724DIP SwitchesDIP Switch 1–LimiterLimits output level to earphones. Up—ON (factory setting); Down—OFF. IMPORTANT: Leave limiter ON. This setting protects your hearingfrom unexpected signal peaks; it does not protect your hearing fromlong-term exposure to high SPLs.DIP Switch 2–Headphones OutputSwitches headphones output between Mix and Stereo. Up—MIX; Down—STEREO (factory setting).Basic FunctionIn the Stereo setting (Down) the L1 signal goes to the left earphone; the R2 signal goes to the right earphone. In the Mix setting (Up), acombined signal from both the L/1 and R/2 inputs goes to both earphones.Advanced FunctionThese DIP switches interact with the Mode Switch (4) settings (see below). Please see page 10-11 for diagrams of combined settings.DIP Switch 3–Mic/LineThe Mic/Line switch changes the auxiliary input from mic level to linelevel. Up—MIC; Down—LINE (factory setting). See page 10-11 for moreinformation.DIP Switch 4–Mode Switch: Mono/StereoThe Mode Switch changes the receiving mode from Mono to Stereo.Up—MONO; Down—STEREO (factory setting).This switch is used in conjunction with Headphones Output (2) as follows:Stereo Mode & Stereo Output. See image A on page 10.2 in STEREO Output (Down)4 in STEREO Mode (Down) The Stereo/Stereo configuration is used as follows: the L/1 input signalgoes to the left earphone; the R/1 input signal goes to the right earphone.Use the receiver’s balance control to adjust the stereo image.Stereo Mode & Mix Output. See image B on page 10.2 in MIX Output (Up)4 in STEREO Mode (Down) The Stereo/Mix configuration is used as follows: The signals from both the L/1 and R/2 inputs go to both the left and rightearphones. Use the receiver’s balance control as follows: turn clockwiseto make R/2 louder and L/1 quieter; turn counterclockwise to make L/1louder and R/2 quieter. (However you adjust the balance control, both theleft and right earphones will have the same total volume).Mono Mode.(Output setting does not apply here; either Mix or Stereo has the same result)Output (either Up or Down…)4 in MONO Mode (Up) The Mono/Mix configuration is used as follows: there is only one output from your mixer (connected to either the L/1 or R/2 input of yourtransmitter). This signal will go to both left and right earphones.When two-signal transmission is not required, use Mono Mode for improved signal-to-noise performance.4EN24How to install the batteries in your M2R Stereo Receiver Each M2R Stereo Receiver uses two 1.5V AA batteries, not included.Alkaline type is recommended. Always replace all batteries. Make certain the receiver power is Off before replacing batteries. 1. Open the battery compartment door by sliding tabs in the direction of the arrows and rotating the door open.2. Observe correct polarity as marked and carefully insert two fresh 1.5V AA alkaline batteries3. Close the door, making certain the latches click securely in place.Note: If the battery indicator LED turns red, replace the batteries.P52001_M2-System_OM 2/13/08 4:16 PM Page 7
8System OperationPlacement:LocationFor best operation, place the transmitter near the performance location.The transmitter should be at least 1 meter (3 feet) from the receiver.Keep antennas away from noise sources such as digital equipment,motors, automobiles and neon lights, as well as away from large metalobjects. Audio-Technica recommends that you do not locate the M2TStereo Transmitter in the same rack with a wireless microphone receiver.System set-up:1. Plug in the included AC adapter and connect to transmitter’s DC input.2. Insert two AA batteries in the receiver, observing polarity as indicated.3. Set the receiver and transmitter to the same frequency group and frequency channel. (See below.) Note: Do not set more than one transmitter to the same frequency. Multiple receivers may be set to the same frequency.4. Power on your receiver (without earphones) with volume in minimum position. Note: At this point, check to be certain the RF indictor is not illuminated. If it is illuminated before you have powered on the transmitter, this means the frequency you have chosen is already in use. Choose another frequency.5. Power on the transmitter.6. Check the RF LED on your receiver to be certain it is illuminated. (This indicates that it is receiving a signal from the transmitter.)7. Power off both units (transmitter and receiver).Audio set-up:8. Connect audio source(s) to inputs on the rear panel of the transmitter. There are two combination audio inputs on the back panel; each offers both XLR and 1/4" inputs. Use shielded audio cable for the connection between the transmitter and the audio source (mixer or instrument). Note: If you want to send the audio signal through your transmitter (to another transmitter or recording device, for instance), use the Loop output connectorson the back of the M2T Stereo Transmitter. The R/2 XLR jack duplicates the unprocessed signal of the R/2 input; the L/1 XLR jack duplicates the unprocessed signal of the L/1 input. These are not affected by front panel settings.9. Turn on the transmitter.10. Set the attenuator on rear panel of transmitter to appropriate level. If Input Level LEDs are consistently red or orange, set the attenuatorto -10 or -20 dB or turn the trim down for corresponding audio input.11. Trim levels are set at the factory to the maximum position; adjust if necessary. (See below.)12. Plug earphones into jack on receiver. Turn the locking ring clockwise until tight. NOTE: Do not put the earphones in your ears at this point.13. Turn on receiver with volume in minimum position.14. With volume on receiver at minimum position, put earphones into your ears and gradually increase volume until appropriate level is reached.How to select a frequency1. Select a frequency group (A-J) via the Frequency Group Selector on the front panel of the M2T Stereo Transmitter.2. Next, select a channel (1-10) via the Frequency Channel Selector