How to Choose the Right
System for Your Needs
If you’re a performing musician, presenter, or content creator, Audio-Technica’s System 10 wireless system gives you advanced 24-bit digital operation, quick setup, and clear, natural-sounding high-fidelity audio. Operating in the 2.4GHz range, well away from TV band interference, System 10 offers instantaneous channel selection and is remarkably easy to use. You can use up to to eight channels together (ten, with the System 10 PRO Rackmount series) without frequency coordination issues or group selection hassles. System 10 receivers and transmitters provide an easy-to-read digital ID display that makes transmitter/receiver matching a no-brainer.
- Digital 24-bit/48kHz wireless operation for superior sonics and dependable performance
- Operates in the 2.4GHz range — completely free from TV interference
- Three levels of diversity assurance: frequency, time, and space
- Automatic frequency selection for seamless, interference-free operation
- Extremely easy operation with instantaneous channel selection, sync, and setup
- Two series to suit your application: Stack-Mount and PRO Rackmount
Frequency-agile 2.4GHz Operation
From WiFi to your microwave oven, there’s lots of activity within the 2.4GHz range. That’s why Audio-Technica designed System 10 as a frequency-agile system that continually detects and adjusts its frequency to operate without interference. In System 10, both the receiver and transmitters units are actually transceivers that constantly communicate with each another. These transceivers make sure that your System 10 is always aware of other 2.4GHz signals in a given area, and, if necessary, it can automatically change frequencies to avoid interference.
Three Levels of Diversity for
Clean Communications
Performers and front-of-house engineers at Sweetwater know that diversity is your key to clear, strong wireless signals. Audio-Technica’s System 10 ensures clean communications by delivering three levels of diversity assurance: frequency, time, and space. Frequency diversity routes the signal over two dynamically allocated frequencies for interference-free communication. Time diversity transmits the signal in multiple time slots for maximum immunity to multipath interference. Lastly, space diversity employs dual antennas on each transmitter and receiver to compensate for the natively shorter wavelengths of a 2.4GHz system, thereby maximizing signal integrity.
24-bit/48kHz Audio Quality —
No Analog Companding
System 10 delivers full-bandwidth, high-fidelity audio, and unlike traditional analog wireless, there is no companding during transmission or reception. System 10 delivers full-frequency response (from 20Hz to 20kHz, depending on the mic type) and better-than-CD audio quality of 24-bit/48kHz.
Pair Multiple Transmitters
to One Receiver
The System 10 PRO Rackmount series allows for pairing each receiver unit with 10 individual transmitters. With just one receiver unit, you can employ multiple mics simply by turning one paired mic off and turning another one on. This is ideal, for instance, if you’re an instrument-switching performer, or if you’re running sound at a house of worship and need to switch from the pastor’s bodypack system to a praise vocalist’s handheld. And unlike analog FM systems, there is no noise should a performer accidentally turn on the second transmitter while the first one is active; your System 10 receiver simply ignores it.
Plays Nice with Existing Wireless Systems
Because System 10 continually monitors activity in the 2.4GHz range and automatically adjusts its own frequencies on the fly to avoid interference, it works especially well in environments with existing WiFi networks. It’s also ideal for adding additional channels on top of an existing TV-band wireless rig, as it won’t cause intermodulation distortion or interference. Nor will you need to reconfigure your existing setup, as you would have to if you were adding additional TV-band wireless.
Works Well with Other
2.4GHz WiFi Gear
Many sound systems offer WiFi remote mix-control options via a LAN driven through a WiFi router. Audio-Technica’s System 10 with Diversity Assurance sees and avoids these WiFi channels, allowing it to perform flawlessly when used with these systems.
Two Platforms to Suit
Your Application
System 10 wireless is available in two platforms: Stack-Mount and PRO Rackmount. So, whether you’re configuring a wireless system for a house of worship, a pro touring rig, or a guitar/bass/instrument setup, Audio-Technica System 10 has you covered.
in two platforms:
- Stack-Mount
- PRO Rackmount
System 10 Stack-Mount
The Audio-Technica System 10 Stack-Mount series lets you use up to eight channels together. The compact, lightweight receiver is stack-mountable, making it perfect for on-the-go applications. It gives you both balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4″ outputs with level control, along with front panel AF Peak and Pair indicator LEDs. Available in handheld, lavalier, and bodypack configurations, System 10 Stack-Mount wireless systems include the ATW-R1100 receiver and your choice of an ATW-T1001 UniPak bodypack or an ATW-T1002 handheld transmitter. Lavalier and headworn bodypack configurations are also available.
Features:
- Easy operation with instantaneous channel selection, sync, and setup
- State-of-the-art digital receiver for reliable performance
- Balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4″ output jacks with level control
System 10 PRO Rackmount
Audio-Technica’s System 10 PRO Rackmount digital wireless system is so simple to use, so dependable, and so automatic; you never even have to think about it. Set it up anywhere, turn it on, and you’re ready to roll. System 10 PRO gives you interference-free operation in the 2.4GHz range — outside TV bands, and it’s packed with innovative features that make it extremely versatile. A roadworthy, all-metal, half-rackspace chassis houses two receiver units you can operate locally, or release from the chassis and mount remotely (up to 328′ away) via Ethernet cable. You can link up to five chassis (that’s ten receiver units) using the included RJ12 cable to build a stable multichannel system with concurrent use of up to ten channels. Easy-to-read displays on both the transmitter and receiver keep you informed of operational status. System 10 PRO Rackmount systems include the ATW-RC13 receiver chassis with rackmount brackets, a joining plate (in dual-channel systems), one or two ATW-RU13 receiver units with attendant AT8690 receiver-mounting bracket(s), one RJ12 link cable, one AC adapter, and one or two ATW-T1001 UniPak bodypack or ATW-T1002 handheld transmitters. Lavalier bodypack configurations are also available.
Versatile receiver mounting options:
- Receiver units can be docked in the chassis
- Mounted remotely (up to 328′ away) via Ethernet cable
Up to 5 chassis (10 receiver units) can be linked and used simultaneously
Each receiver unit can be paired with up to 10 transmitters:
- Instantly switch between different transmitter configurations
Chassis System ID display shows:
- RF signal level
- System ID
- Transmitter battery level
- System link status
Ground-lift switch helps eliminate audible hum caused by ground loop
