The Audio-Technica 1800 Wireless Microphone System is a cost-effective, dual wireless portable system that provides both bodypack and plug-in transmitters.
The 1800 Series wireless microphone system delivers the flexibility of a dual wireless system in a single compact and rugged, camera-mounted receiver. This system includes the ATW-R1820 dual receiver, ATW-T1802 plug-in transmitter, ATW-T1801 bodypack transmitter, and a lavalier microphone. Other configurations are also available.
The ATW-R1820 dual receiver is designed with 2 internal, True Diversity UHF receivers with an internal Antenna/Splitter amplifier. Dual balanced outputs enable incoming signal to be mixed, or independently assigned to each output. Independent audio level controls provide flexible audio mixing and monitoring possibilities. The compact ATW-R1820 is powered with 6 AA batteries, one of the internal receivers may be turned off to preserve battery life.
The ATW-T1801 bodypack transmitters are compact and rugged with 4-pin HRS connectors. The input is switchable between mic and line signal. Selectable Hi/Lo RF output power enhances range when needed and a 2 color power/mute LED indicates transmitter status. The transmitter is powered with 2 AA batteries for up to 9 hours.
The ATW-T1802 plug-in transmitters feature a locking XLR connector for adapting dynamic and condenser microphones. 9-Volt phantom power is provided for condenser microphones. Selectable Hi/Lo RF output power enhances range when needed and a 2 color power/mute LED indicates transmitter status. The transmitter is powered with 2 AA batteries for up to 9 hours.
Additional features of the 1800 series include 996 Auto-Scanning frequencies, simultaneous operation of up to 10 systems, back-lit LCD, soft-touch buttons and metal components.
