System Components

Handheld Microphone & Bodypack Transmitters

  • Handheld Transmitter: Equipped with a dynamic hypercardioid mic capsule, ideal for focused sound capture while reducing background noise and feedback from stage monitors.
  • Bodypack Transmitter: Compact and lightweight with a Hirose 4-pin cW-style connector, compatible with lavalier or headset microphones for hands-free operation.
  • Battery Life: The handheld transmitter offers up to 18 hours on alkaline AA batteries, and the bodypack provides up to 15 hours. Both transmitters feature power switches that double as mute controls, which can be locked to avoid accidental muting.

Versatile 4-Channel Receiver

  • Two Operational Modes:

    • Standard mode supports 2 channels with a latency of 2.8ms.
    • High-Density (HD) mode supports up to 4 channels with a latency of 6.7ms.
  • OLED Screen: Provides visual feedback for RF signal strength, gain levels, battery life, and System ID, allowing easy monitoring.

  • Modular Receiver Unit: The receiver module can be detached and mounted up to 328' away via Ethernet cable, offering flexible positioning for optimal reception. The receiver includes balanced XLR outputs and can be mounted on a wall or rack for permanent installation.

  • Expandable Chassis: Multiple chassis can be linked using RJ12 cables, allowing for up to 20 wireless microphones to be used simultaneously, with automatic coordination to prevent dropouts.


Clear Digital Audio and Easy Setup

Digital Audio Quality

The System 20 PRO provides pristine 24-bit/48 kHz digital audio with none of the compression artifacts typically found in analog systems, ensuring clear, professional-quality sound.

Automatic Frequency Selection

The system scans for available frequencies and automatically pairs the transmitter and receiver, eliminating the need for manual setup. During operation, it continuously monitors the 2.4 GHz band and switches to a clean frequency if interference is detected.

Pairing Multiple Transmitters

Each receiver channel can pair with up to four transmitters, allowing quick transitions between different microphones. This is especially useful when multiple speakers or performers alternate during events.

Remote Control with Wireless Manager Software

With the Wireless Manager software (compatible with Windows and macOS), users can monitor and configure system settings in real time. The software also allows for advanced audio adjustments, such as mix outputs, EQ settings, and compression parameters.


Triple Diversity Reception for Maximum Signal Integrity

  • Space Diversity: The receiver compares signals from two antennas and chooses the strongest.
  • Time Diversity: The system sends the audio signal in two separate time slots and compares them for the best quality.
  • Frequency Diversity: The system sends the signal on two different frequencies simultaneously and selects the cleanest one.

These advanced reception methods ensure a reliable connection, even in challenging RF environments, minimizing dropouts and interference.


2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Band

The System 20 PRO operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, away from the interference caused by TV and radio channels, ensuring uninterrupted wireless audio transmission.


Additional System Functionality

Audio-Technica offers a range of accessories to enhance the versatility of the System 20 PRO:

  • Presenters: Choose from discreet lavalier microphones like the MT830cW or AT831cW, or the PRO-92cW earset mic for clear spoken word applications.
  • Video Conferencing: The ATW-T1406 boundary mic offers minimal visual presence, making it ideal for conference tables.
  • Conferences: The ATW-T1407 base transmitter can be paired with a gooseneck mic, perfect for boardrooms or other seated environments.
  • Musicians: The AT-GcW guitar cable lets performers connect their bodypack transmitter to a guitar or bass.
