The Shure AMS26 is a vintage cardioid electret condenser "probe" microphone designed specifically for the proprietary Shure Automatic Microphone System (AMS) series of mixers (such as the AMS8000) used in boardrooms, courtrooms, and government chambers. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]System Requirements & Compatibility

• Mixer Requirement: The AMS26 cannot function with standard standard mixers, phantom power supplies, or other audio brands. It requires a compatible Shure AMS automatic mixer to operate and pass audio properly due to its specialized switching and control circuitry.
• Intended Use: Built primarily for intelligible speech and voice reinforcement rather than high-fidelity musical instrument recording. [1, 2]

Physical Specifications

• Design: Slim, slender "probe" style with a metallic brown vinyl-enameled brass handle and matching steel-mesh grille.
• Weight: Lightweight at 125 g (4.4 oz).
• Connection: Standard 3-pin male XLR-type connector output.
• Windscreen: Frequently paired with the brown Shure RK229WS foam windscreen to minimize plosives and breath noise. [1, 2, 3, 4]
