STOW, OH— Audio-Technica, a leading innovator in transducer technology for over 50 years, offers its new ATND8677 Microphone Desk Stand with Dante Network Output. The ATND8677 Microphone Desk Stand fits gooseneck microphones with standard XLRM-type outputs, offering installers previously unavailable simplicity in adding gooseneck microphones to Dante audio networks. The new ATND8677 joins the ATND971 Network Boundary Microphone, launched earlier in the year – the world’s first two such products to offer Dante network functionality in this manner.
Removing the need for a separate standalone Dante audio interface, while adding a useful integrated switch with indicator functionality, the ATND8677 connects directly to the audio network via standard RJ-45 connector and structured cabling, allowing for flexibility in installation and quick re-locations.
Audio-Technica has been working closely with industry leading DSP manufacturers such as Biamp and Symetrix to ensure complete GPIO-Over Dante Enabled Control software integration for simple, flexible operation without the need for analog audio and control cabling.
The sturdy metal base features a 3-pin XLRF-type in and Dante network output, a capacitive switch with a green/red LED light switch surround, switchable gain (+30dB/+40dB/+50dB), phantom power and selectable toggle/momentary switch operation. Features UniGuard RFI-shielding technology and UniSteep low-cut filter.
Now with two groundbreaking network microphone products launched during 2014, Audio-Technica is demonstrating its commitment to both the network audio segment in general and the Dante communications protocol.
The ATND8677 will be available November 2014 with a U.S. MSRP of $598.00.
