Audio-Technica introduces new generations of wireless microphone

The series 3000 and 5000 provide the user with the power and flexibility needed in wireless microphones to work within the congested UHF spectrum.

The fourth generation of True Diversity wireless systems, with frequency selection Series 3000, and the third in the range of wireless microphones Series 5000 are some of the novelties that Audio-Technica Present until next 28 of January in Winter NAMM 2018 in Anaheim (California).

Plus easy setup, Versatile handling and solid, detail-rich hi-fi sound, the fourth generation of the Series wireless systems 3000 of Audio-Technica provides the user with the power and flexibility needed to work within the congested UHF spectrum.

With a range of tuning of 60 mhz, One of a kind and more than double that offered by previous versions, the new systems of the Series 3000 are available in four frequency bands: DE2 (470–530 MHz), EE1 (530–590 MHz), EF1 (590–650 MHz) and FG1 (650–700 MHz).

These frequencies can be easily scanned and selected on the receiver and, subsequently, synchronized with transmitter via IR. The Series 3000 It even allows the user to set a backup frequency that can be exchanged quickly by pressing the multifunction button on the transmitter, in the event of unexpected interference.

Available system configurations include an ATW-R3210 receiver, combined with an ATW-T3201 beltpack or ATW-T3202 handheld transmitter. The first is equipped with the new four-pin screwed connector -cH style- to provide a secure connection to cH-style lavaliers- and Audio-Technica headband-type microphones or cables.

ATW-T3202 is marketed with interchangeable cardioid capsules, with availability of ATW-C510 dynamics and ATW-C710 capacitor: its industry-standard thread allows the use of both Audio-Technica and compatible capsules. Both transmitters have robust metal housings and are powered by two AA batteries.

The charging terminals present in each of the transmitters are compatible with ATW-CHG3 smart chargers and ATW-CH3N networked smart chargers (sold separately), and allow the recharging of NiMH batteries.

Series 5000

In this line of innovation, Audio-Technica has advanced what will be the third generation of its UHF True Diversity wireless systems, with automatic frequency selection.

The dual receivers of the new Series 5000 deliver the highest quality wireless live sound thanks to Audio-Technica's dual-partner technology, that independently processes high and low frequencies, and its True Diversity operation.

The receiver has been upgraded with a tuning bandwidth of 230 mhz: 470–700 MHz, and users now have the option to select a standard receiver with two balanced XLR outputs (ATW-R5220), or a receiver that also includes a Dante output (ATW-R5220DAN).

The receiver's full rack chassis accommodates two independent receivers and provides antenna power, Frequency sweep, IR sync functionality, Ground disconnect switch and headphone jack on the front panel.

Other features offered are a cascading antenna output, that allows you to connect up to eight receivers, so that a single pair of antennas manages up to sixteen wireless channels (which also provide an RF cable check function to troubleshoot); An Auto Squelch function that automatically adjusts the squelch and reduces potential interference, and a backup frequency.

In addition, ATW-T5201 and ATW-T5202 handheld bodypack transmitters, can be used with the Series 5000, and feature robust metal housings, Dual-mode, high-visibility OLED displays, Programmable functions and switchable RF power (2 mW/10 mW/50 mW). They are available in two different frequency ranges – DE1 (470–590 MHz) and EG1 (580–700 MHz) – to provide complete receiver bandwidth coverage.

ATW-T5201 incorporates the new connector of 4 Pins screwed, cH style by Audio-Technica, to provide a secure connection to A-T cH type connectors on lavalier and headband microphones or cables.
