Using the M1
• The M1’s primary function is a live vocal
microphone. When setting it up on stage,
make sure the foldback monitors are
positioned as pictured. This will direct the
sound to the vocalist and towards the least
responsive section of the M1’s pick up
pattern.
• To ensure the lowest noise/distortion your mixer input gain
control should be set so that the Peak Program indicator (PPI) LED
flashes ON during peaks of the source (voice/instrument).
If there is no PPI, adjust the input gain while listening for
distortion of the sound. If distortion is heard, gradually reduce
the gain until it is no longer present.
• Microphone technique, or how to get the sound you want,
requires experimentation.
We suggest that you start with the channel EQ set to ‘OFF’ or
‘FLAT’ (no boost or cut).
• To avoid feedback and make full use of the M1’s
pick up pattern, it is best not to cup your
hands over the head of the microphone.
