CHOIR STICK MICROPHONE (#CSM-41x, #CSM-61x) GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CSM-61W and CSM-41W series WIRELESS Choir Stick Microphone (CSM) offers the ability to use wireless technology for a totally portable choir configuration. The WIRELESS CSM provides the performance of an overhead hanging choir microphone by placing the microphone element above and over any choir application. Constructed of a black, space-age aluminum alloy, and fitted with over 2" of Micro- Flex gooseneck articulation, both the 40" and 60" models are able to adjust to an exact placement requirement.
The WIRELESS CSM will plug directly into your SHURE® wireless transmitter allowing the portable Choir Stick Microphone to transmit through your SHURE® Wireless system. The provided W-Clip will secure your transmitter to your microphone stand, maintaining a low profile and neat appearance. This versatile choir microphone can be used in both WIRELESS and WIRED applications, expanding performance options dramatically. Internal re-wiring at ACE allows the CSM to work directly with your SHURE® wireless transmitter or the wired power supply.
The WIRELESS CSM mounts on any standard microphone stand with any taper body mic stand clip. ACE has developed our own Taper Body Clutch that allows the WIRELESS CSM to extend as needed for your specific application and will not become unbalanced or tip over even when fully extended (as shown to the right). Use the WIRELESS CSM for adult or children's groups on the stage steps, portable risers, or anywhere.
Featuring SHURE's® miniature electret elements, with two pick-up pattern choices, the WIRELESS CSM allows you to choose a tight pattern to improve isolation from other stage noise, or a wide pattern for use in theater or other production applications.
Each WIRELESS CSM is supplied with everything necessary for use with your WIRELESS or WIRED application. Choose one of two interchangeable electret elements, a W-Clip for securing your SHURE® wireless transmitter to your stand, a Taper Body Clutch, a Taper Body Stand Clip, and a SHURE® Power Module with UU-Clip (for use in wired applications).

GENERAL INSTALLATION OF CHOIR STICK MICROPHONES (#CSM)
Ace Backstage Co.’s Choir Stick Microphone is a wide-range miniature condenser microphone designed for quality sound reinforcement, professional recording, television, and other demanding sound pickup applications. It requires 9V to 52 V DC from an external phantom power supply (usually provided by the mixer). A recessed switch on the power module permits the choice of flat response or low frequency roll-off to help control undesired ambient noise. Two interchangeable Shure® pick-up cartridges (Cardioid and Supercardioid) are available to permit selection of angle acceptance from 115° to 130°.
SHURE® SUPERCARDIOID ELEMENT CHOIR STICK MIC CONFIGURATION AND INSTALLATION (#CSM-41SCW and #CSM-61SCW)
FIGURE 1 - Vertical Positioning of Supercardioid Element
FIGURE 2 - Horizontal Spacing of Supercardioid Element
Note: Figures 1 and 2 assume that the element in place is a Supercardioid element (115º). The combination of small size and excellent response makes the Choir Stick Microphone ideal for choirs, instrumental groups, or theater stages. A uniform 115° angle of acceptance from the cardioid element provides well-balanced audio pickup. The microphone should be located forward of the front-most source (24”-36”) and above the rear most source (approximately 24”-36”), and aimed between them (Figure 1). Increasing the height of the mic above the sources will tend to equalize the sound levels between them, but may also increase the background/reverberant sound pickup. Whenever possible, the distance from the mic to the rear-most pickup should be no more than twice the distance to the front source, to maintain front-to-rear balance (Figure 1). Width of the pickup is approximately 2.5 times the distance to the closest performer.
If additional mics are needed for wide sources, they should not be closer together laterally than 2 to 3 feet, to avoid phase cancellation (Figure 2). This typical spacing is approximately 2.5 feet apart. To orient the mic element in the proper direction, bend the gooseneck housing until the desired location is found. Note: All Shure® elements will have somewhat different configurations depending on the element(s) being used. With the exception of the Supercardioid Element (115°), all element configurations will have broader coverage patterns, leading to variations in the distance to the front-most source, the angle of acceptance (element polar patterns), and so on. Since applications may vary, please use this spec sheet as a guide. All drawings and measurements are for reference only.
