WARNING!
USE AS LOW AVOLUME AS POSSI LE. PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE
CAN RESULT FROM USINGTHIS SYSTEM AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES.
For safe operation of this in-ear monitor system, do not listen at excessive
sound pressure levels.
Most national safety and health administrations have established guidelines
for maximum time being exposed to sound pressure levels before hearing
damage occurs.
85 d (A) SPL at 8 hours
88 d (A) SPL at 4 hours
91 d (A) SPL at 2 hours
94 d (A) SPL at 1 hour
97 d (A) SPL at 30 minutes
100 d (A) SPL at 15 minutes
120 dB(A) SPL — av id r hearing damage may ccur
In live settings it is difficult to make exact measurements of Sound
Pressure Levels (SPL) present at the eardrum, which is affected not only
by the In-Ear Monitor volume, but by ambient sound on the stage and
other factors.
To protect your ears from hearing damage:
• Use the in-ear monitor system at the lowest volume possible; turn up
the volume only enough to hear
• e aware that ringing in your ears may indicate that the volume is set
too high.
• Have your ears examined regularly by an audiologist.
• If wax builds up in your ears, stop using the in-ear monitor system
until you have seen an audiologist.
• To avoid infections, use an antiseptic to wipe the earphones before
and after using the system.
• Stop using the earphones if you experience ear discomfort or infection.

Notice to individuals with implanted cardiac pacemakers or AICD
devices: Any source of RF (radio frequency) energy may interfere with
normal functioning of the implanted device. All wireless microphones have
low-power transmitters (less than 0.05 watts output) which are unlikely to
cause difficulty, especially if they are at least a few inches away. However,
since a “body-pack” mic transmitter typically is placed against the body, we
suggest attaching it at the belt, rather than in a shirt pocket where it may be
immediately adjacent to the medical device. Note also that any medical-
device disruption will cease when the RF transmitting source is turned off.
Please contact your physician or medical-device provider if you have any
questions, or experience any problems with the use of this or any other RF
equipment.
CAUTION!The circuits inside the receiver and transmitter have been precisely
adjusted for optimum performance and compliance with federal regulations.
Do not attempt to open the receiver or transmitter.To do so will void the war-
ranty, and may cause improper operation.
Warning:To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain
or moisture.
• To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.
• Do not expose this apparatus to drips and splashes.
• Do not place any objects filled with liquids such as vases on the apparatus.
• Do not install this apparatus in a confined space such as a bookcase or
similar unit.
•The apparatus should be located close enough to the AC outlet so that you
can easily grasp the AC adapter at anytime.
Dispose of batteries in an environmentally responsible manner according
to the local laws and regulations of your region. Some batteries may be
recycled, and may be accepted for disposal at your local recycling center. If
you are not able to identify the applicable rules in your area, please check the
instructions of the battery manufacturer.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire or trash incinerator, or leave batteries in
hot places such as an automobile under direct sunlight. Do not store
batteries near an oven, stove, or other heat source.
About RF Interference
Please note that wireless frequencies are shared with other radio services.
According to Federal Communications Commission regulations,
“Wireless microphone operations are unprotected from interference from
other licensed operations in the band. If any interference is received by
any Government or non-Government operation, the wireless microphone
must cease operation...” If you need help with operation or frequency se-
lection, please contact your local dealer or Audio-Technica. Extensive
wireless information also is available at www.audio-technica.com.
Warning—Use as low volume levels as possible.
To prevent damage to your eardrums, never use this system at excessive
volume levels. Listening to loud sounds for an extended period may cause
temporary or permanent hearing damage.

Thank you for buying theAudio-Technica M3Wireless In-Ear Monitor
System. This feature-rich in-ear monitor system is designed to provide
you with comfortable high-fidelity sound on stage.
The M3 is a frequency-agile in-ear monitor system designed to make
stage monitoring more effective, comfortable, portable, and intelligible.
