Audio-Technica, a company with expertise in transducer technology, has strengthened its reputation as a trusted provider of broadcast solutions through its partnership with the MotoAmerica, North America’s premier motorcycle road racing series. As the Official Broadcast Partner of MotoAmerica, Audio-Technica supplies industry-leading microphones and headphones used to capture the excitement of on-track action, rider interviews, and behind-the-scenes moments - even in the most challenging weather conditions.
The MotoAmerica Championship spans multiple locations across the U.S., subjecting Audio-Technica’s equipment to extreme environmental factors, including rain, heat and dust. Despite these challenges, the brand’s broadcast products have demonstrated exceptional durability and reliability.
Gary Dixon, Audio-Technica U.S. Director of Broadcast Business Development, highlights the resilience of their equipment: “These events push the limits of both riders and machines. The same applies to our production equipment, which faces intense sound levels, variable conditions, and frequent setups and teardowns across long distances. Our products are built to withstand these rigorous demands.” MotoAmerica’s Senior Audio Engineer, Jeromy “Twig” Hogue, praises the performance of Audio-Technica’s microphones: “Not only are we hearing sounds in ways we never have before, but in live TV, we can’t afford equipment failures. Audio-Technica’s broadcast products consistently deliver outstanding audio quality, regardless of extreme weather conditions.”
Through this collaboration, Audio-Technica has not only enhanced but also revolutionized the audio experience for MotoAmerica fans. From the deafening roar of Superbikes to real-time commentary, every sound is captured with precision and clarity, immersing audiences in the high-stakes world of motorcycle racing, while demonstrating how Audio-Technica’s commitment to excellence extends beyond studio environments.
