ATND971

Cardioid Condenser Boundary Microphone
with Dante™ Network Output

A true audio/IT convergence, the ATND971 boundary mic not only
delivers the superior audio you would expect from Audio-Technica,
with outstanding speech intelligibility and transparent sound
quality, but it also transmits control data to communicate across a
network of Dante-enabled devices. The integrated programmable
user switch allows users to trigger a video camera’s pan/tilt, recall
lighting presets or control anything else on the network at the push
of a button. And with a red/green LED the microphone can visually
convey mute status, incoming phone calls or other creative visual
effects utilizing a control system. The microphone plugs into the
network via Ethernet cable – easy to install and operate.

• A Digital Ethernet mic with Dante capabilities –
an Audio-Technica innovation

• Connects directly to network via Ethernet cable –
no need for expensive audio cable or soldering

• Integrated switch allows mic to communicate with – and
control – other Dante-enabled devices within a network

• Local or remote control of mic gain, hi-pass and LED indicators

• Red/green LED indicator

• UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology; UniSteep® lter

• Powered by network PoE

• Scalable across Dante’s 512 bidirectional audio channels

frequency response: 30–20,000 Hz

ATND8677

Microphone Desk Stand
with Dante™ Network Output

Equipped with the same Dante user switch capabilities as the
ATND971 boundary mic, the ATND8677 desk stand allows Dante
technology to be used with any phantom-powered condenser goose­neck microphone with a 3-pin XLRM-type output. The sturdy metal
base features a 3-pin XLRF-type input and Dante network output,
enabling direct connection to the network via Ethernet cable. The
desk stand’s capacitive-type user switch with integral red/green LED
status indicator permits advanced local and remote control. In Local
mode, the switch mutes and unmutes the microphone; in Remote
mode, the switch triggers functions on compatible Dante-enabled
devices, such as a video camera’s pan/tilt or a room’s lighting preset.

• Connects directly to network via Ethernet cable –
no need for expensive audio cable or soldering

• Integrated user switch controls talk/mute in Local mode
and triggers Dante-enabled devices in Remote mode

• 3-pin XLRF-type in for quick mounting of gooseneck mic

• Red/green LED indicator

• Local or remote control of mic gain, low-cut lter,
LED indicator and 12V phantom power

• Powered by network PoE

• Scalable across Dante’s 512 bidirectional audio channels

• UniSteep

®

lter provides a steep low-frequency attenuation

to improve sound pickup without affecting voice quality

• Heavy die-cast case and non-slip silicone foam bottom pads
minimize coupling of surface vibration to the microphone
