Frequency-agile True Diversity UHF Wireless Systems
Audio-Technica announced the new 2000 Series UHF True Diversity Wireless Microphone Systems, the companys latest entry in its extensive line of professional wireless systems. The 2000 Series is a 10-channel frequency-agile UHF wireless system designed to suit a variety of applications, including MI/live performance, fixed installation, public address, A/V rental houses, and places of worship. It offers true diversity operation, easy setup, automatic frequency scanning with interference-free performance, and all the advantages of a high-quality, professional wireless system at an extremely affordable price. The true diversity ATW-R2100 half-rack receiver features an all-metal housing for superb shielding, as well as dual independent receiver sections. Its true diversity operation selects the best signal from the two independent receiver sections, thus reducing dropouts and minimizing multipath distortion. The ATW-R2100 offers 10 PLL-synthesized UHF frequencies, advanced digital Tone Lock squelch, soft-touch controls with LCD information display, detachable UHF antennas, plus a rack-mount kit. Also included is a transmitter battery indicator LED, XLRM-type balanced and 1/4" unbalanced outputs, plus a ground-lift switch.

BODY-PACK TRANSMITTER SPECIFICATIONS
The versatile ATW-T210 UniPak body-pack transmitter has a multi-function LCD display, soft-touch controls for convenient set-up and operation, along with low- and high-impedance inputs (with a bias connection) for use with dynamic and electret condenser microphones as well as Hi-Z instrument pickups. In addition to its programmable functions, the ATW-T210 has a hinged cover to limit access to controls as appropriate for the application and user. The ATW-T210 is powered by two easily installed 1.5V AA batteries that provide approximately nine hours of operation. The ATW-T210 is compatible with the Audio-Technica Wireless Essentials accessories.RF Power Output 12 mWSpurious Emissions Under federal regulationsInput Connections High impedance, low impedance, biasBatteries Two 1.5V AA alkaline (not included)Current Consumption 150 mA typicalBattery Life Approximately 9 hours (depending on battery type and use pattern)Dimensions 2.60" (66.0 mm) W x 3.63" (92.3 mm) H x 0.89" (22.5 mm) DNet Weight 2.82 oz (80 g)
HANDHELD TRANSMITTER SPECIFICATIONS
ATW-T220 Handheld Microphone/Transmitter features PRO 41 Capsule for maximum feedback rejection and consistent sound The ATW-T220 handheld microphone/transmitter features the same resilient capsule as A-Ts popular PRO 41 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone. This element assembly, part of the R & D for A-Ts acclaimed PRO Series, was specifically designed with high-performance specifications in mind for clarity, volume, and durability. Providing a natural, focused vocal pickup while supplying excellent feedback rejection, its internal shock mounting reduces handling noise, making the ATW-T220 ideal for close-up vocal use in live performance settings. Whether used as a handheld mic or mounted on a microphone stand, the ATW-T220 handheld microphone/transmitter excels by virtue of its rugged metal construction, the included AT8456a Quiet-Flex stand clamp, and extended battery life approximately nine hours, powered by two 1.5V AA batteries.RF Power Output 12 mWSpurious Emissions Under federal regulationsMicrophone Element Dynamic, unidirectionalBatteries Two 1.5V AA alkaline (not included)Current Consumption 150 mA typicalBattery Life Approximately 9 hours (depending on battery type and use pattern)Dimensions 9.02" (229.0 mm) long x 2.11" (53.5 mm) maximum diameterNet Weight 7.81 oz (221.5 g)Accessory Included AT8456a Quiet-Flex stand clamp
