New wireless mics to debut at NAMM
LONDON and TORONTO, CANADA — Canadian companies Holophone and
Quantum5X have announced a strategic development partnership to develop
a new standard in handheld wireless microphone systems.
The
upcoming NAMM 2013 in Anaheim will mark the debut of the first of three
upcoming single-channel wireless systems, featuring Holophone's new
customizable handheld Super C supercardioid condenser mic.
Q5X
is a manufacturer of professional broadcast-quality wireless systems
designed for sports and live event productions. The new wireless systems
will integrate Holophone's handheld microphones with Q5X's RF
technologies.
"We are pleased and delighted to announce this
partnership," remarked Q5X president Allen Kool. "Holophone is
world-renowned for their groundbreaking surround sound audio systems,
and this alliance builds on the strengths of both companies'
technologies. Together we will be significantly raising the bar for
sonic quality and performance for wireless microphone systems."
"Q5X
is the only wireless technology manufacturer that can meet Holophone's
exacting standards for sound quality, and we're excited by the potential
of this alliance," added Holophone president and founder Michael
Godfrey. "This is a great opportunity for both our companies, but more
importantly, it's an exciting time for audio professionals. This is the
new standard in custom wireless systems."
Holophone and Q5X
will showcase the first of several handheld single channel systems in
Booth 5399 in Hall B at the NAMM show in Anaheim, California January
24-27, 2013. A series of remote control wireless microphone systems will
be introduced at April's NAB Show in Las Vegas.
