Chemistry's grand challenges
28 August 2013 Feature
What are the big problems for the next generation of chemists to work on? Mark Peplow takes up the gauntlet
Synthesising maitotoxin is one of the hardest chemistry challenges out there © ACS
Maitotoxin's physiological effects have been known for decades. It can cause ciguatera, a common form of seafood poisoning that can result from eating Pacific Ocean coral reef fish. Scientists isolated the compound from the gut of the striated surgeonfish – maito in Tahitian, hence the molecule's name – but later found that it is not the fish producing the neurotoxin but the plankton species Gambierdiscus toxicus, that surgeonfish feed on. However, maitotoxin's chemical structure remained elusive until, in 1993, Japanese researchers isolated minute amounts of the mystery molecule from cultured G. toxicus and fully characterised it by two- and three-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance.1
In 1996, Nicolaou and his group, buoyed by their success with similar marine natural products such as brevetoxin, set their sights on maitotoxin. Its complexity and particularly its immense size presented an unprecedented total synthesis challenge. 'Our record of success in the field of ladder-like marine neurotoxins – a class of natural products of which maitotoxin is a member – encouraged us to dare the seemingly impossible task of its total synthesis,' says Nicolaou.

The group tackled the synthesis of the fragment in question, disproving Spencer's stereochemical assignment.3 Supported by the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) marine neurotoxin grant, Nicolaou's team then completed three more large fragments (see above: ABCDEFG, GHIJKLMNO and C'D'E'F') between 2007 and 2011.
Throughout their synthetic journey, Nicolaou's team developed several new strategies for constructing maitotoxin's numerous cyclic ethers. Steven Ley from the University of Cambridge, UK, who has made his own share of large and complex natural products, highlights the opportunity to discover new reagents and technologies. '[Making complex natural products] forces the chemist to discover efficient and robust synthesis procedures,' he says. 'It is not just about making a big molecule it is what you learn on the journey.'
Now, Nicolaou and his group have published the formation of maitotoxin's fourth and final fragment, the 11-ring-containing QRSTUVWXYZA' domain.4 With all of the major fragments completed, the team is only two side-chains and two rings (P and B') away from the complete molecule. 'All we now really need to do is put it all together,' says Nicolaou.
However, the fragments may remain scattered as funding difficulties have halted the team's work. 'Sadly, despite our progress and the chemical and biological significance of this rare molecule, our funding from the NIH on this project was discontinued in 2012,' Nicolaou says. 'While we have not given up hope, the change in funding practices in recent years … hinders progress severely along this path of basic research.'
Nicolaou condemns the funding agencies' short-sightedness, since maitotoxin's biological effects might lead to new drugs for treating Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. 'The fragments don't seem to have the toxicity the whole molecule has, which is very intriguing,' he points out.
He adds that with sufficient funds and a few talented students or postdocs the project could be completed within two to three years. 'But I don't want to make promises,' he says. 'Projects like this are not done until they're done.'
Apart from opportunities for method development and biological investigations, Nicolaou considers the maitotoxin project an excellent training opportunity for young chemists. 'It taught me a lot about practical organic chemistry and planning synthesis,' agrees Denton. In 2008 Denton started up his own lab as an organic chemistry lecturer and researcher at the University of Nottingham, UK. 'I don't think I could've finished my first independent synthesis project if I hadn't had the experience of working on maitotoxin,' he says. 'The amount of different reactions that you experience leads you to be a very experienced chemist on the bench.' Ley adds: 'The people who have trained in this discipline of complex molecule synthesis serve society. They make the next generation of functional products and it is they who make the world go round and contribute so much to our healthcare and national economy.'
Nicolaou is grateful for his team's contributions working on this 'unique challenge'. '20 very capable students and postdocs worked on the maitotoxin project, each of them for more or less than a year,' he says. 'I am proud of them for their courage and determination to travel with me where many would not dare venture.'

