Commenting on the sale, which makes his organization the first in the region to offer the Speechline Digital Wireless for rental, James Ghamlouch, head of audio at 3db said, "We've found that the system's clear focus and USP of speech intelligibility is the perfect fit for our customers' needs. Not just this, the Speechline Digital system boasts automatic frequency management and interference avoidance, which coupled with the fact that it uses the less congested1.9 GHz frequency range and has a multi-room mode, makes it the complete package."
He also praised the system's ergonomic design saying, "Aesthetics also played a significant part in our decision. We felt the SL Handheld DW was visually appealing, with a striking colour scheme, and was extremely well balanced in the hand. The SL Bodypack DW is compact and sleek whilst the SL Headmic 1 is not only extremely lightweight and unobtrusive but feels far more robust than other options on the market."
Following delivery of the new system and after receiving a comprehensive training, 3db leveraged its new Speechline Digital Wireless audio system for the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature (EAFOL), for which speech intelligibility was paramount. The setup would have required over 60 channels of traditional analogue systems which would have been problematic given the close proximity of the conference halls. However, using the new system, 3db managed to reduce the RF count by 40% which reduced the risk of RF interference.
