In this short video, we'll be demonstrating the process of
connecting and disconnecting a microphone to a Shure Mic Pack,
available in some classrooms on campus.
It's critical to take care when following this process.
Destruction of microphones and mic packs is expensive and disrupts anyone else who would use a classrooms mic system.
To connect a microphone to the Shure Mic pack, first examine the pins in the mic pack, checking that they are straight.
With the black button facing toward the front of the Mic Pack, press it straight into the slot.
Do not twist as you insert the microphone into the slot, as this will damage the mic pack and microphone.
You should hear a clicking noise when the microphone is properly seated.
To disconnect the microphone from the Shure Mic pack, firmly grasp the mic pack.
Then, press and hold the black button at the base of the microphone cable.
Pull the microphone straight out of the slot.
Do not twist the cable, as this will damage the mic pack and microphone.
The microphone base should disconnect from the mic pack with minimal effort.
If you are having difficulty removing the microphone, please double check that you are fully depressing the black button.
If you discover a microphone or mic pack that is not in working order, please report this to the UVM Tech Team.
