Audio-Technica Offers Dante Network Microphone Desk StandAudio-Technica, a provider of transducer technology for over 50 years, offers its new ATND8677 Microphone Desk Stand with Dante Network Output. The ATND8677 Microphone Desk Stand fits gooseneck microphones with standard XLRM-type outputs, offering installers previously unavailable simplicity in adding gooseneck microphones to Dante audio networks. The new ATND8677 joins the ATND971 Network Boundary Microphone, launched earlier in the year -- the world's first two such products to offer Dante network functionality in this manner. Removing the need for a separate standalone Dante audio interface, while adding a useful integrated switch with indicator functionality, the ATND8677 connects directly to the audio network via standard RJ-45 connector and structured cabling, allowing for flexibility in installation and quick re-locations. Audio-Technica has been working closely with industry leading DSP manufacturers such as Biamp and Symetrix to ensure complete GPIO-Over Dante enabled control software integration for simple, flexible operation without the need for analog audio and control cabling. The sturdy metal base features a three-pin XLRF-type in and Dante network output, a capacitive switch with a green/red LED light switch surround, switchable gain (+30dB/+40dB/+50dB), phantom power and selectable toggle/momentary switch operation. Features UniGuard RFI-shielding technology and UniSteep low-cut filter. Now with two groundbreaking network microphone products launched during 2014, Audio-Technica is demonstrating its commitment to both the network audio segment in general and the Dante communications protocol. The ATND8677 will be available November 2014.