The M3R Stereo Receiver allows the user to create and control his/her
own mix on stage with Personal Mix Control that offers independent
control of volume and mix at the receiver. The M3T StereoTransmitter
offers two 1/4"/XLR combo input connectors into which users can connect
line-level inputs (from a mixing console, for example).The M3T Stereo
Transmitter also offers a headphone output that allows you to monitor
transmitter input signals directly. The transmitter and receiver each offer
an LCD information display that provides step-through menus for set-
ting preferences. The supplied earphones are equipped with a
proprietary Audio-Technica dynamic driver offering a full frequency
response and richly detailed high-fidelity sound. The clean, articulate
mix allows performers to hear themselves at comfortable SPLs. The
earphones come with three sizes of flexible rubber eartips and a
universal-fit foam tip for a custom fit, increased isolation and long-
wearing listening comfort.
Note: M3 “L” Band receivers must be used only with “L” Band
transmitters; the same holds true for M3 “M,” “E,” and “F” Band
receivers and transmitters. For multiple-channel applications, as
many as 16 systems may be used together per frequency band.

ow to install the batteries in your M3R Stereo Receiver
Each M3R 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 batteries
3. Close the door, making certain the latches click securely in place.
Note:The M3R Stereo Receiver’s “fuel gauge” battery indicator
displays a maximum of four bar segments.When it flashes
“LOW.BAT”, the batteries should be replaced immediately to
ensure continued operation.
System Operation
Placement:
Location
For best operation, place the M3T StereoTransmitter 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 metal objects. Audio-Technica recommends that you do not locate
the M3T StereoTransmitter 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. Power on your receiver (without earphones) with volume i
mi imum positio .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.
4. Power on the transmitter.
5. Set the receiver and transmitter to the same frequency group and
frequency channel. (See page 17.)Note: Do not set more than
one transmitter to the same frequency.
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 connectors
on the back of the M3T StereoTransmitter.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 AF level indicators (on right side of transmitter LCD) are consistently
at or above +3, set the attenuator to -10 or -20 d 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 page 12.)
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 mi imum positio .
14. With volume on receiver at mi imum positio , put earphones into
your ears and gradually increase volume until appropriate level is
reached.

choice. Hold the Mode/Set (or Set) button to accept the new choice.
Touch the Up/Down arrow buttons to scroll through the available
choices for the last three digits of the frequency, stopping on the
desired choice. Hold the Mode/Set (or Set) button to accept the new
choice. “STORED” appears in the display when the choice is accepted.
The unit then returns to Menu mode. Note:To escape from Edit
mode without making any changes, touch the Mode/Set (or
Set) button. “ESCA E” appears briefly in the display, and the
unit returns to Menu mode.
2. Instead of manually selecting a frequency, you may select a
frequency group and channel (Group 1 – Channel 1 through
Group 6 – Channel 16) via the GROUP menu on the LCD window
of the M3T StereoTransmitter and M3R Stereo Receiver.
When “GROUP” is displayed, touch the Mode/Set (or Set) button.
The small word “EDIT” appears in the display, indicating Edit mode.
Touch the Up/Down arrow buttons to scroll through the available
choices for the function, stopping on the desired choice. Hold the
Mode/Set (or Set) button to accept the new choice. “STORED”
appears in the display when the choice is accepted. The unit then
returns to Menu mode. Note:To escape from Edit mode without
making any changes, touch the Mode/Set (or Set) button.
“ESCAPE” appears briefly in the display, and the unit returns
to Menu mode.
Note: All channels within a given group are compatible. If you
are using multiple transmitters, set each transmitter to a different
channel within the same group.
3. In the event that the preprogrammed frequency groups (available
under the Group menu) do not meet your requirements,
Audio-Technica allows you to program custom frequency
groups as follows:
Hold the Mode/Set (or Set) button while “PROG” is displayed in
the LCD window. The display will show the custom frequency group
number “U1” and channel “ 1”; change this field with the Up/Down
arrows (scrolling through 16 channels for each of three frequency
groups, U1 – U3, until you arrive at the group and channel number
you want to program. Hold the Mode/Set (or Set) button a second
time. The first three digits of the frequency will flash; you may
change this field with up-down arrows. Hold the Mode/Set (or Set)
button a third time. Now the second three digits of the frequency
will flash; you may change this field with the Up/Down arrows. Hold
the Mode/Set (or Set) button again.The display will briefly show
“STORED”, and the unit will return to normal operation.
