Clip-on Instrument Microphone
PG Alta Microphones
Congratulations on the purchase of a new Shure PG Alta
series microphone. The PG Alta series delivers professional
quality audio at an affordable price, with solutions for
capturing nearly any source, including voice, acoustic
instruments, drums, and amplified electric instruments.
Suitable for live and studio applications, PG Alta microphones
are built to last, and meet the same rigorous quality testing
standards that make all Shure products trustworthy and
reliable.
General Rules for Use
• Do not cover any part of the microphone grille with
your hand, as this will adversely affect microphone
performance.
• Aim the microphone toward the desired sound source
(such as the talker, singer, or instrument) and away from
unwanted sources.
• Place the microphone as close as practical to the desired
sound source.
• Work close to the microphone for extra bass response.
• Use only one microphone to pick up a single sound source.
• For better gain before feedback, use fewer microphones.
• Keep the distance between microphones at least three
times the distance from each microphone to its source
("three to one rule").
• Place microphones as far as possible from reflective
surfaces.
• Add a windscreen when using the microphone outdoors.
• Avoid excessive handling to minimize pickup of mechanical
noise and vibration.
Model Variations
PGA98H-XLR: Standard 3-pin XLR output with integrated
belt-clip preamplifier (requires phantom power)
PGA98H-TQG: 4-pin TQG output for use with wireless
transmitters
Phantom Power
All condenser microphones require phantom power to
operate. This microphone performs best with a 48 V DC
supply (IEC-61938), but it can operate with lower voltages.
Phantom power is provided by the mixer or audio interface
that the microphone is connected to, and requires the use of
a balanced microphone cable: XLR-to-XLR or XLR-to-TRS.
In most cases, there is a switch or button to activate the
phantom power. See the user guide for the mixer or interface
for additional information.
NOTE: This microphone is compatible with non-Shure
bodypacks that have a TQG connector and supply 5V on pin
2.
Mounting the Microphone
Use the integrated clamp to quickly and securely attach the
microphone to horns or other instruments.
1. Squeeze the clamp to open it, and attach to an instrument
or other object.
2. Aim the microphone by rotating the swivel base and
bending the gooseneck.
Aiming the Microphone
Position the microphone with the arrow pointed at the sound
source.
