Yaesu MD-100A8X - Desktop Dynamic Microphone Manual

Introduction

The MD-100_A8X features selectable low-cut filtering and high-emphasis active filtering that allow you to tailor the microphone response for optimum voice clarity or DX punch. The MD-100_A8X is designed for base station operation with the latest YAESU HF transceivers.

A multi-axis pivoting mount lets you adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the microphone to accommodate various locations and heights, or you can remove the microphone from the base and use it independently (an auxiliary toggling PTT button is provided, but the audio filtering and scan controls are not used).

The base of the MD-100_A8X includes a large push-to-talk switch and latching button, along with a large rotary up/ down slow/fast control for scanning. Jacks and cabling are provided to accommodate transceivers having either RJ-45 or round 8-pin MIC jacks.

Do not use with the FT-2400H/-7400H series, FT-2500, FT-8500 or others than those listed, as damage may result from modular jack wiring incompatibility.

Compatibility

The MD-100_A8X will work with past HF models that include the round 8-pin jack (note- on some models, the scan function may not operate).
When using the MD-100_A8X with the above transceivers, set the MAIN FILTER switch to the THRU position. The LOW CUT and HIGH EMPHASIS filter switches are disabled since no power is provided at the microphone jacks on these units.
