M3 Wireless In-Ear Monitor System
Audio-Technica’s advanced M3 IEM system offers a full range of professional in-ear monitoring features, with a choice of 1321 UHF channels and easy-to-read LCD information displays on both transmitter and receiver for setting preferences. The stereo monitor system is equipped with Audio-Technica’s versatile Personal Mix Control, which allows volume and mix control of two independent signals on stage, via controls on the M3R stereo body-pack receiver. While up to 16 complete M3 systems may be used simultaneously, any number of M3R stereo receivers can operate on the same frequency with a single M3T stereo transmitter. The M3T Stereo Transmitter is equipped with two XLR/¼” combo input connectors into which users can connect line-level inputs (from a mixing console, for example). The M3T also offers a headphone output that allows you to monitor transmitter input signals directly.- High-fidelity sound with clean, articulate mix allows performers to hear themselves clearly at lower volume
- 1321 selectable UHF channels with automatic frequency scanning
- Up to 16 simultaneous systems per frequency band
- Three receiver modes: Personal Mix, stereo, and mono
- Personal Mix Control allows volume and mix control of two independent signals at the receiver
- LCD information display offers step-through menus for setting preferences
- XLR loop output (true pass-through) connects signal to mixing console, additional IEM system or recording device with no signal degradation
- Adjustable squelch eliminates annoying static
- Pilot tone protects against RF interference when transmitter is turned off
- Multi-level limiter (defeatable) helps protect hearing from sudden peaks
- Portable system is quick to load and set up
- Reduces on-stage audio clutter for better overall mix & less feedback
- Use any number of Stereo Receivers (with individual mixes) on the same frequency

Great deal, well under a G Note
I got these from a local dealer hoping that I wouldn't have to pony up for a set of Shure's and so that I wouldn't add to the noise confusion that was occurring already (someone else wanted to add another floor monitor). I found it excessively easy to set up and start using, got my mix set up and shoot vocals to one side and instruments to the other. I have yet to get a set of custom molds, but the included ear tips seem to work just fine at blocking out the ambient noise and allow me to focus on my singing and playing. The unit has more options than I really need, which is weird because I LOVE bells & whistles.

Reliable and always ready!
We have used the M3 systems for 4 years now on the road and like them very much. We do not use the supplied ear buds though. We bought Westone ones which we liked better. The four star rating is for the body pack. It's large and bulky and it's really hard to get the batteries in and out of them. They use up batteries a bit faster than your wireless instrument or vocal pack but still go for a good 3-4 hours with rechargeables depending on the outside temp. Over all they are great, rugged and trustworthy systems.

Will using multiple M3R Stereo Receivers with the same M3T Stereo Transmitter create interference with current wireless microphones?
My church is looking to purchase 5 M3R Stereo Receivers and 1 M3T Stereo Transmitter. Will this create any interference with our current wireless microphones (which are Audio Technica 3000 Series)?

Not if you set the M3 transmitter to a different frequency other than the 3000 series system(s). It will work wonderfully!Age:Â 45-54

Answer:Â
No, your other wireless systems (AT3000 Series) are on bands C & D and should not have any interference with the monitor bands L & M. They are made to work happily together:o)Age:Â 25-34

Thank you for your inquiry. The M3 system is available in 2 bands in the US (L Band 572 MHz - 607.999 MHz and the M Band 614 MHz to 649.666 MHz). These are outside any of the 3 frequency bands used by the 3000 series. Just one caution, do not place M3 transmitters and 3000 series receivers in the same rack. Separate them by 4 feet and you should be okAge:Â 45-54

Could one use the M2 transmitter with an M3R receiver of the same band, "M" for example??

I called tech support and ask the same question because I wanted to be able to easily switch the frequency so I could hear each band member's different monitor mix to troubleshoot when they say they are having problems (which ALWAYS turn out to be user error on their part LOL)You CANNOT use the M3 recievers with the M2 transmitter.

The M2T was designed to work with the M2R and the M3T was designed for the M3R. It has not been tested and it is recommended to mix components between models.Age:Â 45-54

Thank you for your inquiry. The difference between the L band and M band is the frequencies they operate on. Band L operates from 575.000 to 608.000 MHz and Band M operates on 614.000 to 647.000 MHz. From a functionality standpoint the systems are the same.Age:Â 45-54
