The TM2 combines the functionality normally associated with bulky IEM testing equipment into a compact package that’s easy to carry and use. Specifically, IEM devices can often become damaged over time without users knowing, while monitor engineers can also face complaints about IEM functionality without a way to confirm an equipment problem. The TM2 is designed to help in addressing these issues.
By pairing the TM2 with test and measurement software, a transfer function of an in-ear monitor can be generated and compared to previous measurements of the same device. Doing so will highlight any frequency or phase changes due to device damage or degradation over time. Comparing the performance of the left and right earpieces can also aid in troubleshooting.
The unit require 24 – 48 V phantom power and uses a pre-polarized microphone capsule. Connection is done through and XLR connector.
With its included adaptors, the TM2 can reportedly fit most sizes of in-ear monitor. It can also be connected to an acoustic calibrator for added measurement precision (bottom image shows adaptors in the case that also contains the coupler). A calibration file is included.
The TM2's US MSRP is €1299; it is expected to ship at the end of the month.
