Audio-Technica expanded its commercial audio products with the introduction of its new Engineered Sound Wireless system aimed at UCC and EDU applications. Audio-Technica’s Engineered Sound Wireless system is a DECT-based wireless solution that offers scalable audio for wireless microphone applications.

At full charge, the batteries offer all-day operation. Installation is via PoE to power the receiver(s) and Dante audio outputs. System integrators can configure detailed settings to meet a wide variety of end-user needs via Audio-Technica’s Wireless Manager software, which is capable of managing multiple wireless systems, including UHF wireless systems, from a single screen. The Engineered Sound Wireless System is scalable up to 96 channels with wiring as simple as connecting a single Cat 5e cable per receiver to a PoE network switch. In addition, AES256 encryption comes standard.

The new system is composed of the ESW-R4180DAN 8-channel Dante-enabled receiver and a choice of four transmitters to suit a wide variety of applications — the ESW-T4101 bodypack with a built-in microphone, ESW-T4102/C510 handheld, ESW-T4106 boundary microphone and ESW-T4107 desk stand.

The transmitter options each feature lithium-ion batteries for all-day operation on a single charge — charging stations are available using the ESW-CHG4 two-bay body-pack and handheld charging station and the ESW-CHG5 four-bay desk stand and boundary charging station. The charging stations provide full power recharge in as little as two hours and multiple units can be linked (up to four ESW-CHG4 or two ESW-CHG5) with one AC adaptor and Cat 5e cable.