...well actually a marketing guy. In PR you candefinitely have to much of a good thing. When a companysends out gobs and gobs of press releases to newsorganizations they will eventually start being overlooked.Think of the boy who cried wolf. Sure BWEBcould send out a release every stinking time they got anew client, hired a new employee, etc. The newsorganizations might acknowledge these changes at first. Buteventually they'd get tired of it and wouldn't pay much heedto BWEB releases. Then down the line when the REALLYBIG NEWS hit and BWEB wanted some attention, theymight not get it.I like their current strategy.Be patient.
continued sequential revenue growth and movementinto the black. And that is exactly what's happeningquarter after quarter.BTW, looks like some shortsare staring their usual tricks on this board. Fornewbies to this game, make sure you due research ontactics used by these clowns.BWEB long.

Nice painterly look, and really nice angled shots. I had to watch it a few times to see everything! (like the guy in the wind) Where did his ropes go? LOL great stuff!
YAY! Someone noticed his ropes dissapear. If you watch later episodes, and read into symbolism a little, that bit will make sense. IT IS INTENIONAL!
Great Job!
Really great job! Can't wait till episode 2! Atleast we'll have the madness submission to hold us over!
Yah. After halloween and this Madness, there's going to be ALOT of focus spent on getting Spider out there.
The backgrounds were awesome during the music and the gun sequence. The animation is really cool too. You have some skills man.
Yes it was very strange and did not make sense. I didn't see Picos Face on a mans chest... Maybe this is not he flash Tom was talking about.
Hope your new tablet arrives in time to save your life... Or better yet I hope you die and then get regenerated by it rubbing up against your body. Some real w3ird shit man!!! YEAH!

PS did you know it's Bill Murray week?
I did know it was Bill Murray week, and I have no idea what Tom is talking about with that Pico face on a man's chest.
Whoa weird.
Kinda strange and didn't make much sense but i loved the style of animation you used,it was pretty enjoyable.
Hah, thanks.
it was really weird
it has to be one of the weirdest productions I have ever seen. nice work on the frame by frame tho.
I wouldnt replay it to be honest, because I did not get iot the firts time..... it was pretty akward for me
If it was awkward, then I've done what I intended to do.

Do you think the 5'10" Round nose fish will hold up in surf from head high to overhead because i don't have the 6'4" anymore. It was my friends.
(The 5'10" Round Nose Fish was based off of the Lost Round Nose Fish)

yeah i have a 5'10 lost round nose fish quad and its my baby im like 5'4 145 and the thing rides so nice dude and i ride it more than any of my other boards like my flyer and such

i use my 5'10 quad fish in anything from knee to pretty much head high.....once it starts getting bigger than overhead i'll talke out my 6'3 performance board(al chemist) ....but the fish is great for a summer surfer if thats what you are

ill second that.

I surf every season of the year lol!

i'd get a thruster instead of a quad.... or maybe have someone put another fin plug in it so you can switch from quad to thruster... just my .02
'; pd[11501] = '
It is actually a 5 fin setup but im planning on using it for a quad but i can switch to a thruster. Would i be better off with a thruster in the bigger surf?
'; pd[11516] = '
Jul 6, 2008, 10:03 PM
and i'd definatly go smaller.... i know the east coast is pretty mushy, but 5'10" is HUGE... i'd go 5'7" (actually, ...Lost makes a 5'7" 5-fin )

