Audio-Technica is highlighting the recently released 3000 Series wireless in-ear monitor system at the 2024 NAMM Show at the Anaheim Convention Center at booth 15314.
With design elements modeled after A-T’s 3000 Series UHF wireless microphone systems, the 3000 Series IEM system has a rack-mount transmitter with front-panel controls and large OLED display, compact bodypack receiver and ATH-E40 professional in-ear monitor headphones. The bodypack receiver’s headphone amp and ATH-E40 headphone’s proprietary dual-phase push-pull drivers are designed to combine to provide clear, natural sound quality.
The 3000 Series wireless IEM offers wide-band UHF coverage, with 138 MHz of tuning range spanning 470 – 608 MHz in frequency band DF2. Its diversity antennas help ensure stable reception even in the most crowded RF environments. Additional features include pan/personal mix controls; a cue mode that allows an audio engineer to monitor several IEM channels from a single receiver; a 3000 Link mode that enables compatibility with 3000 Series wireless microphone components; and network monitoring and control via the Audio-Technica Wireless Manager software.
Both the transmitter and receiver include OLED screens for readout of key settings and alerts especially in low lighting situations. The bodypack receiver is stated to operate continuously for up to seven hours when powered by NiMH batteries and charged in the optional ATW-CHG3 or ATW-CHG3N charging stations – for compatibility and convenience these are the same chargers used by 3000 Series microphone systems’ UHF body-pack transmitters. The transmitter is equipped with balanced XLR inputs and loop output, plus network port.
“The system and feature set were developed based on market surveys and customer feedback gathered over a number of years,” states Gary Boss, Audio-Technica U.S. marketing director. “We can confidently say that the feature-rich 3000 Series Wireless In-Ear Monitor System continues to deliver Audio-Technica’s promise of making high-quality, dependable audio accessible to all.”