4. On the M3R Stereo Receiver, you also have the choice of using
the Automatic Frequency Scanning function to select a
frequency, as follows:
• When “SCAN” is displayed in the LCD window, touch the Set
button; then the word “MENU” will disappear from the window,
and the small word “EDIT” will appear in the display along with
the frequency group G1.
• Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to reach any of the following
scan groups: G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, U1, U2, or U3.
• Press the Set button once to select one of these nine Scan groups
and begin the scan. The word “SCAN” will appear briefly in the
LCD window; then the lowest available channel in the selected
Scan group will appear in the LCD window.
• If you do not wish to use the frequency found, you may press the
Up or Down arrow. The Up arrow will scan upwards, the Down
arrow will scan downwards, from the frequency you are on.
• To activate a frequency selection, press and hold the Set button
until the word “STORED” appears in the LCD window. (If you do
not wish to complete this particular selection, just press the
Mode/Set button once. The word “ESCAPE” will appear briefly in
the window and the receiver will return to the Menu mode.)
• After you have activated your frequency selection, the word “Menu”
will reappear in the window, indicating the return to normal operation.
• If you are using multiple systems, after completing the first receiver's
scan and frequency selection, set the transmitter to the same
frequency; leave the transmitter On, and run the next receiver’s
automatic scan function. Always set a receiver-transmitter pair to
the same frequency before using the automatic scan function to
select a frequency for the next receiver. (When using multiple
transmitters, always use the same frequency group.)

ow to select a frequency (continued)
Each transmitter/receiver system operates on a choice of over 1250
switch-selected frequencies per band. Available frequencies are shown
in the chart on page 17. When using multiple transmitters, always use
the same frequency group.
M3 “L” and transmitters must be used only with “L” and receivers;
the same holds true for all the frequency bands (i.e., always use
receivers and transmitters that operate in the same band). The and
marking will be found on the antenna of both the M3T StereoTransmitter
and M3R Stereo Receiver.
Note: Because these frequencies are shared withTV broadcasting
(depending on country of use), frequency selection is largely
dependent upon whichTV broadcast channels are in operation
where the wireless system is to be used.
Squelch Control
The squelch control is preset at the factory, but can be adjusted if you
must use the system in a high RF interference area. If there is audio
output from the receiver when your transmitter is off, adjust the
squelch control so the system will receive the signal from your
transmitter but “squelch” or eliminate the unwanted background RF
noise. This adjustment will cause a reduction in useable range of the
wireless transmitter, so set the control to the lowest position which
reliably mutes the unwanted RF signals.
Setting Levels
Correct adjustment of transmitter audio input and receiver audio output
is important for optimum system performance.
The M3T StereoTransmitter trim (volume) controls (See Trim Control,
page 7) have factory pre-set audio input levels. Factory setting is 0
( o atte uatio ). With a source plugged into the transmitter (at typical
levels), check the AF level indicator on the transmitter. If the AF is
consistently at +3 or above, it may be necessary to adjust the transmitter
trim until the AF level indicator is no longer consistently at high levels.
No further transmitter trim adjustments should be needed, as long as
the acoustic input does not change significantly.
Aux In jack
The M3R Stereo Receiver offers a 3.5 mm Aux In jack that allows you to
add another audio source, such as a click track, or ambient microphone
(optional Audio-Technica lavalier microphone).
• To use a condenser microphone as an ambient microphone, select
Mic Level from the Aux Level menu on the M3R Stereo Receiver
(See Aux evel, page 9); plug the microphone into the Aux In jack;
and adjust the Mic Volume as needed (See Mic Vol, page 9).
• To use the Aux In jack as a line-level input, select Line Level from
the Aux Level menu on the M3R Stereo Receiver (See Aux evel
(Receiver), page 9); 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 M3R 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.

