General Description
Dual microphone conguration features
The M-1 features two built-in microphone elements, one dynamic and one condenser.
The unique output signals may be individually crafted and then blended to produce a
single rich voice signal. The condenser microphone responds to a broad frequency
range including the distinctive crisp highs, while the dynamic microphone adds depth
and warmth, providing the emotional subtext desirable for a genial “ragchew”. The M-1
lets you ne-tune and balance the two microphone sources to create a sound that will
compliment your own voice.
Nine-band graphic equalizer for each microphone element
The nine-band graphic equalizer is applied to each microphone element independently,
giving total exibility to accentuate and enhance the frequency characteristics of both
the dynamic and condenser microphone output signals. The individual frequency proles
are easily adjusted on the graphic equalizer, using the rotary encoders below the display. The built-in equalizer memories can store two different groups of settings for each
microphone. Stored settings (Memories 1 and 2) can be accessed instantly.
A through (at) preset is also provided. By blending the two microphone outputs together, you can create your own unique tonal quality. The M-1 adds a new level to the audio
creative process.
Treble boost cowling produces a unique tonal texture
The simple clip-on cowling enhances the high-frequency response of both microphone
elements, and can minimize the aural interference from either side. The cowling serves
to concentrate the voice input with a peak at around 1 - 1.5 kHz, producing a unique tonal texture.
Air cylinder magnetic contactless PTT key
The PTT key with contactless triple air cylinder magnetic construction delivers smooth
ngertip-sensitive operation over an extended stroke distance.
The key has been designed with optimal balance between key weight and stroke to provide the perfect tactile response. Meanwhile, the contactless switch provides years of
fault-free operation with minimal mechanical degradation.
The built-in record and playback feature provides monitoring your voice in the head-
r
phones to allow meticulous evaluation and adjustment.
Features a built-in, one-click DSP lter that is independent of the graphic equalizer.
r
Connect headphones directly to the M-1 and check the microphone audio in real
r
time, listen to test recordings, or monitor the transceiver signal.
The M-1 microphone outputs include a balanced XLR jack as used on professional
r
sound equipment for superior audio quality and noise shielding.
