"The Scoop on ATA Products"

ATA Audio Mix 2000 features low noise at –130 db, input headroom of 46 db, a compressor limiter, selectable high pass filter, four inputs and wide variable brightness LED meters.

Alvin Sookoo, operations manager for ATA said, "It’s a small and powerful mixer that offers all of these features and will run for nearly three hours on eight AA batteries."

Also, the Scoop Reporter II, combining POTS and ISDN connections in one box, allows remote broadcasting from just about anywhere.

POTS connections use the Scoop’s Code Excited Linear Prediction algorithm for audio bandwidths of up to 8.4 khz with a 28.8 kbps connection. ISDN support includes G.711, G.722, MPEG Layer II and J.52.

The Scoop Reporter II is PC programmable and comes with a three-channel mixer.

Wrapping up ATA Audio’s new offerings is the HIFI Scoop 3. This ISDN codec handles a range of compression algorighms including low dely ADPCM and the ITU-T J52-compliant algorithm, which can detect different algorithms and adjust to make the connection.
