Introduction

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, digital RF modulation and two stereo digital channels, the Duet System provides a truly unique IEM product for demanding, professional applications.

The M2T includes a front-panel 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 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 Duet system employs unique technology to provide ruler-flat frequency response from 20 Hz to 11.5 kHz and maximum channel separation. In addition, the digital audio eliminates a compandor and the associated artifacts. The result is crystal clear sound and extremely low distortion of <0.15%.

In today's world, signal encryption is becoming ever more important. The Duet systems offers both un-encrypted (Duet compat mode) and encrypted (DCHX compat mode) audio encoding. By selecting the DCHX compat mode in your M2Ra, the Duet system offers AES 256 Bit encryption with four different key policies, giving you a wide range of tools for information security.

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.

What is Dante?

Audinate's patent pending Dante™ technology is a flexible Internet Protocol (IP) and Ethernet based digital AV network technology that eliminates the many bulky cables needed to provide point-to-point wiring for analog AV installations.

With Dante, existing infrastructure can be used for high performance audio as well as for ordinary control, monitoring or business data traffic. Digital networks utilize standard IP over Ethernet offering high bandwidth capable of transporting hundreds of high quality channels over Gigabit Ethernet.

Set-up and configuring the system is made easy as well, saving enormous installation costs and long term cost of ownership on a digital network. The physical connecting point is irrelevant: audio signals can be made available anywhere and everywhere. Patching and routing now become logical functions configured in software, not via physical wired links.

Summary of Dante Benefits

• Plug-and-play technology – automatic discovery and simple signal routing
• Reduced Cost & Complexity- No special skills required to set up audio networking
  • Sample accurate playback synchronization
• Add/remove/rearrange components at will
  • Deterministic latency throughout the network
• Support mixed bit depths and mixed sample rates over one network
• Scalable, flexible network topology supporting a large number of senders and receivers
  • Supports 1Gbps networks
  • Supports a single integrated network for audio, video, control, monitoring
• Uses inexpensive, off-the-shelf computer networking equipment

Encryption

The encryption system in Lectrosonics Digital modes D2, DCHX, and HDM may be configured in four different ways, determined by a parameter known as the Key Type. The four key types range from least secure but most convenient, to most secure but least convenient. Below are descriptions of the four Key Types and how they work.

• Universal: This is the default key type, the simplest to use, and the least secure. While encryption is technically being performed and a scanner or simple demodulator would not reveal the signal content, communications are not truly secure. This is because all Lectrosonics products employing the Universal key type use this same “universal” encryption key. With this key type selected, keys do not need to be created or exchanged, and wireless devices can be used without attention to the encryption feature.
• Shared: This is the easiest encryption mode to use while employing a uniquely generated key. This key type offers excellent security and considerable flexibility. Once a key has been created, it can be shared an unlimited number of times with any compatible device which, in turn, can also share the key. This is especially useful when multiple receivers may need to pick up various transmitters.

- Standard: The Standard key type offers enhanced security, at the cost of some complexity. Standard keys are “instance controlled”, which allows the hardware to protect against “differential attacks”. A Standard key can only be sent by the device that created it, and only up to 256 times. Unlike with Shared keys, devices receiving a Standard key cannot pass it on.

- Volatile: The Volatile key type is the most secure, and also the least convenient to use. Volatile keys behave identically to Standard keys, except that they are never stored. Equipment which is turned off while using a Volatile key will come back on with no key. If a key-generating device is left on, the key can be re-shared with units in the system that have lost their keys. Once all equipment having used a given Volatile key is powered off, that key is effectively destroyed. This may be required in some highly secure installations.

Installing One DSQD into a Single Rack

The process to install the DSQD is the same as for the M2T transmitter through Step 7. The DSQD looks similar to the M2T in the frontal view. Follow the steps for the M2T, then resume at Step 8:

1. Use the Hex Wrench to remove the two (2) in-board Cap Screws from the rear of the DSQD. Put them aside and save for later use or spares; you will not need them for this installation. Install the Support Bracket (Part #27077) to the rear panel of the DSQD, using the two (2) long mounting screws, threaded with Spacer Tubes, and firmly tighten with the Hex Wrench. See rear view image and call-out photo above. The kit is designed to handle the M2T and the DSQD with a shorter chassis, so the spacers are included.

