Wisycom’s new MATF Wideband Antenna Matrix, designed for complex, multi‑zone wireless infrastructures and RF over Fiber deployments, supports both coaxial and fiber inputs. It also consolidates multiple rack‑based components into a single, highly flexible unit capable of combining up to eight RF zones in diversity. There are four coaxial outputs that act as either four equal buffered outputs in 8:1 or two equal buffered outputs in the 4:2 setup, which allows more receivers to be connected without the need for additional splitters.

With a wide operating range of 170–1,260 MHz, integrated ultra‑fast Frequency Spectrum Analyzer, remote‑controllable antenna modules and Ethernet‑based system management, the MATF provides unmatched configurability for CAR/CER‑based installations, OB units, TV stations and large‑venue productions. The MATF is available in four configurations, which allows integrators to select the version that best fits their architectural and operational needs.

Wisycom has also begun shipping its new PFL Portable RFoF Box, a rugged, quick‑deploy solution designed for high‑demand broadcast, OB, location sound and live production environments. The unit delivers true diversity over fiber with a dual converter architecture, Ethernet connectivity for remote control or Dante workflows and a Neutrik opticalCON DUO interface, all operable via both mains and a V‑lock battery power source, commonly found in effects camera equipment.

Each enclosure includes dual N‑connectors, integrated power management with temperature‑controlled cooling and protected I/O for field reliability. The portable box comes in three main versions — two for wireless microphone diversity pick-up and one for IEM/IFB applications. Beyond extending the placement of antennas in remote zones from 100m (330 feet) to several kilometers (or miles), the boxes also carry additional signals over the fibers. This includes effects Gigabit Ethernet that can be used to extend signals, such as FX Data, Dante, Shure ShowLink® and Sound Devices NexLink return channel information. The RF over Fiber solutions can also be used with most other wireless microphone systems.

“With the new MPR60 receiver, MATF antenna matrix and PFL Box, we’re giving our customers powerful new tools to manage increasingly complex RF environments,” says René Moerch, group product director, Wisycom. “These solutions were engineered for the world’s most demanding productions where efficiency, flexibility and RF robustness are absolutely critical.”

CLEVELAND—“Fear the Walking Dead,” a spinoff of AMC’s original series “The Walking Dead,” explores the early days of the zombie apocalypse from a new angle, offering fresh characters, locations and narrative challenges. The show takes a Los Angeles-based family and drops them into the terrifying unknown, forcing them to navigate a world quickly spiraling into chaos.

For those of us behind the scenes, this means meeting the creative ambition of the series with equal technical innovation. As the show evolved, so did our production requirements—especially in the audio department.

As a proud member of the Cinema Audio Society (CAS) and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), I am deeply committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in production sound. I constantly seek out solutions that deliver clarity, reliability and flexibility, especially on complex sets. That’s exactly what I found with Wisycom’s fiber system: simply put, it’s a game-changer. The zero signal loss, consistent clarity and adaptability in a range of shooting conditions have completely transformed how I operate on set.

RF Without Boundaries
On “Fear the Walking Dead,” we often faced unique production challenges such as wide establishing shots, mobile camera work and set designs that demand cart placement far from the action. Traditional RF systems struggle under these conditions; the further you run coaxial cable, the more signal degradation you encounter. I needed something that wouldn’t compromise on performance no matter the terrain or distance.

That’s where Wisycom’s BFLT2 and BFLR2 RF-over-fiber modules came into play. Paired with dual-diversity antennas and tactical fiber, I was able to extend my reach to nearly 1,000 feet without any signal loss or compromise in audio quality. The system is completely plug-and-play and brand-agnostic, which means I can integrate it seamlessly with any equipment I’m using. That level of versatility is rare and incredibly valuable in the fast-paced world of film and TV production.

One particular moment that stands out to me was when we needed to capture audio from a valley with antennas placed high on a hill. What would have taken hundreds of feet of coaxial cable, active antennas and calculations for gain stages to overcome signal loss was now accomplished with a single 150-foot run, no gain required. With filters in place and Camplex-tough tactical fiber cables running through the mud, the RF system performed flawlessly. This was another mission success.

Another example involved placing the cart around the corner of a large building, with no line of sight. Again, the Wisycom system delivered flawless RF signals, proving its reliability regardless of location or physical barriers.

Advances in Control
What also sets this system apart are its advanced control and integration features. From my cart, I can monitor and adjust settings via Bluetooth or Ethernet. That means I can change the gain, assign channel names and manage frequencies without leaving my sound rig. It gives me full visibility and control—no guesswork, no running back and forth.

