MICROPHONE CHOICES

M119 - This is a very small, omni-directional mic used only as a lavalier ("lapel") microphone. It may

be prone to feedback since it is usually placed so far away from the users mouth; however it has a very

flat response and excellent tone quality. The M119 generally works best with the LONG RANGER II

and an ES300 column speaker indoors at a lower volume setting. As is true of most omni-directional

type microphones, the M119 is very free from wind noise and clothing "rattle".

M140 - A cardioid (directional) microphone for lavalier ("lapel") use. Due to the directional pickup

pattern, this model will generally provide more gain (loudness) before feedback than the M119 omni-

directional model. The M140 has a "brighter" sound than the M119 (the treble is boosted). This crisper

sound normally improves the clarity that is sometimes lost with lavalier type microphones. The M140 is

subject to wind noise and generally works best indoors, however it is supplied with a foam windscreen

which helps to prevent noise caused by wind.

M121S - This is a directional, dynamic hand-held microphone. It can be plugged directly into the MIC

jack on the control panel of the LONG RANGER II using a standard microphone cord (MM-16 or MC-

16C).

HM142V - This single-band headset microphone is normally worn on the head, but can also be worn

around the neck for hands-free operation. It provides maximum gain before feedback since the micro-

phone is very close to the user’s mouth. The built-in volume control helps control feedback in difficult

environments, such as when the user must be close to the LONG RANGER II. Worn on the head, the

microphone will remain at a constant distance from the user’s mouth, which keeps the volume of the

sound system constant as your head moves.

HM152V - A double-band headset microphone intended to be worn on the head. The pickup element

and tonal characteristics are the same as the single-band HM142V, but it is more securely mounted

and in most cases, more comfortable, due to the fully adjustable dual headband. The same volume

control is provided to help control feedback.

The best matched microphones are:

For hand-held use:

M121S dynamic cardioid, with ON/OFF switch

For headset use:

HM142V single headband model

HM152V double headband model

For lavalier use:

M140-micro

Other brands of microphones may be used, provided they are the correct type, with an appropriate

connector. Consult the factory or your dealer if you are not sure. A mis-matched microphone will

generally cause background noise (hiss).
