At InfoComm 2026, Audio-Technica introduced the D50 Digital UHF Wireless System, a new platform designed for high-density RF environments across corporate AV, educational, government, house of worship, theater and other live sound applications.
Audio-Technica says the D50 digital UHF wireless system draws on the company’s decades of digital wireless expertise, making it purpose-built to meet the real-world needs of integrators and users.
What are the Features of the D50 Digital UHF Wireless System?
According to the company, the D50 Digital UHF Wireless System delivers enhanced RF stability, best-in-class battery life and build quality, efficient rack-space utilization (supporting up to eight channels of Dante audio networking in a single rack space), internal DSP capabilities, uncompromising high-fidelity audio and scalable system expansion — bringing new value to today’s increasingly digital UHF landscape. The system is also TAA-compliant for U.S. government integrations.
Audio-Technica states that the D50 features up to 244 MHz of tuning bandwidth (138 MHz in the U.S.), enabling flexible channel planning in complex RF conditions. Switchable antenna combining diversity and maximal ratio combining (MRC) true diversity modes also improve signal reliability, while the high-density mode allows up to 47 simultaneous frequencies within a single 6 MHz TV channel.
The manufacturer remarks that a compact half-rack receiver is available in either a two-channel (Audio-Technica Link) or four-channel (Dante-enabled) version, supporting 96 kHz audio, redundancy and PoE+ power.
Handheld, bodypack and gooseneck base transmitters deliver extended battery life and build quality, says Audio-Technica. Handheld transmitters also provide the company’s audio superiority with interchangeable Artist Elite capsule options.
According to Audio-Technica, additional features include onboard spectrum analysis, AES256 encryption, integrated DSP and Wireless Manager software for monitoring and control, delivering a robust, future-ready wireless solution.
“Our D50 was purpose-built for integrators from extensive market insight and customer feedback working in demanding RF environments,” says Kurt Van Scoy, Audio-Technica U.S. vice president of products, business alliances, and marketing. “It enables confident deployment with secure, flexible channel planning — even in the most complex and congested conditions.”
