New York, NY (June 1, 2022)—Rolling out just in time for the NAMM Show is the new 3000 Series Wireless In-Ear Monitor System from Audio-Technica. Intended for use by musicians, and in house-of worship applications and live performance venues, the ATW-3255 was designed to deliver professional sound, dependable RF performance and durability at an affordable price point.
Operating in UHF Band with a tuning bandwidth of 138 MHz (470.125 to 607.875 MHz), the ATW-3255 includes a rackmount transmitter with front-panel controls and OLED display, a body-pack receiver with an efficient headphone amp, and ATH-E40 IEM earpieces.
The ATW-R3250 receiver can be operated in stereo or mono with pan/personal mix controls, and features antenna diversity for consistent RF performance. The pack features a 3.5mm TRS headphone output with 40 mW amplifier (12 Ω), volume control, two-band EQ, limiter, and an SMA antenna connector. A cue mode allows an engineer to monitor several IEM channels from a single receiver pack.
