Hi Greg,

I'm interested in purchasing one of your "Ultimate 545" microphones. I want to use it in a "Tom Ball dou style setting", BTW he said a 545 was his gig mic in Dave's interview. My question therefore is how should I ask you to wire it when I order.

Thanks for Your Time

Dan

 P.S.

Here's the link to Tom Ball's interview. He talks about his Shure 545 in the "Equipment: Harps, Mics & Amps" section.

Hi, Dan  I'm not sure what

Hi, Dan

 I'm not sure what "Tom Ball dou style setting" means above, typo perhaps?

But Tom says he plays a 545 straight into a PA. The most straight forward way to do that is to order your Ultimate 545 set up for low impedance with an XLR connector. You'll use a standard XLR to XLR cable to connect it to the PA. I can supply a cable if you need one. You should also consider purchasing an impedance matching transformer - a $19 device that goes at the other end of your mic cable in case you want to plug it into a guitar/harp amp or effect pedal. 

All of the possible configurations are described in the "Ordering" section of the Ultimate Series mics page on my site. 

If/when you're ready to order, please contact me by email at greg@blowsmeaway.comThanks!
