Stow, OH — Audio-Technica recently hosted a demo event at its SoHo-based Technica House in New York City, offering attendees an in-depth look at its approach to high-channel-count DECT-based wireless microphone systems. The company’s Engineered Sound Wireless platform demonstrated operation of up to 60 simultaneous channels in one of the world’s most challenging RF environments.
The event brought together integrators, consultants and end users for a hands-on exploration of wireless performance in dense urban conditions. The session addressed long-standing concerns about DECT reliability in cities like New York, where RF congestion from 5G, LTE and other sources can impact system performance.
A key highlight was a live deployment of 60 wireless microphone channels operating in close proximity without dropouts. Presenters outlined challenges such as elevated noise floors, spectrum crowding and interference, while explaining how Audio-Technica’s system design enables stable performance.
“The goal of this event was to take the mystery out of wireless performance in complex RF environments and show what is possible with the right approach to system design,” said Mark Donovan, Audio-Technica U.S. Director of Commercial Applications.
The program also included a technical overview of DECT architecture, along with practical deployment strategies such as scalability, Dante® integration and RF analysis tools, reinforcing Audio-Technica’s commitment to real-world wireless solutions.