SystemApplications
The nature of in-ear monitoring allows for endless experimentation; the
M3 Wireless In-Ear Monitor System can be easily configured to meet
your 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 system
operation. (See page 10.)
3 Receiver Modes: Personal Mix Control, Stereo, Mono
The M3 Wireless In-Ear Monitor System offers three receiver modes:
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 M3R Receiver’s balance control.
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 M3R 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.
Mono setup: The mono setup is used when only a single mono
mix is available.The user hears that mix through both ears.
Stereo setup. See image A on page 14.
asic stereo setup
1. On M3R Stereo Receiver:
Set STEREO Output;
Set STEREO Mode. (See page 9)
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 M3T StereoTransmitter; connect the second aux
output from your mixer to the R/2 input on your M3T Stereo
Transmitter.
4. Monitor the AF level 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 M3R 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 M3T StereoTransmitter’s loop output to connect
L/1 and R/2 to a recording device.
9. (Optional). Insert Audio-Technica lavalier microphone (available
separately) into M3R Stereo Receiver to increase awareness of
ambient sound.
10. Any number of additional M3R Stereo Receivers can be set to the
same frequency and receive the same mix.
Personal Mix Control. See image on page 14.
Typical two-channel operation using Personal Mix Control
1. On M3R Stereo Receiver:
Set MIX Ouput;
Set STEREO Mode.
2. Create a band mix with an aux channel of your mixing console.
3. On a separate aux channel of your mixing console, create a second
mix featuring vocals. (Alternatively, this second mix could feature
guitars, drums, keyboards, etc.)
4. Connect the band mix aux output to the R/2 input on your M3T
Stereo Transmitter.
5. Connect the vocal mix aux output to the L/1 input on your M3T
Stereo Transmitter.
6. Monitor the AF level indicators on front of transmitter to make
certain the signal is not clipping. (Signal is clipped when the peak
light is on constantly or distortion is heard.)
7. If necessary, use the trim control to adjust input level.
8. Turn the M3R Stereo Receiver’s balance control toward the left to
hear more vocal (L/1) in both ears; turn the receiver’s balance
control to the right to hear more band (R/2) in both ears.
9. (Optional). Insert Audio-Technica lavalier microphone (available
separately) into M3R Stereo Receiver to increase awareness of

AVERTISSEMENT :
UTILISEZ LE SYSTÈME EN METTANT LE VOLUME LE PLUS AS
POSSI LE. L’UTILISATION DU SYSTÈME À DES VOLUMES TROP
IMPORTANTS PEUT PROVOQUER DES DOMMAGES AUDITIFS
IRRÉVERSI LES.
Pour utiliser ce système de retour personnel en toute sécurité, ne pas
écouter à des niveaux excessifs de pression acoustique.
Dans la plupart des pays, les autorités compétentes en matière de sécurité
et de santé au travail ont établi des directives relatives au temps maximal
d’exposition à différents niveaux de pression acoustique avant la survenance
de dommages au système auditif.
85 d (A) SPL : 8 heures
88 d (A) SPL : 4 heures
91 d (A) SPL : 2 heures
94 d (A) SPL : 1 heure
97 d (A) SPL : 30 minutes
100 d (A) SPL : 15 minutes
120 dB(A) SPL : à éviter, risque élevé de d mmage du système auditif
Dans les environnements de direct, il est difficile de mesurer avec exactitude
le niveau de pression acoustique (SPL – Sound Pressure Level) au niveau du
tympan ; en effet, celui-ci est déterminé par le volume du système de retour
personnel, mais aussi par le son ambiant sur la scène et d’autres facteurs.
Pour éviter des dommages à votre système auditif :
• Utilisez le système de retour personnel au volume le plus bas possible ;
limitez le volume à un niveau permettant l’écoute
• Gardez à l’esprit qu’un sifflement ou un tintement dans vos oreilles peut
indiquer que le volume est trop élevé.
• Faites régulièrement contrôler vos oreilles par un audiologiste.
