Audio-Technica D50: More Wireless Channels, Less Rack Space | InfoComm 2026

At InfoComm 2026, NCS spoke with Mark Donovan, CTS-D, CTS-I, Director of Commercial Applications at Audio-Technica, for a closer look at the new D50 Digital UHF Wireless System. The D50 is designed to help organizations support more wireless microphones while using less equipment and rack space. For conference rooms, classrooms, training spaces, council chambers, performance venues, and other commercial environments, that can mean a cleaner installation, greater system capacity, and more flexibility as technology needs grow. In this interview, Mark walks through several key features of the D50, including: • Four wireless channels per half-rack receiver • Up to 16 channels within two rack spaces • Standard and High-Density operating modes • Up to 47 channels within a 6 MHz TV channel in High-Density Mode • Dante connectivity and PoE+ power • Handheld, body-pack, and desk stand transmitters • Rechargeable, field-replaceable batteries • Onboard spectrum analysis and network-based system management By combining high wireless channel density with a compact footprint and network-based capabilities, the D50 can help organizations accommodate more users, reduce equipment requirements, and create AV systems that are easier to expand as spaces and communication needs evolve.
