M2 Wireless In-Ear Monitor System—Introduction

Thank you for buying the Audio-Technica M2 Wireless In-Ear Monitor System. This feature-rich in-ear monitor system is designed to provide you with comfortable high-fidelity sound on stage.

The M2 is a frequency-agile in-ear monitor system designed to make stage monitoring more effective, comfortable, portable, and intelligible. The M2R

Stereo Receiver allows the user to create and control his/her own mix on stage with Personal Mix Control that offers independent control of volume and mix at the receiver. The M2T Stereo Transmitter offers two ¼”/XLR combo input

connectors into which users can directly connect instruments, microphones or other line-level and mic-level inputs (from a mixing console, for example). The EP3 earphones are equipped with a proprietary Audio-Technica dynamic driver offering a full frequency response and richly detailed high-fidelity sound. The clean, articulate mix allows performers to hear themselves at comfortable SPLs. The earphones come with three sizes of rubber flexible eartips and a universal-fit foam tip for a custom fit, increased isolation and long-wearing listening comfort.

Note: M2 “L” Band receivers must be used only with “L” Band transmitters; the same holds true for M2 “M” Band receivers and transmitters. For multiplechannel applications, as many as eight systems may be used together per frequency band.
