLACK lead to the sleeve. Microphone Audio Input Circuit ‘Connect the WHITE lead to the audio input terminal; ‘connect the SHIELD to the ground terminal NOTE: If the transmitter requires that the audio cir- cuit be grounded in receive, temove the two screws (on the underside of the base. Separate the base from the microphone, taking care not to damage any leads. Solder a jumper lead between push-i0-lalk ter ‘minal + and the ground lug (see Figure 2). Reassem- ble the base to the microphone. Grounded or Isolated Switching Circuit Many transmitters ground 2 relay or de switching cit cuit to key the transmitter. For these units, connect the ED lead to the switching terminal; connect the BLACK lead to the ground terminal along with the SHIELD, Some transmitters close an isolated switching circuit to key the transmitter. For these units, connect the RED. lead to one switching terminal; connect the BLACK lead to the othor switching terminal. SWITCHING This microphone has two slide switches on the under. side of the base to select high or low impedance and Normal (push-to-talk) or VOX woice-operated) keying of transmitter. The push-to-talk switch is a momentary or locking type. Push-to-Talk Switch The pushtotalk switch can be used for momentary transmission by doprossing end then releasing it. For longer transmissions, or for VOX operation, lock tho switch On by depressing it and sliding it forward. To unlock, slide the switch toward the rear of the microphone and release. Because the push-to-talk switch connects the microphone audio to the transmitter, it can be released to immediately disable the transmitter VOX circuit if a loud noise inadvertently keys the transmitter in VOX operation.Downloaded by RadioAmateur.EU Impedance Switch Set the impedance switch on the underside of the base to either nign or low Impedance to sull the transmitter audio input Impedance. if you are not cer- tain which impedance to use, set the switch for “LO” land check whether there is sufficient output to get 400% modulation on the transmitter. If the output is too low, chango the switch setting to “HI”. It the switch is incorrectly set 10 "HI" for a low im- pecance transmitter, some of the symptoms may in- clude low volume and a lack of intelligibility or a bassy sound, Function Switch For push-to-talk operation, set this switch (on the ungerside of the base) to “Normal” and momentarily depress oF lock the push-totaik switch On for trans: For VOX operation, set the switch to "VOX" and lock the push-to-talk switch On. When the transmitter VOX controls have been correctly adjusted, the transmitter will then be automatically keyed by the operator's voice. NOTE: Setting the 444D tor VOX with transmitters Mat do not have VOX circuits will resull in disabling the transmitter keying circult OPTIONAL CONVERSIONS. To increase the versatility of the Model 4440 microphone, two optional modifications are available. ‘A2.1m (7 ft) straight cable is available as Shure Part Number 9082600. A split-bar Tranemit/Monitor Switch is available for Use with transceivers with a receiver squelch circuit. Depressing the Monitor bar disables the receiver squelch circuit so that the operator can determine the presence of signals below the squelch threshold before transmitting. The Monitor switch is either momentary or locking; and the switch can be wired either toground or to unground the squelch circuit. The Transmit switch bar can be depressed only while the Monitor bar is dopressed, thus requiring the operator to verify that the channel is idle belore transmitting. Tha Transmit switch is momentary only and cannot be locked. The Transmit/Monitor Switch Kit is Shure Model RK199S, General microphone wiring instructions are supplied with the kit, but specific transceiver wiring datails must be obtained from the transceiver schematic and/or the manufacturer of the unit.
