The Audio-Technica SpectraPulse mtu201 Wireless XLR Desk Stand Transmitter was used with A-T's ES935ML Engineered Sound gooseneck microphone mounted within the conversation table in front of each candidate to pick up the audio from Senators McCain and Obama and transmit it securely, via patented ultra wideband (UWB) technology, with no interference.
A SpectraPulse Digital Receiver Module (drm141) was mounted directly above the conversation table in the lighting truss and connected to the equipment rack via a standard shielded Cat 5 cable.
Larry Estrin, of Studio City, CA-based Best Audio, serves as audio and production communications director for the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). He stated: "The SpectraPulse product performed perfectly and proved that it has significant advantages to offer, not only in the secure boardroom scenario but also in the realm of high visibility world class events like this presidential debate."
