Audio-Technica releases new A-T LINK communication protocol

Audio-Technica Corporation is a Japanese firm that designs and manufactures skilled microphones, headphones, turntables, phonographic magnetic cartridges, and different audio tools.

Audio-Technica introduces A-T LINK, a proprietary communication protocol for digital interconnection of appropriate A-T Commercial Audio microphone and mixing options. It transmits uncompressed multi-channel digital audio and management data by way of class cables with minimal latency. A-T LINK is natively supported by varied Audio-Technica merchandise, together with microphones and mixers, providing environment friendly system audio routing and management.

A-T LINK enhances audio connectivity and management in business audio installations, corresponding to convention rooms and assembly areas, by offering a seamless and scalable answer. Its skill to transmit digital audio and management data over normal class cables simplifies set up and operation, whereas additionally providing inherent safety and energy supply capabilities.

Audio-Technica, a number one innovator in transducer expertise for over 60 years, proclaims the discharge of its new A-T LINK proprietary communication protocol for digital interconnection of appropriate A-T Commercial Audio microphone and mixing options. A-T LINK transmits uncompressed multi-channel digital audio and management data 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 excellent answer for convention rooms, boardrooms, and assembly areas massive and small. The ESM-R4180LK receiver in A-T’s award-winning Engineered Sound Wireless System additionally seamlessly 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 SensibleMixers®. In addition, 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 Web Remote.

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. Where essential, A-T LINK extenders can be found to increase the variety of downstream units that may be powered.

A-T LINK will not be an web protocol (AoIP), however it does function by way of available CAT 5e or higher cables. The flexibility and scalability (by way of daisy-chaining) of A-T LINK make it very best for any A-T Commercial Audio set up, irrespective of the scale or use case. And as a result of A-T LINK will not be a community protocol, it supplies an inherently safe unbiased knowledge chain.