Jul 6, 2008, 07:54 PM
dude your deffiently tallking about the same exact round nose fish that i have you could switch between quad and thruster... i got it at brave new world in point im pretty sure... the 5'10 rides nice and it can handle head high but if your looking to surf head i wouldnt get it but if your surfing jersey all the time then getit because the waves are rarely head-overhead besides winter and im sure you have other boards to ride on those days.. but i recromend it but i would go smaller if you could
'; pd[11525] = '
Jul 6, 2008, 11:41 PM
i have a 5'10 quad. i wasnt too happy with how my old lost rnf held up. so lightly glassed. i would go with more of a retro style, heavy glassing larger swallow and such. i ride mine in head to overhead waves no problem. sometimes i need to jazz up the fins to a size larger tho when it gets big. really a great investment because you can ride it in anything
'; pd[11529] = '
I surf a fish year round in top to bottom waves and slow rolling surf and I love it. They do have some limitations in bigger hollow waves but man what a glide. I am 6'1" 205lbs and ride a 6'0". I could go smaller.I think a 5'10 sounds too big for someone of your size. I have even heard people say mine isnt a real fish because it is 6' long I would go with a twin keel, really loose in turns but flies down the line with some pumping. Twin keels have more bite than twin fins with the smaller fins like they were in the early 80's. I have no trouble holding in the pocket or going verticle on the right wave. Visit this site, I will never buy another fish other than one shaped by this man http://zippifish.wordpress.com/zippifish-surfboards/ . Just look at my moniker .

if you dont have another board i wouldnt suggest the quad because its only truley responsive in weaker waves. And if you get the quad and its head high plus barrels your gonna regret only having a quad. but if you have another board such as a 6 3' i say go for it i just got a 5 10' stretch quad and its amazing. there just not the type of board you would wana have if its your only one. than again this is my opinion

North Carolina State Ousts No. 3 Georgetown in NCAA Basketball
No. 11 North Carolina State University defeated the third-seeded Georgetown University in the first of today's eight third-round games in college basketball's national men's tournament.
Also today, Lehigh University and Norfolk State University, the 15th-seeded schools that defeated higher-ranked opponents in the previous round, will try to advance to the regional semifinals of the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament.
Lehigh, which beat Duke, faces No. 10 Xavier in Greensboro, North Carolina, and Norfolk State, winner over Missouri, takes on seventh-seeded Florida in Omaha, Nebraska.
"We messed up some brackets," said Norfolk senior Kyle O'Quinn. "We even messed up my bracket."
In other games, No. 1 Michigan State plays ninth-seeded Saint Louis in Columbus, Ohio; No. 6 Cincinnati meets third-seeded Florida State and No. 12 South Florida takes on No. 13 Ohio are in Nashville. Top-seeded North Carolina and No. 8 Creighton meet in Greensboro and second-seeded Kansas and No. 10 Purdue play in Omaha.
Georgetown led until two minutes, 57 seconds before the end of the first half at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, when the Wolfpack went ahead for good on a C.J. Williams 3-pointer.
North Carolina State extended its three-point halftime advantage into a 45-36 lead with 13 minutes remaining in the game.
Hollis Thompson scored a 3-pointer, his 17th point of the half, for the Hoyas to leave them four points behind with one minute to play.
It was 62-61 to North Carolina State 23 seconds later as Henry Sims scored with a layup and added two points from the free-throw line for Georgetown.

