The new 3000A 200 frequency agile, UHF wireless system, represents a high performance, professionally spec'd, mid-budget wireless solution, for AV rental, sound touring, theatre sound, sound installation, and broadcast production applications, say the company. The inclusion of A-T's Automatic Frequency Scanning technology greatly enhances operation, automatically searching and setting the best available frequency in the spectrum, avoiding interference and intermodulation problems.
In particular, when operating multi-channel systems, the function provides for interference free frequency configuration of each receiver at the touch of a button. Up to 16 simultaneous systems per frequency band are compatible, for a total maximum of 32 simultaneous systems across two bands.
The 3000A Series features Audio-Technica's Digital Tone Lock Squelch, plus an easy-to-read LCD information display on each receiver unit. This provides convenient visual indications of settings and operation status. The new ATW-R3100 receiver also benefits from a newly designed high-specification front-end filtering system, along with the latest Audio-Technica 1/2-wave antenna technology to maximize both simultaneous frequency use and range. It also features an all-metal housing for superior shielding, as well as dual independent receiver sections for true diversity operation.
The 3000 Series is comprised of two system options: the ATW-3110A UHF UniPak Transmitter System, comprising the ATW-R3100 true diversity receiver and the ATW-T310 UniPak body-pack transmitter; and the ATW-3141A UHF Handheld Dynamic Microphone System, which also includes the ATW-R3100 receiver, plus the ATW-T341 handheld microphone/transmitter.
Other system features include: Balanced and unbalanced audio output jacks, soft-touch controls on all components, and step-through menus and side-by-side mounting of two receivers in a single 19" rack space. ATW-T310 UniPak transmitter includes Super Hi-Z input, which provides optimum load for guitar pickups and the ATW-T341 handheld microphone/transmitter features the Artist Elite AE4100 cardioid dynamic element.
