The ATW-R3210 receiver features automatic frequency scanning that eliminates the need for searching for clear channels by automatically selecting the most appropriate frequency for the area in which the wireless is operating. 25kHz frequency spacing enables the system to easily find an open frequency in crowded RF environments, while pre-coordinated frequency scan groups simplify selection of usable frequencies in a multichannel wireless system. Once selected, frequencies can be synced with transmitters using the system's IR sync functionality. The system's squelch setting can be configured to automatically adjust to maximize range while minimizing potential interference. Advanced digital Tone Lock squelch provides enhanced rejection of interference.

In addition, the Tone Lock signal from the transmitter also conveys information on the transmitter's battery condition and mute status back to the receiver for display. The receiver's dual-mode front panel display can switch between the standard view, which provides continuous indication of RF signal strength, frequency, mute status, audio modulation level of the received signal and transmitter information and a performance view, which highlights key metering. Settings can be easily adjusted using the control dial and BACK button located on the receiver's front panel. Settings can also be locked to prevent them from being changed.

Operating on 12V DC, the receiver incorporates rear-panel connections for balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4' outputs, along with detachable BNC 1/4' wave antennas. Switchable 12V DC antenna power is available on the BNC-type connectors for powered antenna accessories. The receiver is half-width for a standard 1U 19' rack-mount and
