Audio Technica ATND971A Network Boundary Microphone

Product Description

The AUDIO TECHNICA ATND971A is a network boundary microphone designed for professional audio capture in conference, boardroom, and large-venue installation environments. A boundary microphone sits flush against a flat surface such as a table or wall, using the reflective plane to reinforce pickup and reduce phase interference. The ATND971A connects over a network infrastructure, allowing audio signal transmission and device management to be handled over standard network cabling rather than dedicated analog runs. This type of unit is typically installed by professional AV integrators and systems technicians.

The ATND971A is suited for permanent installation in conference rooms, council chambers, courtrooms, and similar spaces where a low-profile microphone with centralized network control is preferred. Its boundary design minimizes visual footprint on meeting surfaces while maintaining consistent pickup for speech intelligibility. Network-based deployment simplifies multi-microphone installations by reducing dedicated analog cabling runs and enabling centralized system management.

Key Features

• Network-enabled connectivity for streamlined AV system integration and centralized device management
• Boundary microphone design uses surface reflection to improve pickup consistency and reduce phase cancellation
• Low-profile form factor suited for table, podium, or wall-surface installation
• Designed for permanent installation in professional conferencing and large-venue environments

Compatibility

Designed as a network boundary microphone for professional AV and conferencing installations. Consult system documentation for specific network infrastructure and software compatibility requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed or certified AV systems integrators. Ensure the network switch and cabling meet the requirements specified in the ATND971A installation documentation before mounting. Power down or disconnect the network port before making or changing physical connections. Follow all applicable local AV and low-voltage wiring codes during installation.
