Audio-Technica has chosen the ISE 2012 show to unveil new transmitter and receiver antennae for its ATCS-60 infrared conference system.
Designed to increase the operating range of the ATCS-60 and allow for greater portability, the new antenna system consists of the ATCS-A60MX controller unit, ATCS-A60TX transmitter and ATCS-A60RX receiver.
The ATCS-A60RX more than doubles the range of the current ATCS-60 system, to approximately 15m. This enables systems to be used in high-ceiling locations and, importantly, installations where antennas are positioned from the side, making the new receiver better suited to portable applications and changing conference environments.
The ATCS-A60MX controller unit can drive up to four ATCS-A60TX transmitters (which have a range of 20m) and four ATCS-A60RX receivers – up to four controllers can be connected to the ATCS-C60 central unit to allow for a maximum of 16 transmitters and receivers to be employed in an installation.
Both new antennas have a quarter-inch thread mounting, and it is possible to locate TX and RX units directly next to one another, enabling easy mounting options.
