Audio-Technica has announced expanded third-party compatibility for its ATND971 Dante-enabled cardioid condenser boundary microphone and ATND8677 Dante-enabled microphone desk stand. Both units are now supported by Biamp Systems Tesira v2.3 software and Bose ControlSpace Designer software v4.3, in addition to the previously announced compatibility with Symetrix SymNet Composer v3.0.
Biamp Systems Tesira Server and Server I/O allow networking flexibility through the integration of multiple protocols (AVB, CobraNet and Dante) within a single system, using the Dan-1 Dante network card. The ATND series mic can be incorporated into a Tesira system, providing quick audio and control signal set-up. In addition to normal audio input controls, the integrated processing block allows for predetermined button and LED behaviours, as well as the option to control both completely discretely. Each processing block for the ATND series can accept multiple microphone inputs, so individual units with the same control configuration only need to be configured in Tesira once.
Bose ControlSpace Designer software allows configuration, control and monitoring audio systems of networkable Bose Professional processors, amplifiers and Dante endpoints. Version 4.3 of ControlSpace Designer brings new support for the ATND971 cardioid condenser boundary microphone and ATND8677 mic desk stand for easy integration of Dante audio and control.
Symetrix’ SymNet Composer 3.0 open-architecture design software offers native integration of Audio-Technica’s ATND971 Dante-enabled cardioid condenser boundary microphone and the ATND8677 Dante-enabled microphone desk stand. Version 3.0 has built upon the native support of Audinate's Dante media networking technology for select third-party devices in earlier releases, and extends support of market-leading products thanks to new partnerships. Users of the Symetrix SymNet Radius AEC, SymNet Radius 12x8 EX and SymNet Edge Dante-scalable DSPs are now able to streamline configuration procedures and operate fully digital networked audio.
Audio-Technica’s ATND971 bridges the gap between audio and IT as the first wired microphone that transmits audio and control data together over Audinate’s Dante network protocol. A simple Ethernet connection allows the ATND971 network microphone to communicate across an existing network of Dante-enabled devices and, with the microphone’s programmable user switch, control any of those devices at the push of a button. The ATND8677 Desk Stand accommodates gooseneck microphones with standard XLRM-type outputs, offering a simple means of adding gooseneck microphones to Dante audio networks.
