Overview
The M2T Digital Half-Rack Transmitter with analog and digital Dante™ 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 provides a truly unique IEM product for demanding, professional applications. The M2T 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 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 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, rock solid stereo imaging, and extremely low distortion of <0.15%. The M2T 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.
