DESCRIPTION • Headphone monitoring 3.5 mm, (1/4 in.)

The Shure M367 is a portable, six-input, two-output (mono), • Output peak limiter with switchable threshold and bi-colored
battery-powered microphone and line level mixer/preamplifier. Its LED indicator
transformer-isolated design, low-noise performance, and compact • Peak indicator LED, and switchable low-cut filters on each input
and rugged construction make the M367 an ideal choice for studio 1/4 in. return monitor input
and mobile broadcast, electronic news gathering (ENG), and • AC power or (2) 9V battery operation
electronic field production (EFP) applications.
This versatile mixer can also be used for the following: ADDITIONAL FEATURES
• Digital transmission links • 48 Vdc or 12 V phantom power for condenser microphones
• Digital video/audio recording media (ISDN, hard disk • 1 kHz tone oscillator
recording, and DAT) • Mutes all input channels when activated
• Sound reinforcement • Tone level control is on the master
The M367 comes with rubber feet, detachable power cord, and • Wide–range input gain controls handle hot signal levels without
spare power line fuse. It can be rack mounted using the optional attenuators
Model A367R rack mount kit.
• Customized operation via internal DIP switches, trim pots, and
FEATURES optional alternate wiring
• Battery check switch and low battery warning indication
• Six selectable mic/line inputs
• Power-on LED
• Selectable mic/line output and dedicated line output
• Input expansion via mix bus jack to link M367s or other mixers
• Transformer-balanced inputs and outputs for superior rejection
of RFI and electromagnetic hum • Rugged all metal chassis with protective end caps
• Professional mechanical VU meter–LED backlighting for high • Detachable AC power cord

Capacitor must be non-polarized; ceramic or film type;
16V rating or higher.

If using a true stereo feed to drive the M367 Monitor In and
another stereo device, the source impedance must be 20 Ω or
less to maintain at least 40 dB separation in the stereo device.
Use a stereo distribution amplifier or buffer to maintain optimum
stereo separation.
