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.
