Audio-Technica ATW-1302 System 10 PRO Digital Wireless Handheld Microphone System (2.4 GHz)

Audio-Technica ATW-1302 Overview:

The Audio-Technica ATW-1302 System 10 PRO is a single-channel digital wireless handheld microphone system featuring a half-rack ATW-RC13 receiver chassis equipped with one ATW-RU13 receiver unit. It is well suited for rackmounting in portable flight cases or for permanent installations in educational facilities, conference rooms, small to mid-sized venues, and houses of worship, as well as broadcast studios.

The easy-to-use system comes preconfigured at the factory, ready to operate right out of the box with no setup required. Automatic frequency selection and three levels of diversity reception provide seamless, reliable performance with clear digital audio for presenters, lecturers, clergy, and performers.

The ATW-1302 includes a handheld transmitter with an integrated hypercardioid microphone capsule. The transmitter provides up to 7 hours of continuous use with two AA batteries, at a maximum range of 200′. Up to 10 mic channels can operate simultaneously in the same space.

The receiver unit can be removed from the chassis and mounted remotely (up to 328′ away, connected via an Ethernet cable), for more reliable reception. The chassis can accommodate a second receiver unit (available separately), allowing you to set up a dual-channel wireless system—with an additional transmitter.

Up to five chassis can be linked using RJ12 cables, creating a stable environment in which up to 10 receiver units work together, with all receiving, transmitting, and frequency allocation coordinated to prevent audio dropouts.

Clear Speech with Digital Audio and Handheld Hypercardioid Mic
The System 10 PRO offers full-bandwidth, 24-bit/48 kHz digital audio with none of the audio artifacts associated with analog companding.
The rugged handheld transmitter features an integrated dynamic microphone capsule that delivers a natural sound optimized for speech intelligibility.
The mic’s hypercardioid polar pattern tightly focuses audio capture on the subject directly in front of the mic, minimizing background noise and feedback.
Easy to Set Up, Easy to Operate
Automatic Frequency Selection
Just power up the components, and the receiver automatically seeks out a clean frequency and pairs up with the transmitter, saving you the hassle of scanning and syncing.
While in use, the system continually monitors activity in the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi range and automatically switches to a clean frequency to avoid interference if necessary.
Rugged Receiver Chassis
The durable half-rack receiver chassis can house one or two receiver units and can be mounted alone using the included mounting brackets and screws. Two chassis can be mounted side-by-side using the included joining plate, allowing four wireless mic channels to occupy a single 19″ rackspace for a compact multichannel installation.
The chassis’ front-panel display provides visual status information including RF signal level and the transmitter’s battery life, along with a 3-color audio-level LED and a Pair LED.
A System ID number display indicates which transmitter is associated with a given receiver.
Rear-panel connections include balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4″ output connections as well as output level controls and ground-lift switchs to help eliminate audible hum caused by ground loops.
Versatile Receiver Unit

The receiver unit features two removable antennas.
A 1/4″-20 thread allows for mounting the unit to a bracket, stand, and other fixture. The unit can also be permanently wall mounted using the included receiver unit holder.
Lightweight Handheld Transmitter

The transmitter is housed in a lightweight, plastic chassis.
An internal input trim control can be set—using the included screwdriver—to match the volume of your speaker or vocalist for distortion-free input.
With just a quick press, the power switch on the transmitter doubles as a mute function. This function can be locked out to prevent an accident.
Pairing Multiple Transmitters

With this peer-to-peer system, the transmitter can only transmit to one receiver at a time. However, up to 10 transmitters can be paired with a receiver ahead of time. This is useful in situations when you have multiple speakers, one after another, and you need to have them miked up and ready to go. All you’ll have to do is turn one transmitter off and the next one on.
Three Levels of Diversity Assurance to Avoid Dropouts
Triple Diversity Reception Maximizes Wireless Signal Integrity
Space Diversity: The receiver compares the signal showing up at its two antennas and chooses the strongest one.
Time Diversity: The transmitter sends the digital signal in two imperceptibly different time slots and compares the two.
Frequency Diversity: The digital audio is sent over two different frequencies at the same time and the system chooses the cleaner one.
For optimal performance, users are encouraged to maintain as direct a line of sight as possible between the transmitter and receiver.

2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Band

Unlike traditional analog wireless systems, the System 10 PRO operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, away from interruptions and dropouts caused by TV and radio channel interference.
Add Functionality to Your System
Presenters
Audio-Technica offers the ATW-T1001 bodypack transmitter with a variety of lavalier and headset microphone options to adapt your System 10 PRO as your needs evolve.
The MT830cW lavalier mic allows for hands-free presentations and features an omnidirectional polar pattern for consistent pickup even when the talent turns away from the mic.
The AT831cW mini cardioid lavalier mic offers a narrower, feedback-resistant pickup pattern for louder events.
The discrete PRO-92cW earset mic provides improved clarity in spoken word applications.
Guitarists

The AT-GcW guitar cable lets you connect an ATW-T1001 bodypack transmitter to a guitar or bass.
Video Conferencing

The ATW-T1006 boundary transmitter/mic is designed for tabletop use, ideal for applications such as video-conferencing where minimum visibility is required.
Conferences/Boardrooms

The ATW-T1007 base transmitter can be used with a gooseneck mic on a table for situations where wired mics are impractical.
