Audio Technica ATW-1423 System 20 PRO Body-Pack & Handheld Wireless Mic System 2.4GHz
The Audio Technica ATW-1423 is a System 20 PRO Mixed 2.4GHz Digital Wireless Microphone System comprising the ATW-R1440 4-channel half-rack receiver chassis, one ATW-T1401 body-pack transmitter and one ATW-T1402 handheld transmitter — delivering 24-bit/48kHz audio, AES128 encryption and scalability to 20 simultaneous channels for versatile live sound, presentation and commercial audio applications.
The Audio Technica ATW-1423 is the mixed transmitter configuration of the System 20 PRO range — combining one ATW-T1401 body-pack transmitter and one ATW-T1402 handheld transmitter with the ATW-R1440 4-channel half-rack receiver chassis in a single system. This makes the ATW-1423 the most versatile System 20 PRO system for live events, houses of worship, theatres, conference rooms and educational facilities where both a handheld microphone for vocalists or presenters and a body-pack for lavalier or headworn microphone use are needed simultaneously from a single system purchase. Operating in the 2.4GHz band, the system is completely free from TV interference and frequency licensing requirements, with 24-bit/48kHz audio quality, AES128 encryption and scalability to 20 simultaneous channels.
ATW-R1440 4-Channel Half-Rack Receiver Chassis
The ATW-R1440 is a half-rack receiver chassis capable of receiving up to four transmitters simultaneously, with each receiver channel pairable with up to four different transmitters for instant switching between configurations without re-pairing. The half-rack chassis is supplied with both short and long rack ears — two long ears can be combined as a joining plate to secure two chassis in a single full rack space. Receiver units can be docked in the chassis or mounted remotely at up to 100m away via Ethernet cable for added installation flexibility. Up to five chassis can be linked using the included RJ12 cable, creating a stable multichannel system supporting up to 20 simultaneous channels. The chassis System ID Display shows RF signal level, system ID, transmitter battery level and system link status at a glance.
Standard & HD Operating Modes
Two selectable operating modes suit different application requirements — Standard mode (10 channels) minimises latency to just 2.8ms for live performance applications where timing is critical, whilst HD mode (20 channels) maximises channel count for large-scale installations and events. Both modes operate at 24-bit/48kHz audio sampling throughout.
ATW-T1401 Body-Pack Transmitter
The ATW-T1401 body-pack transmitter features a water and sweat-resistant cW-style locking 4-pin connector for secure connection to a wide range of Audio-Technica lavalier microphones, headworn microphones and instrument cables, true diversity dual antennas, an OLED display and a slide-to-mute switch. It accepts two AA batteries for up to 15 hours of operation on alkaline batteries (up to 29 hours on lithium), and includes charging terminals compatible with Audio-Technica ATW-CHG3 and ATW-CHG3N charging docks when used with NiMH rechargeable batteries.
ATW-T1402 Handheld Transmitter
The ATW-T1402 handheld transmitter features a dynamic hypercardioid microphone capsule for focused, feedback-resistant vocal pickup, true diversity dual antennas, an OLED display and a slide-to-mute switch. It accepts two AA batteries for up to 18 hours of operation on alkaline batteries (up to 35 hours on lithium), and includes the same charging terminal compatibility as the body-pack transmitter. Both transmitters are paired and ready to use out of the box.
Wireless Manager Software & AES128 Encryption
Centralised management of the system — including multiple UHF, 2.4GHz and DECT wireless systems simultaneously — is provided by Audio-Technica's Wireless Manager software. Transmitter status, audio level, remaining battery time and other system information can be monitored from a single screen, with the ability to configure, monitor and save device settings as projects. AES128 encryption comes standard on all transmissions, and Syslog protocol compatibility provides integration with wider network management systems.
