4000 Series - Frequency-agile True Diversity UHF Wireless Systems




Audio-Technica's 4000 Series frequency-agile UHF body-pack and handheld wireless systems bring outstanding clarity and versatility to live performance, regional touring, fixed installations and more. At the heart of the 4000 Series is a rugged True Diversity half-rack receiver, the AEW-R4100, with two hundred selectable channels offered in each of two available UHF bands.



Receivers from both the 4000 and 5000 Series may be linked; they may be monitored by the 5000 Series system software. The included IntelliScan¢â feature automatically determines and sets the best available frequencies on all linked receivers.

Multiple system configurations are available, with handheld vocal microphone/transmitters and UniPak¢ç body-pack transmitters designed for use with lavalier, headworn and instrument microphones as well as electric guitars.


  • 200 selectable UHF channels per band and True Diversity reception for interference-resistant operation
  • Available in two frequency bands:
    541.500 - 566.375 MHz (TV Channels 25 - 30) and
    655.500 - 680.375 MHz (TV Channels 44 - 49)
  • IntelliScan¢â feature automatically finds and sets best available frequencies on all linked receivers
  • Advanced digital Tone Lock¢â squelch effectively blocks stray RF; the digitally encoded tone also communicates transmitter data for receiver display
  • Dual Compander circuitry processes high and low frequencies separately for unmatched audio quality
  • Link and coordinate multiple receiver channels
  • High-visibility white-on-blue LCD information display
  • Metal half-rack receiver chassis with mounting hardware
  • All transmitters offer rugged, ergonomic metal bodies, programmable features, soft-touch controls, and 10 mW/35 mW switchable RF power
  • All components store up to five preset configurations, with customized "names" if desired
