The mtu301 Body-Pack Transmitter joins Audio-Technica’s SpectraPulse Ultra Wideband (UWB) wireless microphone system. Billed as ‘a completely new application of UWB technologya, SpectraPulse offers secure wireless operation for the installed sound market, free from RF competition, frequency coordination and ‘white space’ issues.

The mtu301 joins the SpectraPulse mtu101 Microphone Transmitter (in a boundary mic design) and mtu201 XLR Desk Stand Transmitter (paired with gooseneck mics) to offer flexible options for presenters and performers. Like the other SpectraPulse components, the mtu301 is immune to 700MHz and spectrum-crowding issues. It is optimised to work with Audio-Technica lavalier and headworn microphones pre-terminated with a compatible input connector, and provides bias voltage for electret condenser microphones.

The mtu301 has an on/off switch, a mute switch and LEDs indicating power/mute and link status, as well as low-battery warning. The unit operates on standard Alkaline or NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable AA batteries. A charger (model chg001; available separately) allows NiMH batteries to recharge within the unit. The mtu301 offers approximately nine hours of battery life.
