Audio Technica ATND8677A Microphone Desk Stand Dante

Product Description

The AUDIO TECHNICA ATND8677A is a wired desktop microphone stand with integrated Dante network audio capability. Dante is an IP-based audio networking protocol that transmits high-quality digital audio over standard Ethernet infrastructure. This unit is designed for fixed desk installations in conference rooms, boardrooms, and similar professional audio environments. Licensed audio-visual integrators and commercial AV technicians are the primary installers. The combination of a physical desk stand form factor with onboard Dante connectivity eliminates the need for separate analog mic preamp stages in networked audio system designs.

The ATND8677A is suited for permanent or semi-permanent desktop installations where networked audio distribution is required. Typical deployments include corporate conference rooms, government council chambers, university lecture halls, and broadcast facilities that run Dante-enabled digital audio systems. The unit ships as a single piece (sold individually) and falls within the desktop wired microphone category.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed audio-visual integrators or commercial AV technicians familiar with Dante network audio configuration. The unit connects via Ethernet to a Dante-capable network switch or audio processor. Power down or disconnect the network audio system before making or changing physical connections. Dante network configuration, including device discovery and routing, is managed through Audinate Dante Controller software and must be completed after physical installation.
