Audio-Technica | 1800 Series Camera-mount UHF Wireless Systems | | |  |  |  | | | | | | Click on a photo to view a larger image | | MSRP* US$720.00-$1,795.00 *Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price.| Actual selling price may vary; please check with an authorized Audio-Technica dealer. With UHF reception (996 frequencies user-selectable in 25 kHz steps), Audio-Technica's new 1800 Series camera-mount wireless microphone systems provide extremely flexible, professional, and easy-to-use portable wireless solutions. The 1800 Series is available in dual-channel and single-channel systems. For simultaneous operation of two microphones, dual-channel 1800 wireless systems include the ATW-R1820 dual receiver with two completely independent receiver channels in a single unit. Dual balanced outputs enable signals to be mixed, or independently assigned to each output. Independent audio level controls provide flexible audio mixing and monitoring possibilities. For those using a single microphone, the single-channel 1800 Series systems include the ATW-R1810 single-channel receiver. 1800 Series wireless systems come equipped with a choice of plug-on and body-pack transmitters. The ATW-T1801 UniPak« body-pack transmitters feature a professional locking 4-pin connector compatible with all Audio-Technica Wireless Essentials« microphones. The ATW-T1802 plug-on transmitters feature a locking XLR connector for adapting dynamic and condenser microphones. Both transmitters offer selectable high and low transmission modes to conserve battery life/maximize power. Additional 1800 Series features include automatic frequency scanning, Tone Lock? squelch, back-lit LCD, soft-touch buttons, headphone monitor output with independent level control, and durable metal construction. - Two completely independent receiver channels in a single unit, for simultaneous operation of two microphones (dual-channel systems)
