AUDIO-TECHNICA’S AT8539 POWER MODULE PROVIDES
AUDIO AND VIDEO PROFESSIONALS ADDED FLEXIBILITY IN THE FIELD
123rd AES CONVENTION, NEW YORK, NY, October 5, 2007
— Audio-Technica has introduced its AT8539 power module which
allows any Audio-Technica “cW” Wireless Essentials®
microphone with 4-pin locking connector to be used in a wired configuration.
Designed to offer audio and video production professionals even greater
versatility, the AT8539 permits switching from wireless to wired audio
acquisition using the same microphone, eliminating the need to carry
two separate mics (wired and wireless) into the field. It also allows
production facilities to standardize on microphones for studio (wired)
and field (wireless) use.
“I look at the AT8539 power module as an insurance
policy for the audio or video production professional who instantly
needs to convert their wireless mic to a hard-wired configuration,”
stated Steve Savanyu, Audio-Technica Marketing Manager. “The AT8539
provides a back-up plan for the engineer faced with a highly congested
RF environment, a set of depleted batteries, or other issues. This is
a cost-effective solution that makes a great tool for a field production
kit.”
The Audio-Technica AT8539 power module is now available
at a U.S. MSRP of $129.00.

**“White space” refers to the portions of
the TV broadcast frequency spectrum that will be available after the
federally mandated February, 2009 transition to digital TV. With the
transition, a variety of unlicensed consumer devices, as well as proposed
wireless broadband services, may be allowed to operate in these white
space areas. Should this happen, wireless products used in live audio
production, newsrooms, sporting events, boardrooms and other applications
may not be able to operate without interference. Digital TV signals
in some areas might also be affected by white space interference. Legislation
is currently pending.
