Features • Feedback rejecting super-cardioid pick up pattern • Locking on/off switch • Heavy-duty metal body • High level of RF rejection • Designed & manufactured in Australia • Full 10 year guarantee* Using the M2 • The M2 requires a power supply which for optimum results should be a ‘P48’ standard, 48 Volt DC Supply. Most professional mixing consoles have an internal 48 V supply; alternatively you can purchase a separate supply.
• We recommend that any connections made to the mixer or recorder are made with the attenuation (gain) set to OFF as well as the microphone switch set to OFF. • When first switching the mixer on and when phantom power has been applied to the M2, or when the microphone is switched on, you should allow several seconds for the microphone to stabilize.
• The M2’s primary function is a live vocal microphone. When setting it up on stage, make sure the foldback monitors are positioned as pictured in Figure 1. This will direct the sound to the vocalist and towards the least responsive section of the Figure 1. M2’s pick up pattern. • To avoid feedback and make full use of the M2’s pick up pattern, it is best not to cup your hands over the head of the microphone, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2.
