Audio-Technica has added the Dante-capable 3000 Digital Series wireless system to the UHF-based 3000 Series in the company’s wireless offering.
The 3000 Digital Series system features 48kHz, 24kHz processing, a dynamic range of 120dB and 60MHz tuning range, along with analogue-balanced audio outputs achieving a latency of 2.5ms. On a Dante network, up to five ATW-DR3120DAN dual-channel receivers can be connected to allow a single pair of antennas to feed up to ten channels of wireless, reducing the rack space required and minimising cost. Control of the system is made straightforward via software monitoring that gives access to frequency co-ordination, charging status and log information.
Further networking and scalability options are enabled by the 3000 Digital Series’ support of IP touchpanel interfaces from the likes of AMX and Crestron, allowing tight integration to existing A/V systems.
The 3000 Digital Series also offers security features; using a 4-digit code as a common encryption key for the PIN code, only the set microphone and receiver are able to communicate, while an AES-256 (Advanced Encryption Standard) setting protects audio signals from eavesdropping and leakage.
The ATW-DT3102 handheld transmitter is equipped with an industry-standard thread to allow use with Audio-Technica’s interchangeable microphone capsules – including those from its flagship Artist Elite range – as well as other compatible options. A multifunction button on the transmitter body can be used to switch to a backup frequency on both transmitter and receiver should interference be encountered, guaranteeing transmission.
In addition to the handheld microphone transmitter option, the ATW-DT3101 body pack transmitter is also available, with a four-pin locking connector and 80Hz/120Hz/160Hz high-pass filter. The body pack transmitter also features the performance-saving multifunction button that appears on the ATW-DT3102.
