ASI Audio 3DME G2 Active Ambient IEM System

About: ASI Audio 3DME G2 Active Ambient IEM System

New Complete 3DME BT System with Enhanced Features & Longer Battery Life. 

Unlike any other In Ear Monitor, the ASI 3DME Gen 2 continues its unique position as the only IEM with built in, active ambient microphones with an App to customize the mix. Gen 2 adds a monitor bypassing capability, whereby limiter and EQ functions can still be controlled from Front of House or a Monitor position when activated. 

Also added is a lower limiter threshold, start up squeal suppressor (useful if the 3DME is turned on prior to inserting the ear pieces), an extended battery life to full eight hours on a single charge and an improved CROS function for Musicians with hearing limits in one ear.

Features:

• Active Ambient technology provides controlled 3D ambience with full earphone isolation.
• Embedded binaural microphones capture full frequency range, full dynamic range natural ambience with accurate 3D directionality.
• Full-range drivers provide reference-quality sound without crossover distortions.
• Compact bodypack processing unit combines a monitor mix with the ambient sound.
• Patented active signal processing enables distortion-free ambience capture up to 135 dB-SPL.
• Monitor Out jack provides for monitoring of the complete reproduced sound, including by the dB Check (COMING SOON). 
• Intuitive smartphone app sets multiple stored body pack processing options.
• Selectable ambience level, with left, right adjusted together or separately.
• Selectable limiting of maximum average reproduced levels, with left, right thresholds adjusted together or separately, and with the limiting action linked between channels or independent.
• Multiband frequency equalization of the reproduced sound, with left, right adjusted together or separately.
• NEW Selectable bypassing of all Monitor signal processing, for unimpeded outboard control.
• NEW Selectable CROS connection for unilateral hearing loss compensation.
• NEW App-activated Seal Test tones enable confirmation of earphone fit and sealing.
• Body pack provides ambient level up/down buttons, programmed either for step-wise action or pre-selected levels, for quick in-use adjustment of ambience level.
• Body pack has a rechargeable Li-Ion battery and Bluetooth interface.
• Body pack provides LED indication of battery state-of-charge, charging status, and USB power.

What's New?

NEW Monitor Processing Bypass Option

The Monitor input signal now bypasses both the EQ and the limiter when enabled. A-list Front of House Engineers asked, and we listened. Now you can control the in-ear monitor audio exclusive of the 3DME App control.

NEW Options to Switch Between Dual and Quad In-Ear Monitor Earpiece Types

Now users can switch from Dual (3DME Gen 2 Universal and 3DME Custom Tour) to Quad (3DME Custom Tour)

NEW and Improved CROS Function

CROS connection will remove sound entirely from the disfavored ear, instead of just taking the microphone signal across and leaving the disfavored ear with its regular signal; important for those with a problem like Meniere’s Disease, where sound is distorted and uncomfortable in one ear, not just weak.

NEW Start-Up Squeal Suppressor Protects from Feedback

On/Off switch on options page and default set to Off. This is to give the option for anyone who experiences minor feedback if they have the body pack turned on before inserting the earpieces into their ears. Very rarely, a quiet, unharmful feedback squeal can be heard if the end user has their finger covering the ambient microphone when inserting the earpiece.

NEW Limiter Threshold Expansion, Now Starts at 76 dB-SPL - 104 dB-SPL

A-list Monitor Engineers and FOH engineers asked for an expanded Limiter Threshold – once again, we listened. Now the Lowest Limiter Threshold setting starts at 76 dB-SPL, which may be useful for some people with especially sensitive hearing or for related uses.
