We describe a method and present experimental results for obtaining electromagnetically induced transparency by adjusting the frequencies of two lasers so that they coincide with the centers of gravity of two hyperfine split transitions. No hyperfine states are in Raman resonance and the zero of the dipole moment results from the interference of the manifold of cooperating m states.