It was one thing to watch this young teenager who was 13-years old at the time, grow up and become a popular television star and music talent that would sell out many concert venues, has had her music on top of the Billboard charts and now has two Disney films under her belt.
The first film from Disney focused on a 3D version of her concert and television show personality but this time around, "Hannah Montana: The Movie" takes to the big screen and takes a more serious look at Miley Cyrus's character as her pop star identity has now affected her family and he friendship and has come to the point that the lifestyle of a popstar has gotten to her head.
The film is directed by Peter Chelsom ("Shall We Dance", "Serendipity" and "Town & Country"), a screenplay by Daniel Berendsen ("Sabrina, the Teenage Witch", "The Cheetah Girls: One World") , composer John Debney ("The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor", "Spider-Man 3" and "Sin City") and cinematographer David Hennings ("Strange Wilderness", "Blue Crush" and "Ice Princess").
For those not familiar with the television series, former music artist Robby Ray Stewart (Billy Ray Cyrus) has moved his family (which include Miley, played by Miley Cyrus, and her older brother Jackson, played by Jason Earles) from Tennessee to Malibu in order to manage his daughter Miley's music career. But in order to keep sanity at their home and keep their family together, he and Miley has kept secret identities and Miley dons a blonde wig and goes by the name Hannah Montana.Read more ›
Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) is a teenager with a big secret. She is living in two contrasting worlds. One where she is a normal high-schooler who deals with boys and catty girls. The other where she is the famous pop singer Hannah Montana. When she ruins her best friend Lily's (Emily Osment) sweet sixteen and begins to spend more time with her publicist (Vanessa Williams) than her own family, her father Robby Stewart (Billy Ray Cyrus) gives Miley a dose of reality. He whisks her back to Tennessee and presents her with an ultimatum. She must spend two weeks in her home state and decide whether or not she wants to continue to be Hannah Montana.
This movie is for children and young adults. If you're an adult you have to come in very open. These people aren't the best actors and they're not going to win an Oscar for their performances. But the movie is light-hearted and optimistic. It's a movie about growing up and deciding what's best not only for the people in your life but yourself also.
I believe that's why the younger audiences flock to this movie. Not only because it's Hannah Montana but because they don't strong opinions about what good acting or writing is.
Miley Cyrus has improved her acting skills. They're not top notch but they're better than they were when she first got started at Disney. Emily Osment is an enjoyment to watch as always. She's very real when she acts and is better than Cyrus.Read more ›
The Blu-ray transfer is top shelf material, with a surprisingly good director's commentary track. There is also a fun featurette with Jason Earles and more music videos than you can shake a stick at.
p.s. It's been awesome writing 600 reviews, and can't wait for 600 more!

Over the years, the lines between military soldiers and police have become more and more blurred. The Department of Homeland Security has provided local law enforcement agencies across the country with military-grade weaponry such as armor, tanks and rockets, and now many are questioning whether or not militarizing local police department is necessary or excessive. The author of Rise of the Warrior Cop, Radley Balko, joins us with more on how the cop has transitioned from serving and protecting to a warrior.

Poultney woman charged with child abuseMay 01,2013Poultney woman charged with child abuse
A Poultney mother has been charged with causing serious injuries to her 11-month-old daughter.
Sandra L. Eastman, 30, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court Monday to a misdemeanor charge of cruelty to a child. She was released on conditions that included she stay away from her daughter who is in the custody of the state Department for Children and Families.
Rutland Police Detective Raymond LaMoria wrote in an affidavit that police began investigating Eastman after she took her baby to the emergency room at Rutland Regional Medical Center in February.
An x-ray at the hospital showed that the baby had a recently fractured bone in one leg and an older break in the other.
When asked about the injuries, Eastman allegedly told police she accidentally dropped her child while placing her in a crib. She also told police that she had grabbed the babys leg to pull her back from the top of a staircase days before her trip to the hospital.
But doctors in Rutland along with a consultation from a Fletcher Allen Health Care doctor who specializes in pediatric abuse and neglect told police that the babys injuries didnt match either Eastmans timeline of events or the nature of the wounds.
In regard to the more recent fracture, the doctors concluded This fracture would require a significant amount of force. This is not a simple toddler fracture, which can occur from relatively minimal force.
If convicted, Eastman would face a maximum of two years in jail.MORE IN This Just InPARIS You cant put a guard in every church and patrol every beach.

