WARNING
LISTENING TO AUDIO AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES CAN CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE. USE AS
LOW A VOLUME AS POSSIBLE. Over exposure to excessive sound levels can damage your ears resulting in
permanent noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Please use the following guidelines established by the Occupation-
al Safety Health Administration (OSHA) on maximum time exposure to sound pressure levels before hearing dam-
age occurs.
90dBSPL
at 8 hours
95dBSPL
at 4 hours
100dBSPL
at 2 hours

PSM 900
The Shure PSM 900 Wireless Personal Monitor System offers an unprecedented combination of superb audio
quality, robust RF performance, and category-leading features for the most demanding professional applications.
Patented Audio Reference Companding and advanced digital signal processing technology provide excellent
stereo separation and audio clarity. Exceptional transmitter linearity vastly reduces frequency intermodulation, al-
lowing more channels per frequency band. Patented CueMode technology enables the sound engineer to monitor
different stage mixes with the touch of a button.
Features
Unparalleled Audio Quality
•Bodypack receivers with advanced digital signal processing technology deliver more headroom, improved
stereo separation, and higher audio fidelity.
•Patented Audio Reference Companding offers natural and transparent sound.
• Available with Shure SE425 Sound Isolating™ earphones featuring dual high-definition MicroDrivers for accu-
rate and balanced audio response.
Robust RF Performance
•P9RA+ bodypack receivers offer enhanced signal reception and range.
•Precision front-end RF filtering significantly reduces RF interference for a cleaner, stronger RF signal, fewer
dropouts, and fewer audible artifacts.

• Exceptional transmitter linearity vastly reduces frequency intermodulation and allows up to 20 compatible chan-
nels per frequency range.
•Automatic RF gain control prevents signal distortion due to RF overload before it can affect performance.
Category-Leading Setup and Operation Features
• CueMode allows monitoring of different stage mixes and storing of up to 20 separate channels on one body-
pack for quick and easy reference.
•Front panel RF mute switch enables or disables RF transmission during setup.
•Scan and Sync scans the RF environment with the bodypack and assigns an identified group and channel to
your system over wireless IR link.
•MixMode technology allows the bodypack user to combine two separate audio channels for simultaneous lis-
tening in both ears, or can transmit two independent IFB program feeds. Balance control on the bodypack ad-
justs the relative levels for each audio signal.
•Four-band parametric EQ gives the user the choice to adjust frequencies for a fully customized sound.
Advanced Rechargeability Options
•The SB900A lithium-ion rechargeable battery provides extended usage times and precise tracking of remaining
life and charge cycle details.
•The SCB800-US eight-bay charger brings up to eight SB900 batteries to full charge within two hours and has
charge status LEDs for each battery.
•The SBC200 dual-docking charger works with SB900A, P3RA, P9RA+, P10R+, QLX-D Digital Wireless Sys-
tems, and ULX-D Digital Wireless Systems, available with and without power supply.
•The SBC220 networked dual-docking charger works with SB900A, PSM 300 (P3RA only), PSM 900 (P9RA+
only), PSM 1000 (P10R+ only), QLX-D Digital Wireless Systems, ULX-D Digital Wireless Systems, and Axient
Digital (AD1 and AD2 only), available with and without power supply. When the SBC220 is connected to a net-
work, battery information for each transmitter can be viewed remotely.

Quickstart Instructions
Rack Mount Transmitter
1. Connect to a power outlet using the supplied power adapter.
2. Attach the supplied antennas to the antenna out BNC connectors.
3. Connect the audio source, such as the output of a mixer, to the audio inputs. You can use both input jacks or
choose either one for a mono source.
◦For mono (one input), access the Audio menu and select Mono.
◦Set the input sensitivity to match the source by selecting Audio INPUT from the LCD configuration menu:
Aux (-10dBV) or Line (+4dBu).
4. Make sure the RF switch is OFF. Turn the power ON.
5. Adjust the audio source level so that, for the average input signal level, the top two yellow LEDs flicker and the
lower LEDs are solid.
◦ If the red clip LED illuminates, the inputs are overdriven. Decrease the level using the ▼▲ buttons or
change the input sensitivity to +4 dBu.
◦If the signal level is too low, change the input sensitivity to –10 dBV
