The AM Series is a Real-time Steering Array Microphone that efficiently picks up targeted sound by using a
unique algorithm to detect the position of the sound source and control the microphone’s directivity.
This microphone system consists of an array microphone unit and its control unit. The array microphone is
available in two different versions: AM-1B (black) and AM-1W (white).
4. FeATUReS
• The array microphone utilizes eight microphone elements to realize an array effect by means of its narrow 50°
horizontal angle of directivity.
• The microphone employs a unique algorithm to detect and track the position of the sound source and
automatically control the directivity of the array microphone in real time so that the targeted sound can be
efficiently picked up.
• The free-to-download, dedicated AM-1 iOS app allows not only visual monitoring of sound source detection
conditions, but also easy function settings. Function settings can also be performed by way of a PC browser.
• The array microphone can be muted by way of its mute switch or software control (via the AM-1 iOS app).
5. hANDLINg pReCAUTIONS
• Warning: This is a class A products. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in
which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
• Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
• The user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
• Avoid blocking the array microphone with the hand or other objects that may restrict the microphone’s optimal
performance.
• When mounting the control unit in a rack, peripheral areas around power amplifiers could exceed the operating
temperature specified for the unit. Avoid installing the control unit in close proximity to power amplifiers.
• Take care not to drop the unit onto the floor or bump it against a hard object as the unit could fail.
• Avoid using a mobile telephone near this units in use. Noise could be picked up.
• To clean, be sure to first cut off power to the unit, then wipe with a dry cloth.
When the unit gets very dirty, use a cloth damped in a neutral cleanser. Never use benzene, thinner or
chemically-treated cleaning cloth because such volatile liquids could deform or discolor the unit.
