In addition, 72 M60X<\/a> headphones<\/strong> and ATH-E50<\/a> in-ear headphones<\/strong> allow MotoGP<\/strong> teams to listen to the live audio signal.<\/strong>
\nThe need was to improve the audio quality of the Grand Prix filming, to align it with the high standard of video footage.

\nAudio-Technica<\/strong><\/a> solutions have been used since the first European race of the 2019 MotoGP<\/strong> season held in Jerez, Spain,<\/strong> in May.<\/strong> Immediate, in particular, was the success of the microphones (specially designed for use in sports broadcasts) BP28<\/strong><\/a> and BP28L<\/strong><\/a> with large diaphragm.
\nDaniel Lavi\u00f1a of Dorna Sports<\/a><\/strong>, technical director of the media, said: \u201cWe immediately noticed a great change in the quality of the audio track when the Audio-Technica<\/strong><\/a> microphones were installed. With their wide frequency response and high SPL threshold, they proved to be very suitable for the sound of competitions and now we can have a high quality audio continuity between one camera and another \u201d.
