Audio Technica AEW4230 Wireless Microphone System

Description

Audio-Technica AEW-4230 Artist Elite Condenser Microphone System includes the AEW-R4100 receiver and handheld AEW-T3300 cardioid condenser microphone / transmitter.

Audio-Technica's 4000 Series frequency-agile UHF body-pack and handheld wireless microphone systems bring outstanding clarity and versatility to live performance, regional touring, fixed installations and more. At the heart of the 4000 Series is a rugged True Diversity half-rack receiver, the AEW-R4100, with 200 selectable channels offered in each of 2 available UHF bands.

Receivers from both the 4000 and 5000 Series may be linked and monitored by the 5000 Series system software. The IntelliScan feature of Audio-Technica AEW-4230 automatically determines and sets the best available frequencies on all linked receivers. Multiple system configurations are available, with handheld vocal microphone/transmitters and UniPak body-pack transmitters designed for use with lavalier, headworn and instrument microphones as well as electric guitars.
