Description

As the most powerful microphone on the market, the HGM-1 will get you at least triple the audio pickup of the lesser microphones. Most computers and tape recorders come with an inexpensive microphone that will only pickup voices from 2 to 3 feet. There's a number of reasons for this, such as lack of power to the jack where you plug the microphone in. If your microphone doesn't use a battery, then its made for dictating (speaking within 2-3 feet of it). The HGM-1 utilizes a hi-power battery which lasts 600 hours and allows the microphone to actually track voices up to 45 feet away while filtering out background noise such as air conditioning & paper shuffling.

What makes the HGM-1 court reporter microphone so special? The Court Reporter Microphone utilizes a hearing aid IC chip to actively track the human voice making it the #1 selling court reporting microphone in the world. The software in this Court Reporter Microphone raises the human voice and lowers the back ground noise. This is extremely important when you are scoping to understand what is being said.

    Best court reporter microphone, 10/30/2009

    Posted by Lois Dimmig (Lakeland, FL) on 4th Feb 2014

    I have just purchased a Diamante, and I have been told that the Martel HGM-1 is the must-have court reporter microphone to go with it. This court reporter microphone was recommended unanimously by my fellow court reporters. Our courtrooms are large and have a very noisy air conditioning system. The range and filtering capabilities of this microphone are truly impressive.

    Posted by Tom Kittle (Memphis, TN) on 4th Feb 2014

    Court reporter hi gain microphone. I have used the Martel court reporter hi gain microphone for over a decade now. I have relied on it for all my depositions. I use it with my Élan machine. The court reporter microphone works best though with my case catalyst software. Martel's hi gain microphone made for court reporters has the clearest sound I have heard. Everyone in my office uses this court microphone. I will continue to buy this court reporter microphone for as long as I am court reporting.

    New Features on my court reporter microphone., 9/28/2009

    Posted by Jon Taylor (El Paso, TX) on 4th Feb 2014

    I work in a large court system. I notice something very special about the last microphone I bought from Martel. It has a voice tracking ic chip in the microphone that boots the court reporters microphone. The court reporter microphone is the hgm1. What a difference it has made to my audio sync program. I don't have to get up for side bars anymore. Now even the videographer is asking me for my .wav files as back up to his video recordings.

    case catalyst and my Martel court reporter microphone, 9/1/2009

    Posted by Martha Johnson (Seattle, WA) on 4th Feb 2014

    I have been a customer of Martel for over 20 years now. The court reporter microphone I have bought over these years has never let me down. Its 3 times the microphone sold by other companies. It tracks voice and regulates the ambient background noise with a hearing aid ic chip. Real time court reporters have to have one of these in the tool box.

    I have used the Martel Court Reporter microphone for about 15 years now. I own 2 of them. One for my Toshiba and one for my Mira steno machine. These court reporter microphones have never let me down. If you don't have one get one, as a court reporter you cant afford not to have a certified court reporter microphone.

    My main job as a NCRA realtime court reporter and the only Court reporter microphone, 7/11/2009

    Posted by Mark Taylor (San Francisco, CA) on 4th Feb 2014

    This is by far the best court reporter microphone. I have used this same court reporter microphone for over 12 years now. It has never let me down. The official court reporter microphone can filter out back ground noise and track voice and it really does. Don't waste your time looking for a better court reporter microphone.
