*'? 
General: The Shure Models M68, M68-2, and M68-2E  are five channel,  completely 
transistorized,  portable microphone mixers for use with public address systems and tape 
recorders. 
The Mixers  Feature: 
Four microphone inputs with  individual  slide  switches mounted  on rear  panel 
for  selection  of  low  impedance  (balanced  or  unbalanced)  or  high impedance 
(unbalanced). 
One  high level  auxiliary  input  suitable  for  tape,  tuner,  and  accessories. 
Individual volume  control to balance each of  the five inputs. 
* 
A  master  volume  control  to  simultaneously  control  level 
of 
all  inputs. 
* 
A  high  (unbalanced) 
or 
low impedance  (balanced  or  unbalanced)  microphone 
level  output.  Impedance  selected  with  slide  switch  to  match  the  microphone 
input of  associated  amplifier. 
* 
A  high impedance  auxiliary  output. 
A DC power supply jack.  This jack  supplies  28 volts DC for use with  accessories 
such 
as 
the  Model A68P  Phono Preamplifier 
or 
it may  be  used 
as 
power input 
in connection with the Model  A68B  Battery  Power Supply  (Accessory). 
* 
A  facility 
for 
connecting  two  or  more  mixers  together  to  obtain  additional 
microphone  inputs. 
For 
example, two mixers  connected  together will  give 
a 
total 
of  eight microphone inputs and  one auxiliary input.

INSTALLATION 
: 
CONNECTION  BETWEEN  COMPONENTS 
For  balanced-line  connection  use  two conductor,  shielded, low  capacity  cable 
for 
connections.  For  unbalanced  (high impedance), use  single  conductor,  shielded,  low 
capacity  cable for connections.
