ATND971a

Common name: Audio-Technica ATND971a

Production Status: In production

The ATND971a boundary mic not only delivers audio, with outstanding speech intelligibility and transparent sound quality, but it also transmits control data to communicate across a network of Dante-enabled devices. The ATND971a is ideal for boardrooms and other meeting spaces. The integrated programmable user switch allows users to trigger a video camera’s pan/tilt, recall lighting presets or control anything else on the network at the push of a button. And with a Red/Green LED the microphone can visually convey mute status, incoming phone calls or other creative visual effects utilising a control system. The microphone plugs into the network via Ethernet cable – easy to install and operate. Additional interchangeable elements – omnidirectional (360°) and cardioid (120°) – are available separately. This latest “a” version also offers plug-and-play compatibility with AES67 networks, including those that utilise Livewire, RAVENNA and Q-LAN AoIP technologies, and increases the Dante Domain Manager features, adding role-based security, cross-subnet routing, SNMP alerts and more. Dante uses standard Internet protocols to distribute digital audio and control data with very low latency. Network Microphones exploit Dante’s advantages to provide a powerful audio solution that’s easy to implement, use and expand.
