M2T/E01
Introduction
The M2T/E01 Digital Half-Rack Transmitter with analog
and digital Dante™ optional network audio inputs
presents an excellent sounding IEM system with a unique
level of performance in a wireless in-ear monitor system.
With ultra-low latency, 24-bit audio, digital RF modulation
and two stereo digital channels, the M2T/E01 provides
a truly unique IEM product for demanding, professional
applications.
The M2T/E01 boasts a USB port for firmware updates
and an IR port for fast setup. A large, high resolution,
backlit LCD and large membrane switches provide an
intuitive interface that is highly visible in daylight or dimly
lit conditions.
The half-rack transmitter provides four audio inputs which
can be individually configured to be analog or Dante
compatible. The input connectors are full size XLR/TRS
combo types for balanced line level analog signals. Input
preamp circuits use a special balanced amplifier with very
high common mode rejection to minimize hum and noise.
Analog signals are converted to an internal 24-bit digital
format which is then encoded, organized into packets,
and passed to an RF modulator. The modulated RF signal
is filtered before and after amplification to suppress outof-band noise and spurious signals.
Conventional in-ear wireless monitor systems rely
on decades-old technology: FM transmission with
multiplexed, companded audio. The M2T/E01 Transmitter
employs unique technology to provide ruler-flat frequency
response from 20 Hz to 15 kHz and maximum channel
separation. In addition, the digital audio eliminates a
compandor and the associated artifacts. The result is
crystal clear sound and extremely low distortion
of <0.15%.
The M2T/E01 is designed and developed with the
professional touring, installation, theater and broadcast
customers in mind. The transmitter chassis is all-metal.
The front panel is an aluminum extrusion with a durable
powder coat finish.
What is Dante?
Audinate’s patent pending Dante™ technology is a
flexible Internet Protocol (IP) and Ethernet based digital
AV network technology that eliminates the many bulky
cables needed to provide point-to-point wiring for analog AV installations.
With Dante, existing infrastructure can be used for high
performance audio as well as for ordinary control, monitoring or business data traffic. Digital networks utilize
standard IP over Ethernet offering high bandwidth capable of transporting hundreds of high quality channels
over Gigabit Ethernet.
Set-up and configuring the system is made easy as
well, saving enormous installation costs and long term
cost of ownership on a digital network. The physical
connecting point is irrelevant: audio signals can be
made available anywhere and everywhere. Patching
and routing now become logical functions configured in
software, not via physical wired links
Summary of Dante Benefits
• Plug-and-play technology – automatic discovery
and simple signal routing
• Reduced Cost & Complexity- No special skills
required to set up audio networking
• Sample accurate playback synchronization
• Add/remove/rearrange components at will
• Deterministic latency throughout the network
• Support mixed bit depths and mixed sample
rates over one network
• Scalable, flexible network topology supporting a
large number of senders and receivers
• Supports 1Gbps networks
• Supports a single integrated network for audio,
video, control, monitoring
• Uses inexpensive, off-the-shelf computer
networking equipment

System Setup Procedures
Summary of Steps
1) Connect power using supplied DCR15/4AU power
supply.
2) Power receiver and scan RF spectrum on site.
3) Sync Scan to transfer information from receiver
to transmitter.
4) Tune transmitter to unoccupied channels in scan.
5) Sync receiver (refer to receiver manual).
6) Turn on transmitter RF.
7) Send audio sources to transmitter.
WARNING: Increasing the Pregain can make
headphone volume excessively loud. Use
caution when setting and using.
