AUDIOTECHNICA M2LM2M Details
The M2 Wireless In-Ear Monitor System is designed to make professional in-ear monitoring features accessible for performers who want to be free from the problems associated with floor wedges. The stereo monitor system offers Personal Mix Control, which gives each musician volume and mix control of two independent signals on stage, via easy-to-use controls on the M2R stereo body-pack receiver. The wireless UHF M2T Stereo Transmitter provides a choice of 100 selectable frequencies and is equipped with two XLR/¼” combo input connectors into which users can connect line-level inputs. While up to 10 complete M2 systems may be used on stage simultaneously, any number of M2R stereo receivers may be used on the same frequency with a single M2T stereo transmitter. These rugged systems are built to stand up to the inevitable bumps of life on the road, delivering clear, natural sound for touring and installed-sound uses.

Personal Mix Control in a lightweight body-pack
Audio-Technica is proud to introduce its new M2 and M3 Wireless In-Ear Monitor Systems. These feature-rich systems are designed to provide comfortable, crystal-clear sound on stage. Both systems are equipped with earphones offering a proprietary Audio-Technica dynamic driver with richly detailed high-fidelity sound. The clean, articulate mix allows performers to hear themselves at a comfortable volume. Instead of hearing a one-size-fits-all mix, performers have the benefit of Audio-Technica’s Personal Mix Control, offering independent control of volume and mix at the receiver. Delivering a wide array of professional features, the M2 & M3 Wireless In-Ear Monitor Systems are the new standard for in-ear audio in live performance.

Why choose in-ear monitors?
Hear what you want. When you want. How you want.
Clarity is first among the many reasons to make the switch from traditional floor monitors to wireless in-ear monitor systems for live performance. Many musicians find that traditional floor monitors are not giving them the articulate sound they need; they either can’t hear themselves clearly, or can’t hear themselves at all when stage volume is loud. As a result, they may experience voice strain from singing at unsustainable levels in an attempt to be heard above the on-stage noise level.
Another sound issue often plays into the decision to switch to in-ear monitors: as traditional floor wedges contribute to rising noise levels on stage, many performers are troubled by feedback, and by an overall audience mix that is muddied by stage spill from the floor monitors.
Often, artists choose in-ear monitors because they want to control what they hear on stage, creating a personal mix that’s tailored for their best performance. Others turn to in-ear monitors to help control and limit exposure to high sound pressure levels for hearing conservation. Some are simply tired of lugging heavy and cumbersome monitor equipment to each gig.
