Introduction
The M2T, M2T/E01, M2T/E02, M2T/E06 Digital HalfRack 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, digital RF modulation and two stereo
digital channels, the M2T, M2T/E01, M2T/E02, M2T/
E06 provides a truly unique IEM product for demanding,
professional applications.
The M2T, M2T/E01, M2T/E02, M2T/E06 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 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 out-of-band noise and spurious signals.
Conventional in-ear wireless monitor systems rely on
decades-old technology: FM transmission with multiplexed, companded audio. The M2T, M2T/E01, M2T/
E02, M2T/E06 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, M2T/E01, M2T/E02, M2T/E06 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.
