Norm, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I would definitely like to know more about the M560 that you talked about. Does anyone have more information and does it worked with OS 10.2.2? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Telex M560 is a directional desktop microphone. It has mediocre accuracy and tends to easily pickup any background noise as a word or words. If you are disabled, you are better off with a high quality handheld microphone that is mounted in a stand or on our Balanced Microphone Arm. You should be facing the microphone and fairly close to it (5 or 6" maximum) but it is easy to have someone adjust the arm so it is near you. I recommend you use our Foam Windscreen to mitigate stray noise pickup.
