127th AES CONVENTION, NEW YORK, NY, October 9, 2009
— As part of its ongoing commitment to the contractor/system integrator
market sector, Audio-Technica, known worldwide as a leading producer of
precision audio transducers and related items for over 45 years, is
continuing to offer Engineered Sound contractors an exclusive program
for its Engineered Sound® product line. As part of this initiative,
Audio-Technica is offering new freight options and extended terms; the
company has also expanded the warranty on its entire range of
Engineered Sound products to five years.
The Audio-Technica
Engineered Sound line is available only to the professional installed
sound market via a network of specialized sound contractors and system
integrators, as opposed to retail outlets. The Engineered Sound line
builds on A-T’s commitment to offering the fixed installation/sound
contracting market the highest performance products, featuring RoHS
compliance, full UniGuard® RFI immunity and the ability to meet
international specifications.
Since their introduction,
Engineered Sound microphones
and accessories have been the first choice of leading contractors and
system integrators for installation in churches, boardrooms and
government meeting rooms, courtrooms, distance-learning facilities and
other corporate installations. This contractor-exclusive line includes
a wide assortment of UniGuard RFI-protected gooseneck, hanging,
boundary, lavalier and handheld microphones.
The Engineered Sound line also includes Audio-Technica’s recently introduced
ATCS-60 Infrared Conference System.
The ATCS-60 IR is a fully self-contained wireless distributed audio
system using infrared communications technology, designed for
corporate, government and educational applications. Additionally, the
Engineered Sound line also includes the industry’s first-ever ultra
wideband (UWB) wireless microphone system, Audio-Technica’s innovative
SpectraPulse® UWB Wireless Microphone System.
Unlike traditional FM carrier-based systems, the award-winning
SpectraPulse System offers 14 simultaneous channels that operate
flawlessly without RF turf wars, “white space” issues, frequency
hunting/coordination or interference.
Tom George, the Director
of Installations at Eighth Day Sound Systems, based out of Highland
Heights, Ohio, stated, “Sound contracting products need to be extremely
durable – basically bulletproof – since in most cases, an installation
requires that they work for months or years on end. Audio-Technica’s
Engineered Sound products always meet these demands in a major way, and
the new extended warranty underscores Audio-Technica’s reliability and
commitment to the fixed installation markets. This is why I continue to
spec Audio-Technica for critical installations in boardrooms, corporate
facilities and houses of worship.”
“Our new programs for the
contractor-only Engineered Sound product line will benefit our E.S.
dealers and end-users alike,” stated Greg Pinto, Audio-Technica VP of
Marketing. “Extending the warranty on E.S. products to 5-years reflects
the confidence the marketplace has in Audio-Technica products, while
extending terms and freight programs show our commitment to solving the
day-to-day difficulties faced by contractors and integrators in these
difficult economic times. It’s a winning combination for everyone.”
