Audio-Technica introduced the discharge of its new A-T LINK proprietary communication protocol for digital interconnection of suitable A-T Business Audio microphone and mixing options. Audio-Technica says A-T LINK transmits uncompressed multi-channel digital audio and management info by way of class cables with minimal latency.
A-T LINK is natively supported by Audio-Technica’s ATND1061LK beamforming ceiling array microphone, offering an answer for convention rooms, boardrooms and assembly areas massive and small. The ESM-R4180LK receiver in A-T’s Engineered Sound Wi-fi System additionally integrates with the A-T LINK protocol, providing easy, sensible and scalable high-quality audio. Digital audio supply indicators delivered by way of A-T LINK may be individually assigned to the enter channels of A-T 6- or 10-channel Digital SmartMixers. As well as, the ATDM-1012DAN mixer can bridge A-T LINK audio channels to a Dante community for interoperability with third-party units. A-T LINK gives “environment friendly system audio routing and management inside the ATDM Mixer Internet Distant.”
A key benefit of A-T LINK interconnectivity is its skill to energy A-T LINK microphone options with out the necessity for an influence cable, exterior energy provide or a PoE swap. The place obligatory, A-T LINK extenders can be found to increase the variety of downstream units that may be powered.
A-T LINK is just not an web protocol (AoIP), however it does function by way of available CAT5e or higher cables. The flexibleness and scalability (by way of daisy chaining) of A-T LINK make it very best for any A-T Business Audio set up, regardless of the scale or use case. And since A-T LINK is just not a community protocol, it supplies an inherently safe impartial knowledge chain.
