AUDIO-TECHNICA SHOWS 1800 SERIES DUAL-CHANNEL
CAMERA-MOUNT UHF WIRELESS SYSTEMS AT NAB
— New dual-channel system combines
two independent diversity receivers into a single compact unit —
NAB SHOW, LAS VEGAS, NV, April 16, 2007 —
Audio-Technica, a leader in the design and manufacture of professional
microphones and headphones, shows the 1800 Series Dual-channel Camera-mount
UHF Wireless Systems. With UHF reception of 996 frequencies that are
user-selectable in 25 kHz steps, the new 1800 Series provides extremely
flexible, professional and easy-to-use portable wireless solutions.
Designed for broadcasters and videographers needing a
system for simultaneous operation of two microphones, the dual-channel
1800 Series wireless systems include the ATW-R1820 dual receiver featuring
two completely independent receiver channels in a single unit. Ergonomically
designed, this compact and rugged dual receiver easily mounts on a camera.
Two balanced outputs enable signals to be mixed, or independently assigned
to each output. Independent audio level controls provide flexible audio
mixing and monitoring possibilities.
The 1800 Series comes equipped with a choice of body-pack
and plug-on transmitters. The ATW-T1801 UniPak™ body-pack transmitters
feature a professional locking 4-pin connector compatible with all Audio-Technica
Wireless Essentials® microphones. The ATW-T1802 plug-on transmitters
feature a locking XLR connector for adapting dynamic and condenser microphones.
Both transmitters are powered with two AA batteries and offer selectable
high and low transmission modes to conserve battery life while maximizing
power.
Additional 1800 Series features include True Diversity
operation, automatic frequency scanning, Tone Lock™ squelch, back-lit
LCD, soft-touch buttons, headphone monitor output with independent level
control, and durable metal construction. System components of the 1800
Series and 3000 Series Wireless Systems can be used interchangeably
depending on frequency selection. For users requiring the same performance
in a single-channel version, Audio-Technica offers the 1800 Series Single-channel
Camera-mount UHF Wireless Systems.
