SABINE
2.4 GHZ WIRELESS & GRAPHI-Q SWEEP THE ICE AT HARVARD |
|||
| ALACHUA, FL — Although
Harvard's Alexander H. Bright Hockey Center has undergone many improvements
during its 47 years as home ice for the Crimson, the recent improvements
performed by Audio Associates (Orleans, MA) may prove the best sounding. Audio Associates designed and installed a distributive sound system incorporating three channels of Sabine Graphi-Q and the new SWM7000 2.4 GHz wireless microphone. "The hockey rink was an acoustic challenge," recalls Skip Welch, Project Manager for Audio Associates. "It was built back in the 50's with not much consideration for acoustics." One two-channel GRQ3102 and a single-channel GRQ3101 handle the three EQ zones: side-seating areas, end-seating areas, and the ice itself. "The Graphi-Q is extremely accurate — and having Sabine's FBX Feedback Exterminator, compression and delay built into one rack space is a tremendous advantage," proclaims Welch. |

| The SWM7000 2.4
GHz Smart Spectrum® handheld wireless microphone is used for announcements
and the performance of the national anthem. "We tried the SWM7000 just after it started shipping and absolutely loved all the features — including the ability to lock out access to front-panel control of those features," states Welch. "Sabine's mic SuperModeling™ is fantastic," he continues. "It's very easy to dial in the best sounding [virtual] capsule for a vocalist's specific needs." Sabine's 2.4 GHz receiver has built-in feedback control, compressor/limiter and digital microphone modeling. SWM7000 series wireless microphone systems are available in one- or two-channel models with a choice of Audix OM3 or OM5 capsules for the handheld transmitter, or lavalier, headworn or instrument pickup input for the beltpack transmitter. "The handheld has a nice, professional feel to it - and it sounds great," Welch attests. "The customer is extremely pleased with it." "Operating at 2.4 GHz will be a tremendous help for us and our customers," says Welch. "We go into a lot of places that are not RF friendly and the SWM7000 is going to make life a lot easier." SWM7000 systems operate on the globally accepted and license-free 2.4 GHz band and are clear of the new DTV frequencies. The SWM7000 can be controlled via front panel or powerful networking software, and all 70 available RF channels can be used simultaneously. Furthermore, transmitters come with NiMH rechargeable batteries and plug in just like a cell phone. Sabine digital signal processing (DSP) equipment is not new to Harvard or Audio Associates. "We started using Sabine equipment about three years ago," comments Welch, "and since then, we have placed Sabine DSP into 99.9% of our installations." Sabine's Graphi-Q is a multifunction digital signal processor (DSP) and comes in one or two channel models. Graphi-Qs incorporate a graphic EQ, parametric EQ, automatic feedback control, compressor/limiter and digital delay into a one- or two-U space. Control of the Graphi-Q is through front panel analog controls or powerful remote control for PC. Sabine SWM7000 2.4 GHz microphone systems are also in place at Orlando's SeaWorld Adventure Park and Yale University; they are on tour with Warner Bros. recording artists Trapt, world-renowned hip-hop group Black Eyed Peas (A&M/Interscope) and Ozzfest-touring band Endo. |
