Audio-Technica Introduces Fourth-Generation 3000 Series Frequency-Agile True Diversity UHF Wireless Systems

	Audio-Technica's fourth-generation 3000 Series Frequency-Agile True Diversity UHF Wireless System

Audio-Technica, a provider of transducer technology for over 50 years, unveils the next generation of its 3000 Series Frequency-Agile True Diversity UHF Wireless Systems. Providing easy setup, versatile operation, and rock-solid, richly detailed high-fidelity sound, A-T's fourth-generation 3000 Series wireless systems give users the power and flexibility to operate within the congested UHF spectrum.

With a class-leading 60MHz tuning range, which is more than twice that offered by the previous versions, the new 3000 Series systems are available in two frequency bands -- DE2 (470 - 530MHz) and EE1 (530 - 590MHz). Frequencies can be easily scanned and selected on the receiver and then synced with the transmitter via IR sync functionality. The 3000 Series even lets users set a backup frequency that can be quickly swapped by pressing the transmitter's multifunction button in the event of unexpected interference.

Available system configurations feature an ATW-R3210 receiver along with an ATW-T3201 body-pack or ATW-T3202 handheld transmitter. The ATW-T3201 is equipped with Audio-Technica's new rugged cH-style screw-down four-pin connector for secure connection to A-T's cH-style lavalier and headworn microphones, or cables. The ATW-T3202 comes with either an ATW-C510 dynamic or ATW-C710 condenser interchangeable cardioid capsule, and its industry-standard thread allows for the use of A-T and other compatible capsules. Both transmitters feature rugged, metal housings and are powered by two AA batteries. Charging terminals on each transmitter work with the ATW-CHG3 and networkable ATW-CHG3N smart charging docks (sold separately) to recharge NiMH batteries. Antenna power is available for powered antennas and other in-line RF devices. A ground-lift switch helps eliminate audible hum caused by ground loops. The systems feature balanced and unbalanced audio output jacks.

Additional features include:
* An auto squelch feature automatically adjusts the squelch setting to maximize operating range while minimizing potential interference.
* The system's dual-mode receiver display can switch between standard view or a performance view that highlights key metering.
* Transmitters and receivers include OLED screens for optimal readout of key settings and alerts.
* Body-pack transmitter features tactile mute toggle switch (defeatable) for physical confirmation of mute status when transmitter display is not visible.
* Handheld transmitter offers extremely low handling noise and includes an industry-standard thread for use with interchangeable A-T microphone capsules as well as other compatible capsules.
* Six new microphone capsules (based on popular A-T models) are available to give users greater control of their sound.
* System has an operating range of 300' (100m).

Audio-Technica's fourth-generation 3000 Series Frequency-Agile True Diversity UHF Wireless Systems will be available spring 2018.

Audio-Technica is exhibiting at booth 15311 (Level 1 ACC North) at The NAMM Show 2018 in Anaheim, California, January 25 - 28.
