M-One/USB Owner’s Manual
Zero-latency USB Condenser Microphone w/ Headphone Output
Overview:
The ART M-One/USB is a Class-A FET condenser USB microphone designed to direct connect to any
USB 2.0 equipped computer or laptop. The 32mm gold sputtered/center-terminated wide diaphragm
capsule delivers a full 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response, rivaling standard studio condenser
microphones.
The ART M-One/USB offers the added convenience of an internal 24bit / 96kHz digital conversion direct
to the USB2.0 output, making it the ideal microphone for software based recording solutions or
Podcasting. The M-One/USB operates on both Windows and Mac platforms.
What makes the M-One/USB unique is the integrated D/A converter that makes the microphone in effect
its own audio interface. The D/A converter provides computer playback to the 1/8
th
-inch headphone
output jack with volume and mix controls integrated into the microphone chassis. The volume control sets
the overall listening level in the headphones, while the mix control allows the user to blend the computer
audio (playback mix) and source (microphone input) to the headphones mix, offering a zero-latency
recording solution.
