The freePort receiver.
Germany / UK - High-quality wireless microphone systems do not have to be expensive, say Sennheiser, following the launch of the three freePort systems that Sennheiser electronic GmbH & Co KG launched at ProLight+Sound in Frankfurt recently - 'Vocal', 'Instrument' and 'Presentation' versions. All three systems allow four switchable frequencies to be operated simultaneously, ensuring high transmission reliability and flexibility. "freePort offers outstanding quality at a tremendously low price," says Michael Polten, industry team manager for the Music Industry at Sennheiser. "The systems can be operated without licensing and without a fee in many European countries."

All three have a diversity receiver installed in a sturdy metal housing, ensuring optimum reception. A dynamics processor provides the freePort systems with a wonderfully clear and natural sound. All systems are fitted with XLR and jack plug outputs. They also feature an adjustable squelch to protect against interference. The three systems are all able to cope with even the longest of performances, say Sennheiser: a 9V battery provides more than 10 hours' continuous operation.

The 'Vocal' system includes a hand-held transmitter with a dynamic capsule and a receiver. The transmitter is comfortable to hold and provides a lively and assertive sound. Sturdiness, high quality sound and wide dynamics are the main features of the 'Instrument' system: it consists of a bodypack transmitter with a jack plug cable and a receiver and is ideally suited for electric guitars and all other instruments with a jack plug socket. Finally, the 'Presentation' set ensures maximum speech comprehensibility during lectures, presentations and theatre performances. The system includes a bodypack transmitter, a receiver and an inconspicuous clip-on microphone with an omni-directional pick-up pattern, say the company.
