Having scooped the ABTT 2005 Sound & Comms Product of the Year Award in June, the DX200 has built on its immediate success in the UK, already being deployed by Orbital on UK theatre tours, including Beauty and the Beast, Chicago and Thoroughly Modern Millie. In addition to its 2.4GHz license-free operation, the DX200 provides crystal clear, secure and interference-free communications, say Orbital.
The system is compatible with all 2- and 4-wire ring intercom systems and can be easily integrated into existing installations. A standard DX200 system comes with a base station and four full-duplex belt packs, but up to 15 belt packs per systems can be accommodated for more users. Two base stations can be linked to easily double the number of belt pack users. Other innovations include remote mic unlatch and voice prompts for beltpack users. Adding to its practical design, beltpack remotes are powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion cell, which lasts up to 20 hours.
HME's sales manager, John Kowalski, says: "The PLASA Show is a tremendous opportunity to present the HME line of wireless communications equipment to the live event, entertainment, and installed sound markets. We're excited about being here for the first time with Orbital and look forward to a great showing".
Orbital and HME can be found on stand EE6.
