Choice of microphones
Mino contains two microphone options: one omnidirectional and one directional
microphone.
You can switch between omnidirectional and directional microphone reception
by pressing the M button (5). The omnidirectional microphone is indicated by
the Microphone LED (2) lighting up green and the directional microphone by it
lighting up orange.
With the directional microphone you can ”point” towards the sounds source that
you are interested in listening to while reducing sound from other directions. This
is particularly useful in difficult listening situations, e.g. in crowds or in very noisy
environments.
Telecoil/T position
The built-in telecoil is angled at 45 degrees in order to catch inductive signals from
an inductive loop both when Mino is in the horizontal position (in the hand or on a
table) and in the vertical position (on a clip or neck strap).
The T position can be used in premises where an inductive loop (or hearing loop)
has been fitted. Look for the inductive loop symbol or ask staff whether there is an
inductive loop if you are unsure. The T position is indicated by the indicator for the
external sound source lighting up green.
Selecting the signal source
It is easy to select the sound source.
The user can manually choose between the internal microphone (MIC position) or
built-in telecoil (T position) by pressing the buttons M(5) and T (7) on the front.
When switching between signal sources, the volume control will be set automati-
cally to a low level to avoid unpleasant sound levels.
Mino automatically selects the input for the external sound source (16) when
something is connected. When you remove the connector, Mino will automatically
return to the internal microphone (M position).
External sound source
If the audio cable supplied (which has a small 2.5 mm jack plug on one end) is
connected to the external sound source input (16), the internal microphone will be
disconnected and the external sound source will be automatically selected. The
External Sound LED (4) will light up green and orange at the same time to indicate
that the sound is coming from an external sound source.
If the audio cable is disconnected, the sound will be reconnected to the internal
microphone again.
With the audio cable connected to a TV, hi- equipment, MP3 player or similar
sound source, you can listen to absolutely rst class stereo sound.
The input sensitivity is automatically adjusted to suit dierent sound sources.
