General Description

Dual microphone conguration 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 proles
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.

damage to the equipment.
Do not install in places where the unit
risks getting wet (such as near a humid­ier).
Doing so may result in re, electric shock
or damage.
Do not use a power supply cable other than the one provided.
Doing so could cause re, electric shock or
damage to the equipment.
Do not place heavy objects on the power supply cable or connection cable, forc­ibly bend, twist or pull on the cables, or heat or modify them.
Doing so may scratch or damage the ca­bles, resulting in re, electric shock or dam­age to the equipment.
CAUTION
Do not place the unit on an unstable place or a place subject to much vibra­tion.
The unit may fall or tip over, resulting in
re, injury or malfunction.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.
The unit may fall or tip over, resulting in injury.
Do not place objects containing water,
such as vases, cosmetics or cups, on top of the unit.
The water may spill and get inside the unit,
resulting in re or malfunction.
Do not place small metal objects such as clips on top of the unit.
The object may get inside, resulting in re
or malfunction.
Do not place the unit in humid or dusty places.
Doing so could cause re or malfunction.
Do not use the headphones at high vol­ume.
Listening to continuous loud sound over the headphones may the damage the ears.
When using the headphones, lower the volume to the minimum before turning
on the power.
Failure to do so may cause hearing disor­ders.
Do not pull on the cable section when
disconnecting the power supply cable
or connection cable.
Doing so could cause fire, electric shock or damage to the equipment. Hold the plug or the connector when disconnecting the cable.
Do not use the power supply cable or
connection cable if it is damaged or if
the connection of the power connector is loose.

MIC
The unit includes a built-in dynamic microphone and a condenser micro­phone that are developed for communications equipment. The condenser microphone provides crisp sound with transparent frequency characteristics up to high frequencies. The dynamic microphone produces a thick, deep, warm sound quality that is suited for informal chatting. These two types of microphones are each equipped with an independent 9-band graphic equalizers, allowing the output frequency characteristics of the separate elements to be precisely controlled. It is also possible to combine the audio output signals from the two microphone ele­ments.
The included treble boost cowling may be
r
installed to block sounds from the sides of the microphone, resulting in unique frequen­cy characteristics as if the sound were con­densed with a peak response in the vicinity of 1 to 1.5 kHz. To install the cowling, press it straight on from the front to cover the micro­phone. To remove, slide it straight off.

Angle adjustment knobs

The angle of the microphone may be adjust­ed by loosening (turn counterclockwise) the knobs on the left and right side of the pivot top. Place the microphone in the desired po­sition and then tighten the knobs (turn them clockwise) to secure the microphone.
Treble boost cowling

Height adjustment ring

The height of the microphone can be pre­cisely adjusted. Turn the compression ring counterclockwise to loosen the top tube, and then raise or lower the top section to the desired position. Turn the compression ring clockwise to tighten it and hold the mi­crophone in place.
The stand can be extended a maximum of 6
