Owner Insights

Features and functionality

  • The PSM 300 lacks XLR connectors, requiring adapters for certain setups.

    Source
  • Shure's stereo analogue transmission uses multiplexing, combining signals with a 19kHz carrier tone for signal strength and a 38kHz subcarrier for channel separation.

    Source
  • PSM900 can be configured to send two separate mono mixes by hard-panning left and right, allowing a single transmitter to serve two users.

    Source
  • The PSM 300 requires a full power cycle to mute RF, unlike the PSM 900, which offers a dedicated RF mute button.

    Source
  • Shure PSM 900 allows transmission to be switched off with hardware switches, offering stress-free frequency setup at festivals.

    Source
  • Sennheiser IEM systems can be RF-muted, but require a sequence through the power button and dial, which some find less intuitive.

    Source

Comparisons

  • Given the cost, some recommend choosing two PSM300 systems over a single PSM900 transmitter with two receivers for better audio clarity and flexibility.

    Source
  • PSM 300 reportedly matches PSM 1000 in audio quality, despite being a lower model.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • When using a single PSM900 transmitter for two mixes, it's beneficial to keep the mixes similar to prevent audio distortion due to the transmission method.

    Source
  • In crowded RF environments like Los Angeles and Las Vegas, the PSM 900's additional 12 MHz bandwidth is advantageous.

    Source
  • The PSM 900's RF mute is crucial in multi-room venues to prevent frequency interference.

    Source

    Source
  • PSM900 users can upgrade to PSM1000 receivers for diversity reception, improving performance in challenging RF environments.

    Source

User experience
