New Zealand (May 23, 2023)—Virscient has launched LiveOnAir, a brand new know-how for wi-fi mics and IEMs, that the corporate claims permits ultra-low-latency audio over low-power wi-fi hyperlinks.

Latency has at all times been a major concern in dwell efficiency eventualities in the case of working with wi-fi gear; cumulative latency as sound works its manner by a system can lead to a disconnect between performer and efficiency. With that in thoughts, the corporate says LiveOnAir supplies audio over long- or short-range wi-fi hyperlinks with a latency of lower than 5 milliseconds from analog-to-analog. The system can help a spread of topologies, codecs, and RF choices.

For low-power digital microphone purposes, Virscient has a {hardware}/software program reference design based mostly on Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF5340 dual-core Bluetooth Low Energy SoC. Virscient’s LiveOnAir answer for nRF5340 permits OEMs to ship wi-fi audio options supporting ultra-low-latency transport of 24-bit / 48 kHz audio with a compact {hardware} BoM.

Orlando, FL (March 5, 2021) — Professional Wireless Systems (PWS) has launched its new Tour Series (TS) Helical Antenna for IEM, wireless mic and intercom usage, designed with a lower profile to make its presence less obtrusive in live event settings.

The TS Helical differs from the company’s standard helical versions (available in both the 460-900 and 900-1000 MHz frequency ranges) due to its size. All PWS helical units have circular polarization, created by a rigid helix to help provide consistent performance, but the helix on the TS is significantly shorter than the traditional version by almost 7 inches .

The all-new smoked, transparent materials are intended to help the TS blend in with staging and scenery. Nonetheless, it maintains the brand’s traditional helical design. According to PWS, the circular motion of the RF field emitted by a helical antenna distributes the signal through all possible polarizations, reducing the risk of drop-outs. The RF energy rotates through all 360 degrees of polarization, providing reception in the artist’s ears and in the wireless mics receiver. It can be used as either a transmitting antenna or a receiving antenna.
