Audio-Technica Debuts A-T LINK for Its ATND1061LK Beamforming Ceiling Array Microphone
Audio-Technica announced the release of its new A-T LINK proprietary communication protocol for digital interconnection of compatible A-T Commercial Audio microphone and mixing solutions. Audio-Technica says A-T LINK transmits uncompressed multi-channel digital audio and control information via category cables with minimal latency.
A-T LINK is natively supported by Audio-Technica’s ATND1061LK beamforming ceiling array microphone, providing a solution for conference rooms, boardrooms and meeting spaces large and small. The ESM-R4180LK receiver in A-T’s Engineered Sound Wireless System also integrates with the A-T LINK protocol, offering simple, smart and scalable high-quality audio. Digital audio source signals delivered via A-T LINK can be individually assigned to the input channels of A-T 6- or 10-channel Digital SmartMixers. In addition, the ATDM-1012DAN mixer can bridge A-T LINK audio channels to a Dante network for interoperability with third-party devices. A-T LINK offers “efficient system audio routing and control within the ATDM Mixer Web Remote.”
A key advantage of A-T LINK interconnectivity is its ability to power A-T LINK microphone solutions without the need for a power cable, external power supply or a PoE switch. Where necessary, A-T LINK extenders are available to extend the number of downstream devices that can be powered.
A-T LINK is not an internet protocol (AoIP), but it does operate via readily available CAT5e or better cables. The flexibility and scalability (via daisy chaining) of A-T LINK make it ideal for any A-T Commercial Audio installation, no matter the size or use case. And because A-T LINK is not a network protocol, it provides an inherently secure independent data chain.
