Sabine Ships 2.4 GHz Wireless Handheld Microphone Systems

Jan 22, 2004

Sabine is now shipping its 2.4 GHz True Mobility Wireless Microphone Systems. The SWM7000 Series incorporates Sabine's patent-pending Smart Spectrum technology , a new RF technology that allows up to 70 simultaneous wireless systems to operate with maximum fidelity.

SWM7000 receivers are available in one- and two-receiver-channel models and come with Sabine's built-in Targeted Input Processing that includes the FBX Feedback Exterminator, a compressor/limiter, an adaptive de-esser and parametric filters.

New on-board digital signal processing for the 2.4 GHz system includes Sabine's Mic SuperModeling. A touch of the front panel dial brings up the sound of several well-known dynamic or condenser mic elements. Sabine's standard capsule on the SWM7000 series is an Audix OM-3, with the Audix OM-5 available as an option.

In addition to the added processing, the SWM7000 series allows users to save and recall up to 10 presets per channel on the receiver. All front panel information is saved in each preset, so custom settings can be retrieved for fast setups, or even on-the-fly changes during the program.

Long-life rechargeable NiMH batteries power the SWM7000 transmitters and each transmitter has a built-in charger jack. Furthermore, the convenient handheld microphone clip doubles as a charger stand -- whenever a handheld mic is in the clip, the battery is recharging.

Programmable LCDs for each channel provide all the RF and DSP status indicators, and employ Sabine's Tweek-n-Peek feature. Whenever a front panel knob is touched, the LCD indicates its precise value, and a bar-graph display indicates the relative range of each selected setting. Front-panel lockout is easily implemented for security installations.

Series 7000 systems are currently available with handheld microphones, and soon will be available with lavalier or headworn microphones. All transmitters are aluminum and built for heavy-duty applications, with controls hidden behind security covers. The on/off switch on both transmitters is programmable, and the antenna on the beltpack transmitter is hard rubber and integral to the case, making it almost impossible to break. Switchcraft TA4F connectors allow users to choose other lavalier and headset mics for use with the 7000 Series. Accessories include a rack-mount antenna distribution amplifier for up to six receivers and an attractive, low-profile extension antenna well suited for unobtrusive wall mounting.
