Avlex Corporation Releases New Wideband Wireless Microphone Systems

Avlex Corporation introduces MIPRO ACT-7 Series wideband wireless microphone systems. Consisting of the MIPRO ACT-717a single channel, ACT-727a dual channel, and ACT-747a quad channel UHF receivers, the ACT-7Ta wideband UHF body-pack transmitter, and the ACT-7Ha wideband UHF handheld transmitter, the systems are designed for live performance, churches, theatre, and presentations.

The products each offer ultra-wide 216MHz bandwidth (482 - 698MHz) across three 72MHz wide bands, and provide up to 48 interference-free operating channels in band 5UA and 6UA and up to 44 interference-free operating channels in band 5US. Band 5UA and 6UA receivers offer 384 selectable preset frequencies, and band 5US receivers offer 364 selectable preset frequencies in 15 groups for quick easy set up and operation. A 16th user definable group enables users to select and save up to 16 user-defined presets choosing from 2,881 frequencies in each band. As is the case with MIPRO's ACT Series wireless systems, the company's AutoScan and Automatic Channel Targeting (ACT) channel setup technologies are present.

Additional features include PLL (phase-locked loop) synthesized RF technology with low spurious emissions and increased RF stability, third-generation RF circuitry featuring improved anti-interference characteristics and increased interference-free channel operation, and enhanced RF saturated dynamic range that decreases interference and THD. Additionally, these true diversity receivers incorporate MIPRO's PiloTone and NoiseLock circuitry to improve reception with less interference and include RF interference warning indicators. The displays are easy to read, thanks to the industry's only multi-functional full-color VFD (vacuum fluorescent display). For more control, MIPRO's RCS27 software enables real-time computer set up, control, and monitoring.

Optimized for use with the new ACT-7 Series receivers, MIPRO's ACT-7Ta wideband UHF body pack transmitter offers improved RF circuitry, with expanded 36MHz bandwidth. The transmitter's high SPL input with MIPRO's proprietary Photo-cell Coupling high dynamic range modulation circuitry further increases audio performance. Other features include selectable impedance switch for mic, guitar, or line inputs, full sensitivity potentiometer level adjustment, a silent on/off switch, ACT circuitry for easy frequency setup, and mini-XLR connectivity with a threaded bayonet attachment.

MIPRO's ACT-7HMa wideband UHF handheld transmitter completes the system. Delivering premium performance expected by today's audio professionals, the new ACT-7Ha features improved RF circuitry with expanded 36MHz bandwidth, low power consumption, extremely low handling noise, and a lockable silent on/off switch. Most importantly, the ACT-7Ha is a top performer as a result of its standard premium MU79b cardioid condenser capsule, the company says. MU89b super-cardioid true condenser or MU39b super-cardioid dynamic capsules are optionally available.

Fred Canning, national sales manager for Avlex Corporation, says, "The ACT-7 wireless microphone systems are the ideal solution to address the limited frequency bandwidth conditions that are present in many US markets. With the FCC rethinking and reallocating the frequency spectrum, it is increasingly difficult for professional users of wireless microphone systems to obtain the number of channels they need in today's crowded RF environments. With the receivers' ultra-wide 216MHz bandwidth across three 72MHz wide bands coupled with the transmitters' expanded 36MHz bandwidth, wireless users are now able to identity and lock in useable bandwidth far more easily. I'm confident audio professionals will find these new capabilities and the rich feature set of these products a compelling value."
