Audio-Technica has updated its ATDM-0604a Digital SmartMixer, increasing functionality and versatility for fixed installation in conference rooms, education and commercial facilities.
Incorporating upgrades based on feedback from end-users, the ATDM-0604a is now better suited for use in online conferences and large-scale environments.
Key improvements include better echo and noise cancellation – now equivalent to Audio-Technica’s ATDM-1012 flagship SmartMixer model – and cascade connectivity (via Audio-Technica Link) for up to eight mixers (if an ATDM-1012 is the first device) or up to six mixers (if connected with ATDM-0604a only), for larger installations.
In addition, the ATDM-0604a allows remote muting of the ES954 hanging microphone array, via Link connectivity with the ACP-W02S control panel, allowing up to four panels to be used in conjunction with the new SmartMixer (AT-Link Extender may be required) and control of the LED thanks to the new GPO ports.
The ATDM-0604a’s comprehensive feature list includes six mic/line inputs, balanced and (unbalanced) stereo outputs, USB audio input/output, four-band EQ and compressor/de-esser for each input system and 12-band parametric EQ, compressor and limiter for each output. Audio input and output settings can be configured from the front panel without a computer, with advanced control available either via a web browser or the SmartMixer Manager app.
Complementing the updated ATDM-0604a, the ATLK-EXT25 Link Extender provides up to 25W of additional power to the unit for significantly extended cable runs. The Link Extender features a pair of RJ45 ports and connects between the ring or daisy chain of connected components to feed in both directions (forward and reverse).
The final new addition to the Audio-Technica SmartMixer system is the simple, programmable ATCP-W02S wall control panel. Power and data traffic between the panel and SmartMixers is delivered over AT-Link terminals using standard Cat5e or higher cables, with up to four control panels able to be connected to each SmartMixer. Both the pair of backlit buttons (with green/orange/off indication) and and rotary dial (with green/off LED status bars) are configurable with the SmartMixer Manager app or via web remote on PC or Mac.
Used in conjunction with each other, the new ATDM-0604a SmartMixer, ATLK-EXT25 Link Extender and ATCP-W02S Wall Control Panel provide systems integrators with a powerful, scalable and easy-to-use solution for customers across a wide range of sectors.
Recommended retail pricing: ATDM-0604a SmartMixer £899/€1,078.80 (inc VAT); ATLK-EXT25 Link Extender £315/€358,80 (inc VAT); ATCP-W02S Wall Control Panel £210/€238,80 (inc VAT).
