Overview

4000 Series

4000 Series Wireless Systems have been discontinued. Recommended alternatives include the 3000 Series Fourth Generation Wireless or the 5000 Series Third Generation Wireless. Audio-Technica’s upgraded 4000 Series frequency-agile UHF body-pack and handheld wireless systems bring outstanding clarity and versatility to live performance, regional touring, fixed installations and more. At the heart of the 4000 Series is a rugged True Diversity half-rack receiver, the AEW-R4100, with 996 selectable channels offered in each UHF band. Receivers from both the 4000 and 5000 Series may be linked; they may be monitored by the 5000 Series system software. The included IntelliScan™ feature automatically determines and sets the best available frequencies on all linked receivers. Multiple system configurations are available, with handheld vocal microphone/transmitters and cW-style body-pack transmitters designed for use with lavalier, headworn and instrument microphones as well as electric guitars.

Features

  • 996 selectable UHF channels per band and True Diversity reception for interference-resistant operation
  • IntelliScan™ feature automatically finds and sets best available frequencies on all linked receivers
  • Advanced digital Tone Lock™ squelch effectively blocks stray RF; the digitally encoded tone also communicates transmitter data for receiver display
  • Dual Compander circuitry processes high and low frequencies separately for unmatched audio quality
  • Link and coordinate multiple receiver channels
  • High-visibility white-on-blue LCD information display
  • Metal half-rack receiver chassis with mounting hardware
  • All transmitters offer rugged, ergonomic metal bodies, programmable features, soft-touch controls, and 10 mW/35 mW switchable RF power
  • Backlit LCD displays on transmitters
  • Locking battery door on UniPak body-pack transmitter
  • All components store up to five preset configurations, with customized "names" if desired

CONSUMER ALERT Most users do not need a license to operate this wireless microphone system. Nevertheless, operating this microphone system without a license is subject to certain restrictions: the system may not cause harmful interference; it must operate at a low power level (not in excess of 50 milliwatts); and it has no protection from interference received from any other device. Purchasers should also be aware that the FCC is currently evaluating use of wireless microphone systems, and these rules are subject to change. For more information, call the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC) or visit the FCC’s wireless microphone website at www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones.
