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 excel-

lent tone quality. The M119 generally works best with the LONG RANGER III 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 III 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 microphone 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 III. 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 charac-

teristics are the same as the single-band HM142V, but it is more securely mounted and in most cases, more comfort-

able, due to the fully adjustable dual headband. The same volume control is provided to help control feedback.

The best matched microphones for headset use:

HM142V single headband model

HM152V double headband model

The best matched microphones for hand-held use:

M121S dynamic cardioid, with ON/OFF switch

The best matched microphones for lavalier use:

M140-micro

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

sult the factory or your dealer if you are not sure. A mis-matched microphone will generally cause background noise

(hiss) or feedback problems.
