WIRELESS INNOVATORS
of these markets have specifi c needs and I am sure that units will be tailored to fi t.” Underlining its
wireless
credentials in another domain,
Sennheiser is open to customer feedback for the LSP 500 PRO, which marks its fi rst foray into “the new wireless”
Sennheiser chose ISE 2014 as the platform for the launch of its ADN-W (Audio Distribution
Network Wireless) digital conference system, which uses both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz range for transmission. A hybrid solution that can be combined with wired components of the existing ADN system, ADN-W can accommodate some hefty deployments, with a maximum of 150 wireless discussion units able to be used simultaneously.
Whether the motivation is a desire to offer an alternative to licensed operation, or a need to extract the cable run problem from the equation of ever-more aesthetically sensitive applications, plenty of other manufacturers are working on new wireless systems. Vieta has won considerable plaudits for its SoLine SoCube wireless loudspeakers for speech and background music – the product line, creative inside and outside of Spain last decade – is currently being revamped. Bose Professional has introduced a number of systems that could be used for domestic and small offi ce applications, including the SoundTouch music system that utilises an existing home or offi ce Wi-Fi network. “Once connected [to the network] SoundTouch systems offer access to Internet radio and
a personal music library, with music streamed at the touch of one of six preset buttons,” explains Sue Harrison, business development manager at Bose Professional Systems Division. “Several systems – from small and portable speakers to home cinema systems – can work together to create a multi- room listening experience, playing the same music everywhere or different music in different rooms.”
With cost issues obliging systems to be easy and
(relatively) hassle-free to deploy, and pressure on spectrum only heading in one direction, the need for other manufacturers o take a fresh – and frankly more cost-effective – look at wireless audio is bound to intensify in the short- to mid-term future.