• Si vous constatez des accumulations de cérumen dans vos oreilles,
consultez un audiologiste avant d’utiliser encore le système.
• Pour éviter les infections, nettoyez les écouteurs à l’aide d’un produit
antiseptique avant et après l’utilisation.

Note aux personnes portant des stimulateurs cardiaques ou
défibrillateurs automatiques: Toute source d'énergie RF (radiofréquence)
est susceptible d'interférer avec le fonctionnement normal de l'appareil
implanté. Tous les microphones sans fil ont des émetteurs basse puissance
(moins de 0,05 watts) qui ne doivent pas vous poser de difficultés,
particulièrement si vous les tenez éloignés de quelques centimètres.
Toutefois, comme l'émetteur de poche est sensé se porter à même le
corps, nous vous suggérons de l'attacher à la ceinture plutôt que dans
une poche de chemise où il serait directement à proximité de l'appareil
médical. Notez également qu'il suffit d'éteindre la source émettrice de
RF pour que l'appareil médical se remette à fonctionner normalement.
Veuillez consulter votre médecin ou le fournisseur de votre appareil médical
si vous avez des questions ou rencontrez des problèmes lors de l'emploi
de cet équipement RF ou d'un autre.
ATTENTION ! Les circuits du récepteur et de l’émetteur ont été réglés
avec précision pour offrir des performances optimales et être en conformité
avec les réglementations fédérales des Etats-Unis. Ne tentez pas d’ouvrir
le récepteur ou l’émetteur ; en le faisant, vous perdez votre garantie et
vous risquez de provoquer un mauvais fonctionnement de l’appareil.
Attention : Pour éviter les risque d’incendie ou de choc électrique, ne pas
exposer l'appareil à la pluie ou à l’humidité.
• Ne pas ouvrir le boîtier : risque d’électrocution. Le service de l’appareil
doit être confié exclusivement à du personnel qualifié.
• Ne pas exposer l’appareil à des écoulements ou des projections d’eau.
• Ne pas placer des récipients remplis d’eau sur l’appareil (vases, etc.).
• Ne pas placer l’appareil dans un endroit fermé ou confiné (bibliothèque,
etc.).
• Veillez à ce que la distance de l’appareil par rapport à la prise de courant
soit telle que vous puissiez saisir l’adaptateur CA sans difficulté à tout
moment.
Éliminez les piles de façon respectueuse de l’environnement et dans le
respect de la législation et de la réglementation applicable à votre région.
Certaines piles sont recyclables et peuvent être remises à votre centre de
recyclage local. S’il vous est impossible de déterminer la réglementation
applicable dans votre région, reportez-vous aux instructions du fabricant
des piles.
Ne jetez pas les piles au feu ou dans un incinérateur d’ordures ; ne le
laissez pas à un endroit chaud, par exemple une voiture garée au soleil.
Ne rangez pas les piles près d’un poêle, d’une cuisinière, d’un four ou
d’autres sources de chaleur.
A propos des interférences RF
Veuillez noter que les fréquences des communications sans fil sont
partagées avec d’autres services radio. Selon les réglementations de la
Commission fédérale américaine pour les communications (FCC), « le
fonctionnement de microphones sans fil n’est pas protégé contre les
interférences venant d’autres utilisations autorisées de la bande. En cas
d’interférence provenant d’une utilisation officielle ou non officielle au-
torisée, il doit être mis fin au fonctionnement du microphone sans fil ... »
Pour toute assistance en vue de l’utilisation de l’appareil ou de la sélection
de fréquences, veuillez vous adresser à votre concessionnaire local ou
avec Audio-Technica. Vous trouverez des informations étendues sur les
équipements sans fil et leur utilisation sur www.audio-technica.com.
Avertissement – Utilisez toujours un niveau de volume aussi bas que
possible.
Pour éviter les lésions aux tympans, évitez d’utiliser ce système à un
volume sonore trop élevé. L’écoute à un volume sonore très élevé
pendant des périodes prolongées peut provoquer des dommages auditifs
temporaires ou irréversibles.