Skip to comments.Gas prices' jump attests to upbeat economy
Posted on 03/22/2012 5:23:59 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer
The recent jump in gasoline prices stems partly from an encouraging sign: The economy is improving.
With a more solid footing, the economy should be able to withstand the recent increase in gas prices better than it did during a similar surge last year, said Kathy Bostjancic, director for macroeconomic analysis at the Conference Board.
"It's a head wind for the consumer, but it doesn't derail the recovery. It can be taken in stride, especially if the underlying fundamentals of the economy are improving, which they are," she said.
"The dominant factor is really the improvement of the labor market," she said, "and if that continues, that trumps all the potential head winds for the consumer."
Two recent national polls showed Obama's job approval down sharply despite the improving economy, in part because of concerns over higher energy costs.
Obama has been fighting back. Over the weekend, he reiterated his call for an end to $4 billion in tax breaks for the oil and gas industry.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimes.com ...
Gas prices are holding me back form doing many things and I don't buy 10,000 gallons at a whack.
Say what!! Just peg my BS meter all the way into the red.
That's what they said in 2008, isn't it?
Obama Times......
/1984 newspeak
Even Joseph Goebbels would have blushed to write a piece like this.
Yes! Because raising taxes always causes prices to drop. This is really pathetic.
"You dont just go become a writer or photographer or 'whatever' unless you want to live in a van down the river while pursuing your 'whatever' dreams"
Bull sh...aww, I don't even have the energy. I'll agree it's due to the recovery if they agree that gas is subject to the laws of supply and demand. I hate to break it to them, but that's necessary to make this particular point, thus forestalling future bashing off greedy, Blood For Oil-soaked Fat Cat 1%ers. Which they'll immediately do because, hey, what's consistency?
Baghdad Bob would be proud of our "journalists"!
It's amazing. This lady talks about high gas prices being a headwind against the consumer. Then the article mentions obama wanting to get rid of the tax breaks. Do away with the tax breaks and watch the price of gas go even higher.
The only reason for all of this is obama and those who pull his strings want to destroy this nation.
"Obama has been fighting back. Over the weekend, he reiterated his call for an end to $4 billion in tax breaks for the oil and gas industry."
What a genius. Raise the cost of doing business: that'll lower prices! It is opposite year, right?
Heck, to get a really speedy economic recovery we need $15.00 gas!!
FEDEX is saying that their volume is down. This is such an evil piece of propaganda.
Gas and food prices are ruining people's lives right now.
Shove it Obama.
And just a few years ago $3.00 gal gas was an evil plot between President Bush and "big Oil."
Gas at $4.00 gal is...
encouraging sign
solid footing
a head wind for the consumer
doesn't derail the recovery
taken in stride
fundamentals of the economy are improving
head winds for the consumer (she said it twice, not me)
despite the improving economy
The mass delusion is beyond scary.
What will the Worshipers of The One do if their demigod is looking a a butt-kicking in November?
These people are delusional..
These people are delusional..
By Jim Puzzanghera
Misspelling it's Jim PUTZ ?
This con man needs some comments after that tall tale for Obama.
None so far
Yes, the economy of Red China, where they have unleashed the profit motive on their population and who wants now to own cars, is roaring ahead, and driving up the price of gas.
Gee thats great!
I can hardly wait till employment is back to normal, Gas will be $12 ga! /s
Journolistas have gotten the talking point du jor from the White Hut.
Just got back from a trip and every flight was totally full and all the airports were crowded. So either the economy is better than I thought or gas prices are good for the airlines.
Well I paid $4.20 today. Can you tell how encouraged I am? Worthless pos.
There's a FedEx hub on the highway my brother drives everyday (I used to until last year). It's easy to see when there's a tick-up in buying from the lack of trailers camped out there. 5 years ago you could practically count how many were there & half were other company's trailers that were bummin' space. It's 90%plus full almost constantly - and they're all FedEx.
Think how GREAT the economy is going to be when gas is $7.00 a gallon.
Here's the thing...when you print a couple trillion dollars in a 14 trillion dollar economy, well, that's about fifteen percent more dollars chasing goods. This accounts for the increase in fuel and food — which are not part of the inflation calculation. The only thing holding down the official inflation rate is the fact that there are no dollars after food and fuel to spend on the other stuff. Obama can smile, but everyone knows why retailers cannot recoup increased costs — those of us who are working are spending all our money on gas and food.
I've see that, too...but this is the time of Spring breaks...and many airlines have cut back on the number of flights. I know...I have to go to Phoenix next week (hate that airport) and every flight on the way back in stuffed to the gills. Has been for years.
Exorbitant gas prices help the economy.
Paying more unemployment for longer periods helps the economy.
Severe recession means you get to stay at home and enjoy more time with your family.
Bankrupting the public treasury is the path to sound fiscal policy.
Scarce, high cost and unreliable electricity is our future.
It must be a delight to be a liberal Democrat.
Kind of scary! Some sheeple out there will actually believe this boot scrapings. Also, this article definitely highlights the detrimental effects of continued drug use on the author's intellectual abilities.
"So either the economy is better than I thought or gas prices are good for the airlines."
I'd go with C: The number of flights has been reduced.
I say that because I took someone to Kennedy Airport and they were put up overnight because the airline hadn't sold enough tickets for their flight to Europe. They were on a different flight the next day.
Inflation you say?
Incredible trash idiotic "journalism". Why don't they just tout chopping off your leg makes you healthier and makes you more efficient at walking...
I would feel getter if the oil companies got the money in stead of the stock manipulators.

