General Description

Dual microphone configuration 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 fine-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 flexibility to accentuate and enhance the frequency characteristics of both the dynamic and condenser microphone output signals. The individual frequency profiles 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 (flat) 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 fingertip-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.

ρThe built-in record and playback feature provides monitoring your voice in the headphones to allow meticulous evaluation and adjustment.

ρFeatures a built-in, one-click DSP filter that is independent of the graphic equalizer.

ρConnect headphones directly to the M-1 and check the microphone audio in real time, listen to test recordings, or monitor the transceiver signal.

ρThe M-1 microphone outputs include a balanced XLR jack as used on professional sound equipment for superior audio quality and noise shielding.
