Audio-Technica ESW-R4180DANE Engineered Sound Wireless 8-Channel Dante Receiver – DECT Conference Audio System

The Audio-Technica ESW-R4180DANE is a professional Engineered Sound Wireless (ESW) 8-channel DECT wireless receiver with Dante™ network audio output, designed specifically for conferencing, corporate AV systems, hybrid meetings, education facilities, and large-scale installed audio environments. It provides a simple, scalable, and high-channel-capacity wireless solution with advanced network integration.

This system uses DECT-based digital wireless technology (1.9 GHz band), which eliminates traditional RF frequency coordination issues found in UHF systems. It is designed for plug-and-play operation, making it highly suitable for meeting rooms and enterprise environments where reliability and simplicity are critical.

The ESW-R4180DANE supports up to 8 simultaneous wireless channels per receiver, and multiple receivers can be networked together to scale up to very high channel counts (up to 96–192 channels depending on configuration and mode).

A key feature of this model is its Dante™ audio output, allowing seamless integration into modern IP-based audio networks over Ethernet, making it ideal for digital conferencing and AV-over-IP installations.

The receiver is designed for simple installation using PoE (Power over Ethernet), requiring only a single Cat5e cable for both power and audio/network communication.
