Scooping the Award over 11 other distributors in Europe, Orbital has fused its expertise and experience over the past year to deliver the DX wireless intercom series, which comprises the DX 200 and DX 100, to the UK's broadcast, live performance and installed sound markets.
The DX 200 was Awarded The ABTT Theatre Show's 'Best New Sound and Comms Product' in 2005. Boasting a 2.4 Ghz license free operation, its advanced digital design offers crystal-clear interference free two-way communications.
Its potential and ease of use has proved invaluable across a variety of applications. The DX200 has been embraced by organisations as diverse as Rose Bruford College, Rambert Dance Company, Westminster Live Broadcast and St Mary's Primary School in Welwyn and MTV Europe. In addition it has been deployed on a number of touring theatre productions including Footloose and Anything Goes as well as featuring as part of the systems' design of Chicago.
Plus the DX 200 is compatible with all two and four wire ring intercom systems and can be integrated into existing installations with a minimum of fuss.
The recently launched DX 100 battery powered base station also offers enormous potential to provide seamless communications across a host of application environments and handles the challenges OB work, on location or in the studio admirably.
The DX 100 allows up to 15 people to speak to each other via headsets without any connecting cables. Much more efficient than walkie-talkies, it boasts an expandable system design, which comes complete to offer reliable and cost effective operation across a variety of leisure build projects, conferencing, theatre and live events.
Sales director John Kowalski says: "Orbital Sound did a fantastic job representing HME in the market last year. Their success with the DX series affirms their position as the leading source for wireless communications in the region. We're proud to have them as our distributor in the UK and look forward to future successes."
Orbital's head of sales Tom Byrne added: "We are honoured to have won this award - the DX series really has proved itself across a gamut of application environments and we feel is set to become an industry standard. We are very excited about the launch of the WH 200 ComLink, which is the first of its kind offering a complete comms system in a headset! For those users who find the belt pack and the headset cable always get in the way the ComLink will be a popular addition to the HME range."
The DX series and the new ComLink will feature as part of Orbital's showcase at the forthcoming ABTT Theatre Show 14-15 June, Royal Horticultural Halls, London.
