Introduction
ETC’s VM-10 programmable microphone is designed to integrate with virtually any 3rd party
desktop VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) applications. For purposes of this guide, Twisted
Pair’s WAVE 4.8 Desktop Communicator is referenced. 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 Desktop
Communicator itself. This allows the user to speak on the ‘hoots’ while performing other tasks on
the PC. The VM-10 has the ability to utilize your computer’s internal speakers, or power an
external set from the 3/8” jack on the back.
The following instructions will guide the user through configuring the microphone to interact with
WAVE 4.8. I In n a a W Wi in nd do ow ws s e en nv vi ir ro on nm me en nt t w wh he er re e t th he e m mi ic cr ro op ph ho on ne e m ma ay y b be e f fr re eq qu ue en nt tl ly y d di is sc co on nn ne ec ct te ed d, , w we e
