The Audio-Technica ATW-D50-DRX-BH D50 2-channel handheld system features the Audio-Technica LINK-enabled 2-channel receiver and two ATW-DT3202/C510 handheld transmitters.
The half-rack receiver operates in one of two switchable RF modes: normal mode (Antenna Combining Diversity) or robust mode (MRC True Diversity) for greater RF stability. Up to four receivers can be linked and operated without antenna distribution, requiring only a single pair of antennas. Plus, the system's HD (high-density) mode gives users the option of expanding the number of usable frequencies from the standard 17 within a 6MHz TV channel block to 47 frequencies in HD - a feature that can be especially useful in the congested RF environments of large cities.
The receiver comes with an AC adapter, but can also be powered by PoE+, either exclusively or as a backup power source for the AC.
The handheld transmitters come equipped with Audio-Technica's ATW-C510 cardioid dynamic capsule, a workhorse trusted by professionals to capture every nuance of the human voice. The transmitter also works with a wide variety of additional capsules, including A-T's legendary Artist Elite ATW-C4100 cardioid dynamic, ATW-C6100 hypercardioid dynamic, ATW-C3300 and ATW-C5400 cardioid condensers as well as the ATW-C710 cardioid condenser. External control buttons and an OLED status display make the transmitter easy to use, and a special SideTrack function allows switching between multiple outputs - providing discrete live communications with fellow performers or audio engineers.
The transmitter is powered by a custom-designed lithium-ion battery, providing best-in-class battery life. The battery can be charged in the transmitter, using the ATW-CHG6 two-bay charging station (sold separately), or can be removed from the transmitter and charged separately in the ATW-CHGA6 battery charger (included with this system).
