Audio Technica AEW5244 Wireless Microphone System

Description

AEW-R5200 dual receiver and two AEW-T4100 cardioid dynamic microphone/transmitters.

Designed for use on professional tours, in stadiums, concert halls, houses of worship and other demanding audio environments, Audio-Technica’s dual-receiver Artist Elite? 5000 Series provides incredible audio quality and proven, critically acclaimed performance for artists, broadcasters and presenters worldwide.

With two independent True Diversity receivers in a single full-rack housing, the 5000 Series conserves rack space while providing outstandingly reliable and flexible performance. Two hundred selectable channels are offered in each of two available UHF bands. Receivers may be linked to form a complete system in which the built-in IntelliScan capability automatically determines and sets the best available frequencies on all linked receivers. Equipped with Ethernet ports, the 5000 Series receiver allows computer management and control (software included).

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.

Features

• Two independent receivers in a single housing

• 200 selectable UHF channels per band and True Diversity reception for interference-resistant operation

• Available in two frequency bands:

  541.500 - 566.375 MHz (TV Channels 25 - 30) and
  655.500 - 680.375 MHz (TV Channels 44 - 49)
  

• IntelliScan™ feature automatically finds and sets best available frequencies on all linked receivers

• On-board Ethernet interface for monitoring and controlling system parameters with included AEW Control Interface software
