The Commando Series represents a significant achievement in providing quality performance at
nominal cost - ncorporating Shure's rugged, patented Controlled Magnetic cartridge in a dramatic-
looking versatile series of microphones. Suitable for indoor or outdoor use, these microphones feature
high output, smooth response, extreme ruggedness and ability to withstand severe moisture and tem-
peratur e conditions. Mod el 420 is specially designed for lavali er use and it , as well as the Mod el 430,
features adjustment for high or low impedance by simple pin-jack changing method. Model 430
includes an "On-Of f" switch as well as detachab le cable. Both Models 415 and 430 are furnished with
Shure Mode l A25 Swivel Stand Adap ter for Stand-mout;ted use. Mode l 425
i s
specially designed for
gooseneck mounting but can also
be utilize d as stand-mounted units with A25B Swivel Ada pter Model s
with gooseneck attached are numbered 425-6 plus number to indicate length of gooseneck in inches.
