Taking cues from the sound and proprietary design of the company's ATH-M50 professional monitor headphones, the new ATH-M20x, ATH-M30x and ATH-M40x deliver accurate audio and outstanding comfort, perfect for long listening sessions. The ATH-M20x, ATH-M30x and ATH-M40x all feature 40mm drivers with rare earth magnets and copper-clad aluminium voice coils, as well as a circumaural design that contours around the ears for excellent sound isolation in loud environments. The ATH-M50x (featuring 45mm drivers) has the exact same sonic signature as the original ATH-M50 and adds refined earpads and three detachable cables.
Inspired by Audio-Technica's popular BP892 MicroSet, the BP894 features a rotating capsule housing with talk-side indicator for use on either ear and perfect polar pattern placement.
The MicroSet BP894 takes headworn microphones to the next level, by allowing the cardioid capsule to be aimed directly at the sound source (ie the microphone faces the mouth, rather than facing forward like other options on the market). The uniform pickup pattern provides excellent rejection of outside noise, with exceptional gain-before-feedback when used with live sound systems and stage monitors.
Audio-Technica's ATCS-60 digital infrared conference system will also be on the company's booth at ISE, allowing visitors to experience the flexible system, popular for its security and modular design which allows voting modules and range-boosting transmitters etc to be added as necessary.
Finally, Audio-Technica's affordable System 10 wireless system will be in evidence at ISE2014. Operating in the 2.4GHz range, System 10 offers extremely easy operation and instant channel selection. Up to eight channels may be used together with no frequency coordination problems or group selection issues, making the system ideal for budget-conscious situations where multiple set-ups are required.