2. Insert two (2) Cap Screws (Part #28885) through the Rack Handle (Part #27082) holes and install the Rack Handle onto the right side Front Fill Panel (Part #27081) through the holes in the panel, and into the nuts on the Support Bracket (Part #27076). Firmly tighten the Cap Screws using the long leg of the Hex Wrench.

3. Unless also installing a Front Mounted Antenna, insert the Hole Plug (Part #35959) into the open antenna hole in the Front Fill Panel (Part #27081) by aligning the flat sides of the plug with those of the bracket hole and pushing into place until flush.

The DSQD with Front Fill Panel is now ready for installation into a rack.

NOTE: As with the M2T, if the supplied rubber foot/feet are installed on under side of the DSQD, it will not fit in a single rack space.

Mounting M2T To DSQD

When mounting two M2Ts or two DSQDs together, the units lie flush together as shown. This is not the case with an M2T and a DSQD, as the DSQD housing is shorter and the spacer tubes are needed.

Two DSQD units

When attaching an M2T to a DSQD unit, the preferred configuration (when viewing from the back side) is to have the DSQD to the left and the M2T to the right. If the units are mounted the opposite way, the mounting plate will partially block the Dante ^® ports on the DSQD, making it difficult to remove the cables. Having the DSQD on the left as shown below eliminates this inconvenience.

Crreate, Edit, Store Flexlists in Wireless Designer

Starting with Wireless Designer v2.1.0 for Mac or PC, users now have the ability to create, load, save and send Flexlists to receivers via an M2T-type device. Flexlists now include an optional compatibility mode setting, allowing Flexlist entires for receivers operating in different compatibility modes.

NOTE: These functional enhancements are available with M2T firmware update M2T v4.0.03 (SUPER)/v6.00 (FPGA, H/W v0 & v1)/v7.00 (FPGA, H/W v2 & v3) and later.

Firmware Update Instructions

Firmware updates are made with a file downloaded from the web site and the M2T connected via USB.

The USB port on the transmitter requires a micro-B male plug on the connecting cable. The other end of the cable would normally be a USB A-type or C-type male connector to fit the most common type of USB jack used on computers.

Refer to Help in Wireless Designer software for the procedure.

Service and Repair

If your system malfunctions, you should attempt to correct or isolate the trouble before concluding that the equipment needs repair. Make sure you have followed the setup procedure and operating instructions. Check the interconnecting cables and then go through the Troubleshooting section in this manual.

We strongly recommend that you do not try to repair the equipment yourself and do not have the local repair shop attempt anything other than the simplest repair. If the repair is more complicated than a broken wire or loose connection, send the unit to the factory for repair and service. Don't attempt to adjust any controls inside the units. Once set at the factory, the various controls and trimmers do not drift with age or vibration and never require readjustment. There are no adjustments inside that will make a malfunctioning unit start working.

LECTROSONICS' Service Department is equipped and staffed to quickly repair your equipment. In warranty repairs are made at no charge in accordance with the terms of the warranty. Out-of-warranty repairs are charged at a modest flat rate plus parts and shipping. Since it takes almost as much time and effort to determine what is wrong as it does to make the repair, there is a charge for an exact quotation. We will be happy to quote approximate charges by phone for out-of-warranty repairs.

Returning Units for Repair

For timely service, please follow the steps below:

A. DO NOT return equipment to the factory for repair without first contacting us by email or by phone. We need to know the nature of the problem, the model number and the serial number of the equipment. We also need a phone number where you can be reached 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. (U.S. Mountain Standard Time).
B. After receiving your request, we will issue you a return authorization number (R.A.). This number will help speed your repair through our receiving and repair departments. The return authorization number must be clearly shown on the outside of the shipping container.
C. Pack the equipment carefully and ship to us, shipping costs prepaid. If necessary, we can provide you with the proper packing materials. UPS is usually the best way to ship the units. Heavy units should be "double-boxed" for safe transport.
D. We also strongly recommend that you insure the equipment, since we cannot be responsible for loss of or damage to equipment that you ship. Of course, we insure the equipment when we ship it back to you.
