Assembly  
Description and Application  
The CH230 and CH230W are easily aimed  
at the performance with the supplied steel  
wire hanger and holding nut. The wire hanger  
attached to the microphone element and  
cable can be bent to aim the microphone in  
the vertical plane. The horizontal position-  
ing of the microphone is accomplished by  
rotating the element and locking the posi-  
tion with the nut (detailed description later).  
This allows the microphone to be accurately  
positioned over a choir, stage or orchestra.  
Parts List:  
The CH230 and CH230W hanging micro-  
phones, utilize back-electret condenser tech-  
nology to provide an extended, flat frequency  
response with a controlled cardioid polar pat-  
tern for high-quality sound reinforcement.  
The CH230 and CH230W were specifically  
designed to mic choirs, instrumental and  
vocal groups, and live theater. The size and  
color (black/white) of the transducer and  
cable allow the microphone to blend in with  
the surroundings.  
1 microphone with hanger and 30 ft of cable  
1 round plaster ring  
1 rectangular switch cover  
1 printed circuit board  
1 shield box  
1 strain relief  
2 11/4-in. #4-40 Phillips-head screws  
4 3/16-in. #4-40 Phillips-head screws  
2 1/2-in. #8-32 Phillips-head screws  
2 #4 split-ring washers  
The CH230 and CH230W are furnished with  
30 feet of black (CH230) or white  
(CH230W) miniature braided shielded cable.  
The design of the cable ensures the  
microphone’s horizontal position will be held  
stable without the need of fish-line tether-  
ing.  
The CH230’s low self noise and high output  
signal level combine to produce an excel-  
lent signal-to-noise ratio. Exceptionally  
high sensitivity, a uniform cardioid polar  
response, and smooth frequency response  
make the CH230 ideally suited for distant  
sound pick-up. The cardioid polar response  
is precisely controlled and is highly effec-  
tive in suppressing feedback without colora-  
tion of sound. Additionally, unwanted low-  
frequency noise such as the rumble from air-  
moving equipment can be reduced with the  
use of a switchable high-pass filter. The  
filter’s corner frequency (75 Hz) is low  
enough to have essentially no effect on voice

Assembly Instructions (see Figure 3):  
The CH230’s electronics module and mount-  
ing hardware allow quick assembly and  
mounting to a standard electrical switch box  
or four-inch electrical box. Figure 3 illus-  
trates the assembly for either box style. Con-  
necting a mixer to the electronics module is  
through the output terminal block. Power is  
obtained from any phantom source supply-  
ing 12 to 52 volts.  
1. Identify the type of electrical box,  
switch or octagon, and select the proper  
cover plate to start the assembly.  
2. Position the plate with the printed side

ued. Any and all active electronics incorpo-  
rated in these microphones are guaranteed  
against malfunction due to defects in mate-  
rials or workmanship for a period of three  
(3) years from the date of original purchase.  
The Limited Warranty does not extend to  
cables, cable connectors, or switches. Addi-  
tional details are included in the Uniform  
Limited Warranty statement.
