Designed for measuring in-ear monitors often used on stage, the Audix TM2 Earphone Couplers for In-Ear Monitorsis an accoustic coupler intended for conducting tests on any pair of IEMs. Think of the TM2 as a measurement microphone system, but instead of a pair of speakers, you're measuring the frequency response and other performance specs of in-ear monitoring systems to make sure they're ship-shape for use on stage.

The TM2 utilizes technology previously found in laboratory testing equipment into a package that is agnostic when it comes to the brand of IEM in question. Thus, the system is an all purpose, simple, and effective way to test the performance specifications of a pair of in-ear monitors.

With a complete adapter set, any kind of in-ear monitor can be tested. Simply wedge an IEM into the earphone coupler, connect the coupler to an audio interface over the XLR output, and make the other necessary connections for routing test tones (usually a feedback loop of some kind). Then, you engage your favorite software for measuring equipment (Rational Accoustic's SMAART and Studio Six Digital's Audio Tools are two popular programs that will work with the TM2SP). With all the connections made, the TM2 will then be able to test an in-ear monitor, so that your artists will know their in-ear monitors are performing to the best of their ability. The TM2 runs on your interface's phantom power supply. In addition to a complete set of adapters, an individualized calibration file is included, as well as a carrying case.

Q: 3. Is this flash bracket able to be used on the Jobu Jr. gimbal head?

A: Yes, but note that the flash bracket doesn't actually attach to the gimbal head. It attaches to the top of the quick release plate of your lens. It will work with any Jobu replacement foot such as the one available for canon supertelephotos or any double dovetail quick release place. However, I found it doesn't fit Kirk replacement foot well for canon lenses so I don't recommend pairing it with any replacement foots from Kirk.

Q: 4. Does this work with the SE846's?

A: Yes, it does perfectly, also is a good color replacement for the default one.

Q: 5. Will this connect to my individual mic or does it just connect to the system via Wi-Fi?

A: The Shure SE215-CL-Left Side Earphone Kit with IFB Cable is designed to make a hardwired connection to a 3.5mm (1/8") audio output source in the same manner as most other sets of hardwired headphones would connect to a headphone output connection on a device. This unit is not designed to connect to a microphone or connect wirelessly.

Q: 6. I often use the G3 Receiver for headphone monitoring and the transmitter/Mic pack to communicate 1 way. Why couldn't I do that with this as the earpiece? How different is the tip wiring?

A: This is a headset only: Connector 1/8" (3.5mm) Mono Plug

Q: 7. Can I use this with a laptop headphones jack?

A: Yes, the Voice Technologies VT610TC125 Earphone with Coiled Tube could be used with a 3.5mm headphone jack output on a device such as a laptop. Because the connection on the VT610TC125 is Mono/TS and laptop headphone outputs are usually Stereo/TRS, the earphone may only output one side of the signal, or may sum the headphone output to mono.
