Audio-Technica Introduces M3 And M2 Wireless In-Ear Monitor Systems At NAMM

Audio-Technica, a longstanding leader in wireless and transducer technology, today announces the introduction of its new M3 and M2 Wireless In-Ear Monitor Systems. Designed for working musicians who want control over what they hear onstage and are looking for a great alternative to traditional wedge monitors, both systems feature A-T's Personal Mix Control, which offers independent control of volume and mix at the receiver.

In addition to providing the performer with complete freedom of movement on stage, each system offers a lightweight body-pack stereo receiver and a stereo transmitter equipped with two 1/4"/XLR combo input connectors, into which users can connect line-level inputs from a mixing console. Both the M3 and M2 systems are equipped with A-T EP3 earphones that offer a proprietary Audio-Technica dynamic driver for detailed high-fidelity sound, allowing performers to hear themselves at comfortable SPL's. The EP3 earphones come with three sizes of rubber flexible eartips and a universal-fit foam tip for a custom fit, increased isolation and long-wearing listening comfort without ear fatigue.

The ongoing development and expansion of Audio-Technica's line of wireless products is based on extensive in-the-field research and user input, further emphasizing Audio-Technica's commitment to supplying high-quality products for all segments of the wireless market.
