zZounds Gear Experts Say...

Add a highly reliable and easy-to-deploy dual wireless lavalier system to your live sound rig with the Audio-Technica System 20 PRO ATW-1421/L.

Overview

This Audio-Technica System 20 Digital Wireless System includes one ATW-R1440 4-channel receiver, two ATW-T1401 bodypack transmitters, and two MT830cW lavalier microphones.

When Audio Technica launched the System 10 PRO rack-mount receiver they took 2.4 GHz wireless microphone systems to a new level of functionality and convenience. Now, with the System 20 PRO they take it even further, offering a self-managing, plug-and-play 2.4 GHz system that's scalable to 20 channels and delivers the same dependable, high-quality audio - regardless of where you set it up. Designed for hassle-free deployment, the system overcomes many challenges of conventional wireless microphones, such as frequency coordination, complex intermodulation calculations, and remote antenna cabling.

Features:

- Digital 24-bit/48 kHz wireless operation for ultimate sound quality and dependable performance
- Plug-and-play operation in the 2.4 GHz range - completely free from TV interference
- User can switch between Standard mode (10 channels) and HD mode (20 channels) to minimize latency or maximize channel count, respectively
- Receiver units can be docked in the chassis or mounted remotely (up to 328 feet away) via Ethernet cable for added versatility
- Up to five chassis can be linked and used simultaneously
- Each receiver channel can be paired with up to four transmitters, allowing users to instantly switch between different transmitter configurations
- Chassis' System ID Display shows RF signal… read more level, system ID, transmitter battery level, and system link status
- Each half-rack receiver chassis comes with a short and a long rack ear, and two long ears can be combined as a joining plate to secure two chassis in a full rack space
- Compatible with Audio-Technica's Wireless Manager software for centralized management of system settings and operations
- Auto-lock function prevents unintended operations like turning off the power or displaying the channel select screen
- AES128 encryption for security
- Compatible with Syslog protocol
- Ability to configure, monitor, and save device settings as projects in Wireless Manager
- Transmitters and receivers include OLED screens for optimal readout of key settings and alerts
- Water- and sweat-resistant cW-style connector on body-pack transmitter provides secure connection to lavalier mics, headworn mics, and cables with cW-style locking 4-pin connector
- Charging terminals on body-pack and handheld transmitters work with ATW-CHG3/ATW-CHG3a and ATW-CHG3N/ATW-CHG3Na charging docks to recharge NiMH batteries
- Supports mixed output for situations with limited input channels

Capable of receiving up to four transmitters, the system's ATW-R1440 receiver makes installation a breeze. Receiver units can remain docked in the half-rack chassis or be mounted remotely (up to 328 feet away) via Ethernet cable for added versatility. Up to five chassis can be linked using the included RJ12 cable, creating a stable, multichannel system with the simultaneous use of up to 20 channels. But the user is always free to choose the most effective operation mode for a given situation: Standard mode (10 channels) to minimize latency or HD mode (20 channels) to maximize channel count.

Seamless setup and management are controlled via Audio-Technica's Wireless Manager software, which is capable of managing multiple UHF, 2.4 GHz and DECT wireless systems from a single screen. In addition, AES128 encryption comes standard, providing security and reliable operation. The transmitters included in each system are paired and ready to use out of the box, and offer all-day operation on a full charge.

ATW-R1440 System 20 PRO 4-Channel Receiver:
- Half-rack chassis capable of receiving up to four transmitters
- Each receiver channel can be paired with up to four transmitters, allowing users to instantly switch between different transmitter configurations
- Switch between Standard (10 channels) and HD (20 channels) modes
