THE MP 40 MICROPEN FOR PRESENTERS

Designed for presentations, lectures, video shooting, and tour guide systems, the MP 40 micropen has been extremely popular for its versatility. Elegant and inconspicuous, it is small enough to fit in a jacket pocket.

Besides ease of handling, the MP 40 micropen also provides excellent intelligibility. The MicroPen can even be used as a handheld microphone, e.g., for interviews or talk shows so the reporter or host can give the micro- phone to the interviewee or a second mo- derator if necessary. To improve intelligibility and gain before feedback, it may sometimes

be necessary to increase the proportion of direct sound by placing the microphone clo- ser to the user's mouth. To this end, either use the convenient necklace cord supplied with the MP 40 micropen, or remove the microphone from the transmitter and clamp it on the lapel.

The C 407 omnidirectional condenser micro- phone is a proven design that has been spe- cifically optimized for miking up the speech frequency range. It is so small that it will almost disappear against its backing. Integrated in the transmitter is a special

compartment that keeps the microphone from falling out and protects it from damage.

The transmitter can be powered from a single

AAAsize dry or rechargeable battery. Battery life is approx. eight hours for a dry battery and approx. six hours for a rechargeable bat- tery. Charging is as easy as placing the trans- mitter in the optional CU 40 charger. The battery will be restored to full capacity in half an hour.

Just about time enough for a cup of coffee before the next lecture begins.

ON/MUTE/OFF switch

Setting the switch to the "MUTE" position mutes the audio sig- nal, while the transmitter continues radiating the RF carrier frequency. This prevents the receiver from being disturbed by other transmitters while the microphone is "off the air".

Battery status LED

Battery life is approx. eight hours for an AAA size 1.5 V dry battery and approx. six hours for a rechargeable battery. When the status LED is lit red constantly the battery will be dead in about 50 minutes. The maximum charging time for a rechargeable battery is one hour.

Cable compartment

The microphone cable is stored in a sepa- rate compartment with a removable cover.

Kind to your budget and the environment

The optional CU 40 charger provides a convenient way of charging the battery inside the transmitter via the charging contacts on the transmitter bottom panel. You don't even have to remove the battery for charging! Unlike conventional chargers, the CU 40 checks whether the battery inside the transmitter is a dry or rechargeable type and switches off automatically if it detects a dry battery. A quick charging function makes sure the batteries inside any AKG Microtool will be fully charged in less than one hour.
