Audio-Technica Introduces ES964 Boundary Array Microphone

As an innovator in transducer technology, Audio-Technica already offers popular boundary microphones that are used from stage performance to conferencing rooms. Now the company introduced the new ES964 boundary array microphone, the latest addition to the brand's line of Engineered Sound solutions. This table-top model provides an easy-to-deploy audio solution for small-group conference environments and was designed for optimal directionality in combination with mixers and DSP systems.

New trends in telepresence, remote workflows, and online education drives demand for high performance USB microphones, cameras, and conversion tools. Marshall Electronics Inc., a manufacturer of professional audio and video products for UC&C, professional AV, and broadcast markets, has experienced a significant spike in demand for products that address web conferencing and online communications. MXL Microphones, the professional audio division of Marshall, is scaling production and support to meet increased demand.

Audio-Technica confirmed it is now shipping new products for the conferencing market. Renewing its existing series, the new UniPoint Boundary Microphones now add touch-sensitive switches and two-state RGB LED status indicators, among other new features. Multiple variations of the ES925 gooseneck microphone are also now available, with three different polar patterns, four different power module options and six gooseneck lengths. Finally, Audio-Technica is now shipping the new ATUC-IR Hybrid Infrared Discussion System.