Spoiler: Another update on Royal Rumble mystery participates
Reported by Adam Martin of Wrestleview.com
As has been reported on since yesterday, both Booker T and Kevin Nash are in Boston and are scheduled for the Royal Rumble PPV tonight. Booker T's role going forward hasn't been determined yet, but one thing discussed was using him more as a manager as opposed to being a full-time wrestler. Nash is only scheduled for the Rumble at this point, but talk has started about doing more business with him in a non-wrestling capacity.

British artist Damien Hirst famously said, "Art survives through its effect on others." As a leader in the contemporary art world, he, like his peers, considers making art a way to convey ideas about culture, human relationships, the environment, and politics.
The artworks included in Audacious: Contemporary Artists Speak Out have the potential to invite or even incite conversation about the world around us. The outlandish presentation of ideas using simplified or crude depictions, everyday materials, or riffs on cultural conventions helps infuse contemporary art with provocative, sometimes challenging, content.
This installation will feature the Denver Art Museum's collection of contemporary art and signature loans from local collectors. Audacious highlights, among others, works by Franz Ackermann, Brian Alfred, Christo, Tracey Emin, John Fudge, Philip Guston, Damien Hirst, Martin Maloney, Ana Mendieta, and Shirin Neshat.

XM and Sirius have already talked a bit about some of their post-merger pricing schemes, but it looks like that's not all they have in store, with Reuters now getting word of some additional changes coming once the deal is done. Specifically, the companies are now saying that they'll be offering a subscription package "priced 46 percent below current levels," along with an option for customers to buy packages of their favorite channels. While exact pricing is still unclear, the "a la carte" programming would apparently be available "within one year following the merger" — whenever that actually happens.

Zachary Greatting, CHEF AND Sommelier
Zachary Greatting started Brix Catering & Events in 2012 as a passion project, to bring food and wine pairing to people's homes.

One wine dinner led to another, and referrals grew the business from a hobby to the full service catering and events company that Brix is today.

Something Fierce: Rock In The Right Place
Don't Be So Cruel
The first line of "Empty Screens" may be "We lost control," but Something Fierce knows exactly what it's doing.Courtesy of the artist
Tuesday's Pick
Song: "Empty Screens"
Artist: Something Fierce
CD: Don't Be So Cruel
Genre: Rock
A tight song from start to finish, Something Fierce's "Empty Screens" takes only a few seconds to blast off, and doesn't lessen its intensity until the last fading note. The result is a perfect combination of punk chants and garage-rock energy, with no need for keyboards to prop up the guitar, bass, crashing cymbals and bombarded snares.
Something Fierce gets a lot of love in its hometown of Houston, where it's known for its spirited club performances, but the group's recordings don't disappoint, either. The guitar solos vary up each time — they're gnarly but not sloppy, and aren't burdened with needless flourishes — while the lead vocals are captivating, the chorus blends perfectly into the refrain, and everything else fits in its right place. The first line of "Empty Screens" may be "We lost control," but this is a band that knows exactly what it's doing, and has a whole lot of fun in the process.

