Introduction

ETC’s VM-10 programmable microphone is designed to integrate with virtually any 3rd party
desktop VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) applications. The VM-10 is ideal for situations where a
multi-channel, plug-n-play, desktop audio interface is needed. With virtually any USB (Universal
Serial Bus) compliant PC and VoIP desktop application software, the VM-10 enables “mouse free”
interaction on up to 10 channels of audio without the need to ‘point-and-click’ on the software appli­cation itself. This allows the user to speak on the channels while performing other tasks on
the PC. The VM-10 has the ability to utilize your computer’s internal speakers, or use an
external set from the 3/8” jack on the back.