on the front panel of the M2T Stereo Transmitter.3. Before turning on your receiver, use the provided screwdriver to set the receiver channel selector switches (see page 6) to the same frequency group and channel you have selected on the transmitter. Select frequency groups A-J and channels 1-10. The transmitter may be either on or off when changing channels (frequencies). Each transmitter/receiver system operates on a choice of 100 switch-selected frequencies per band (10 frequencies in 10 frequency groups).Available frequencies are shown in the chart on page 13. When usingmultiple transmitters, always use the same frequency group.M2 “L” Band transmitters must be used only with “L” Band receivers;the same holds true for all the frequency bands (i.e., always use receivers and transmitters that operate in the same band). The Bandmarking will be found on the antenna of both the M2T Stereo Transmit-ter and M2R Stereo Receiver.Note: Because these frequencies are shared with TV broadcasting(depending on country of use), frequency selection is largely dependent upon which TV broadcast channels are in operationwhere the wireless system is to be used.Squelch ControlThe squelch control is preset at the factory, but can be adjusted if youmust use the system in a high RF interference area. If there is audiooutput from the receiver when your transmitter is off, adjust thesquelch control so the system will receive the signal from your transmitter but “squelch” or eliminate the unwanted background RFnoise. This adjustment can cause a reduction in useable range of thewireless transmitter, so set the control to the lowest position which reliably mutes the unwanted RF signals.Setting LevelsCorrect adjustment of transmitter audio input is important for optimumsystem performance.The M2T Stereo Transmitter trim (volume) controls (See L/1 and R/2trim control, page 5) have factory pre-set audio input levels. Factorysetting is full clockwise, no attenuation. With a source plugged into thetransmitter (at typical levels, check the AF peak indicator on the transmitter. If the AF peak indicator is red, it may be necessary to adjust the transmitter trim control counter-clockwise until the AF peak indicator is illuminated only on audio peaks. No further transmitter trim adjustments should be needed, as long as the acoustic input does not change significantly.Aux In jackThe M2R Stereo Receiver offers a 1/8" Aux In jack that allows you to add another audio source, such as a click track, or ambient microphone(optional Audio-Technica lavalier microphone, available separately). • To use a condenser microphone as an ambient microphone, select Mic-level on the DIP switch inside receiver (see page 7), plug optional Audio-Technica lavalier microphone into the Aux In jack, and adjust volume control as needed.• To use the Aux In jack as a line-level input, select Line-level on the DIP switch inside the receiver (see page 7), plug line-level source (a click track, for example) into the Aux In jack. Note: If you connect a stereo source (such as an MP3 player) into the M2R Stereo Receiver’s Aux Input, be certain to use a mono adapter to protect your equipment from the DC voltage that is applied to the ring of the stereo connector.P52001_M2-System_OM 2/13/08 4:16 PM Page 8
9ENSystem ApplicationsThe nature of in-ear monitoring allows for endless experimentation; theM2 Wireless In-Ear Monitor System can be easily configured to meetyour individual needs. While there are countless ways to use the system,we have illustrated some typical setups below. Note: In conjunction with these setups, follow instructions for systemoperation. (See page 8.) 3 Receiver Modes: Personal Mix Control, Stereo, Mono The M2 Wireless In-Ear Monitor System offers three receiver modes: Personal Mix Control: The signals from L/1 and R/2 are mixed. The user hears the combined signal in both ears—and controls the mix (by adjusting the relative strength of the L/1 and R/2 signals) via the M2R Receiver’s balance control. This is most often used when the transmitter receives two very distinct mixes—such as band and vocal. During the performance, the user can control how much vocal is heard relative to the band mix. Stereo setup: The signals from L/1 and R/2 are separate (not mixed). The user hears L/1 through the left earphone, and R/2 through the right earphone. The user adjusts the relative level of each signal via the M2R Receiver’s balance control.Mono setup: The mono setup is used when only a single mono mix is available. The user hears that mix through both ears. When two-signal transmission is not required, use Mono Mode for improved signal-to-noise performance.Stereo setup. See image A on page 10.Basic stereo setup 1. Inside the M2R Stereo Receiver: Set DIP switch 2 to STEREO Output (Down); Set DIP switch 4 to STEREO Mode (Down). (See page 7)2. Create separate left and right band mixes using two aux channels from your mixing console. 3. Connect one of these aux outputs from your mixing console to the L/1 input on your M2T Stereo Transmitter; connect the second aux output from your mixer to the R/2 input on your M2T Stereo Transmitter.4. Monitor the LED indicators on front of transmitter to make certain signal is not clipping. (Signal is clipped when the peak light is on constantly.)5. If necessary, use the trim control to adjust input level.6. Use the balance control on your M2R Stereo Receiver to control the left/right stereo image. (Turn the balance control to the left to hear more of L/1; turn the balance control to the right to hear more of R/2.) 7. Adjust volume control to a comfortable, safe level. Note: Use volume levels as low as possible.8. (Optional). Use M2T Stereo Transmitter’s loop output to connect L/1 and R/2 to a recording device.9. (Optional). Insert optional Audio-Technica lavalier microphone (available separately) into M2R Stereo Receiver to increase awareness of ambient sound.10.
