ATND971 Dante Enabled Microphone

The ATND971 is a Dante-enabled, wide-range condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern. It is designed for surface-mount applications such as high-quality sound reinforcement, conferencing, distance learning and other demanding sound pickup applications. The microphone can be configured using the dedicated Dante Mic Component processing object in Tesira software. The ATND971 is supported by Tesira SERVER & SERVER IO (with DAN-1 card) and TesiraFORTÉ Dante enabled models.

The microphone should be placed on a flat, unobstructed mounting surface, with the front of the microphone facing the sound source. The sound source should not be below, or higher than 60° above, the plane of the mounting surface. Full microphone specifications and manuals are available at audio-technica.com

When this microphone is used with Tesira software it will override local control, causing the audio to remain on and the red/green LED status indicator, low-cut filter and input gain level to be controlled remotely. In Remote mode the microphone’s user switch can be programmed to trigger functions on compatible Dante-enabled devices. When in remote mode the Remote LED is illuminated. For full routing capabilities the use of Audinate Dante Controller software is required. Please review the Dante Network Considerations section for more details.

Tesira supports both the ATND791 and ATND971a Dante-enabled microphones.
