Audio Technica ATW-1422 Wireless Digital Dual Handheld Microphone System

The ATW-1422 puts two handheld microphones on a four-channel receiver. It includes the ATW-R1440 receiver and two ATW-T1402 handheld transmitters with hypercardioid dynamic capsules, a pattern that rejects side and rear sound for better gain before feedback on loud stages and in reflective rooms.

Operation is plug-and-play at 24-bit/48 kHz in the 2.4 GHz range. Standard mode supports 10 channels at 2.8 ms latency; HD mode supports 20 channels at 6.7 ms. Two receiver channels stay free for body-pack or boundary transmitters as the setup grows.

The half-rack chassis includes a short and long rack ear, and two long ears combine as a joining plate to hold two chassis in one rack space. Receiver units can also mount remotely up to 328 feet away over Ethernet, and up to five chassis link together.

Each handheld runs about 18 hours on AA alkalines or 35 hours on lithium, with charging terminals for ATW-CHG3 and ATW-CHG3N docks. OLED screens show settings and alerts on both ends, auto-lock prevents accidental changes, and AES128 encryption protects the audio. Wireless Manager software supports centralized configuration, monitoring, and saved project settings. Mic holders and thread adapters are included.