The affordability and ease of use make this a compelling option not just for high-end productions but for sound mixers across the board. I’ve been so impressed that I regularly share my experiences with fellow professionals, including renowned mixers and other sound experts at industry events like NAB Show. I’ve had colleagues stop me just to ask how I’m achieving such clean results in tough locations. The answer is always Wisycom.

For anyone serious about audio in production, especially in the unpredictable conditions of modern filmmaking, the Wisycom wireless fiber system is more than just a tool—it’s a solution. For me, it’s one I now consider essential on every set.

One of biggest complaints with sound recording is dealing with the cables. Enter wireless technology, usually bringing its own set of interference problems. That, however, is a thing of the past with Wisycom’s MTP40S-USX UHF Wideband Bodypack Transmitter and the MPR30 Wideband ENG Receiver. Attach an omni-directional lavaliere microphone and you can begin capturing great sound.

FEATURES

Comprised of two key components—the MTP40S transmitter and the MPR30ENG receiver—Wisycom has created a small but powerful wireless combo. My review MTP40S transmitter came with a Sanken SAN-11DPTBK1.8 black omni-directional lavaliere microphone. Powered by two AA batteries housed under the front cover, the top has an on/off selector as well as a microphone and antenna connection.

MTP40S

The ENG receiver, also powered by two AA batteries, has an organic liquid crystal display directly above the front cover. Pressing the PWR/EXIT button activates the OLED receiver screen with a battery’s charge, channel use, frequency, and line level. Also on the front are sync, scan, and menu select buttons. The menu button opens a sub menu with headphone level; edit Rx, setting, and infrared. A green LED on the left reminds you that the unit is powered on and a red LED on the left indicates your RF signal. The top features two (A, B) antenna ports, a mini-plug headphone jack, and an AF out jack. The backside on my review unit featured a hotshoe camera mount.

One of the best features of these units is the wide bandwidth (up to 232 MHz) in the 470/952 MHz range. The transmitter is automatically programed using infra red and the outputs are balanced.

The channels are also switchable if you are located in an area with a lot of RF traffic. With 40 groups of 60 channels, that gives the user 2,400 frequencies. Using AA batteries, the user can expect between three and a half to four and a half hours of operation on the receiver and up to 14 hours on the transmitter.

IN USE

I was anxious to receive my Wisycom unit as I had a complicated sound situation where only a hidden, wireless microphone would work. Having reviewed the specifications on line, I knew it should be capable in theory as we would be shooting in an area when our university’s wireless units seldom functioned properly. Without going into all of the technical details of frequency, my main concern was if I was going to get clean audio. The technical data on these microphones is quite impressive, but real world functionality was my main concern.

As promised, the unit fired up with a push of the power button on the receiver and a flip of the toggle switch on the transmitter. Needing to get clean audio in a moving vehicle, the sound person couldn’t sit in the back seat and monitor the sound because it would have been visible on camera. For this particular shoot, the lavaliere microphone was hidden in the car’s passenger side visor and the receiver was 80 feet away in another vehicle. In less than 30 seconds, we were recording clean audio, no interference. Wireless systems usually rely on line of sight. If the transmitter can’t see the receiver, you might have issues. Not only did the transmitter have to send the signal through the glass and metal of the actor’s car, but we also needed to receive it in another vehicle. When I attempted this with another wireless system, too many dropouts made the audio unusable.

The next scene required us to follow the talent from a busy sidewalk, into a brick and steel building, through a maze of drywall corridors, all while the actress was talking and the camera was following her on a stabilizer. Not wanting to get another set of footsteps reverberating off the interior walls, the sound crew remained outdoors leaving only the two actors and camera operator walking inside. The director viewed the LCD monitor via a wireless transmitter in video village and the sound crew was next to him utilizing the Zoom recorder.

MPR30

As the actors walked and talked through the hallways, not once did we lose or experience sound problems created by interference or metal objects in the walls. We did lose our video signal to the monitor multiple times, but the sound was perfect the entire time. I tried to watch the info on the OLED on the receiver to see if it was changing channels or frequencies, however, I had a difficult time seeing it because of the tiny numbers. It didn’t really matter what the unit was doing as long as the set-up continued to work.

SUMMARY

Throughout the shoot, we had no problems with audio because of equipment malfunction. The students, who were assisting on my shoot, asked to use the system on their final projects. That’s a great testimonial for Wisycom.

The only drawback to the system is its price; a bit steep for our university’s budget. If audio is your business, the old adage is true, you get what you pay for. I would give two thumbs up to Wisycom for this wireless system. It never let me down.
