Following nearly three seasons of extensive prototype testing of Audio-Technica’s 8.0 Microphone Concept at MotoGP™, the Grand Prix motorcycle racing Championship, commercial rights holder Dorna Sports S.L. have moved to make the 8.0 microphone a core audio component of its future programme broadcasting which includes ambitious plans towards remote production. Audio-Technica 8.0 Microphones are to be located at the podium, parc fermé, pit lane and key positions around the racetrack. Audio-Technica’s 8.0 Microphone Concept is designed to be lightweight and small enough not just for discreet placement in a field of play, but each of the eight 12mm elements can be removed from the core mount and packed away quickly in a compact case, making for fast deployment by a single operator. As well as sports broadcasting, Audio-Technica see several applications for their new microphone design including concert halls and outdoor festivals. Audio-Technica are well placed to deliver the tools required at the beginning of that immersive signal chain.”.