Comments about Audio-Technica M2 Wireless In-Ear Monitor System:
I'm the soundman for a classic rock band that plays 3-4 times a month. We all work day jobs and only have 45 minutes to an hour for setup and sound check at various local clubs and sports bars. The stages are way too small and we have to be careful not to disturb the patrons who are eating and watching sporting events before we start our shows. Conventional monitors were out of the question because of the size, setup/ equalization time and poor acoustical conditions so in-ear monitors were the best solution. We use 3 M2 systems that have worked flawlessly for almost 2 years now. The bass player even dropped one of the recievers hard and bent the concentric pot but I was able to easily take it apart and bend it back with no problems.
The mix mode allowed me to send 1 aux mix from the board and a direct out from each singers channel to the transmitter that way they could turn up the vocal at their recievers and leave me alone to concentrate on the main mix. Having a low stage volume is critical to getting a great main mix when you play in small or poor acoustical venues and the M2's allow for not only a better monitor mix but a much cleaner main mix for the audience to enjoy.
I really miss the M2 in-ear monitors when I mix other bands and have to use their sound system with traditional floor monitors.
If you want an upgrade to your sound system and a superior monitor system to floor monitors run out to your LOCAL Audio Technica Dealer and get the M2 in-ear system!

Comments about Audio-Technica M2 Wireless In-Ear Monitor System:
I've had my M2s for over a year now, and they are rock solid. I can't imagine being on stage without them. Was very easy to adjust all the settings to get an optimal mix and level between vocals and instruments balanced between left and right ears.The health of my voice and ears now owes much to A-T.
I use them 2-3 times per week, and am very impressed with the comfort and feel of the buds. I thought I would have to shell out for custom buds, but after each time I use them, it becomes less and less a desire. They sound great and the noise cancelling is very good. I've added an ambiance mic when solo, which really makes a difference interacting with a crowd I can hear.
Once you experience the M2, I doubt you will ever wedge again. Just walk out of that sweet spot of a floor monitor and you'll understand that will never happen with the M2.
Comments about Audio-Technica M2 Wireless In-Ear Monitor System:
Since going to a quite stage at our church I needed the best in-ear monitoring possible and went with custom molded monitors by Westone. Therefore, I needed a quality wireless system to complete my setup. I found everything I needed and more in the Audio Technica M2 system. I couldn't be more pleased with the value I received for the money I invested. I literally took it out of the box, plugged it in, installed batteries, turned it on and it worked! I guess I could have spent a lot more money, but I'm not real sure as to what I would have accomplished other than having less monney in my pocket.
Thanks AT,

Q:I just purchased an M2 wireless in ear system. I am a drummer/vocalist and we are just using a Mackie powered head for our PA. Can I just run my vocal mic directly into the input of the transmitter and run a cable from the output into my vocal channel on the Mackie?
1 answer
A:You cannot. The inputs on the M2 Transmitter need a Line level signal to drive the Transmitter to a usable output level. The output level of a microphone is at Microphone level which is about 50 dB lower. You would have to run your mic through a microphone preamplifier (or Mixer) first, to raise the level to Line level.

Q:I'm looking for a microphone to do interviews with and get good quality sound through my camera. Can the M2 wireless system (with AM3 mic) plug directly into my DSLR (Nikon D5300)? Is there a better (maybe less bulky) option?
1 answer
A:The M2 is an In-Ear Monitoring system, and would not be correct to use for your application. The Nikon D5300 will accept a stereo (or dual-mono) external microphone. The better choice would be System 10 Camera-Mount (ATW-1702), linked below:
