The AT5040 heralded the launch of Audio-Technica's 50 Series in 2012 and has attracted significant interest from press and public alike since its arrival. Every AT5040 is hand-built and inspected for 100% quality control and is housed in an elegant case of aluminium and brass with grey chrome plating for durability and low reflectivity. Discreet components have been selected for optimised capsule performance, with every aspect of the microphone carefully considered to minimise any effects on the audio signal.
Also in evidence at ISE2013 will be Audio-Technica's ATCS-60 infra-red conference system. The super-secure system, which avoids the 'data-leakage' of radio-based alternatives, will be fully operational on the Audio-Technica stand during the event. Visitors will thus be given the opportunity to gain a meaningful insight into its flexible design, which includes an array of modular components including the ATCS-V60 voting unit and range-increasing transmitters and receivers.
Audio-Technica's long-standing Unipoint and Engineered Sound installation microphone ranges will also feature at the event. The ranges are home to a wide variety of boundary, hanging and gooseneck models - well-proven and popular with installation professionals - and highlights from across the series will be on the Audio-Technica stand, number 1G95, at ISE.
