Since 2004, SeeSound has offered top professional solutions in the audiovisual market. To ensure that every project exceeds expectations, the company deploys high-quality AVL equipment, thus guaranteeing the highest standards of quality for its clients’ productions. With the mindset that the best technology and innovations are the keys to achieving this goal, SeeSound often turns to a variety of RF solutions from Wisycom. This includes the brand’s MRK16 Ultra-wideband Wireless Receiver System, MCR54 Four-channel True Diversity Wireless Microphone Receivers, MPR50 Wideband IEM Receivers and MTP60 Multiband Bodypack Transmitters.
For the theatrical touring productions of “The Phantom of the Opera” and “The Producers,” SeeSound deployed the Wisycom solutions mentioned above, in combination with the brand’s SPL2208 Wideband Active Antenna Combiner/Splitter. The result is flexible and reliable RF coverage with pristine audio. “The Wisycom wireless coverage capabilities are great, and the audio quality is one of the main strengths of this system,” says Javier G. Isequilla, Sound Designer, SeeSound. “It is extremely clear and faithful to all the changes in voice dynamics, which makes Wisycom perfect for these applications.”
While coverage and audio quality played an essential role in choosing equipment, leaving a minimal footprint was also an important aspect for Isequilla, who deploys the system with DPA Microphones’ 6060 Subminiature Lavalier Microphones. “Using the Wisycom gear, we are able to deliver all audio on a single data cable, which greatly reduces overhead costs, stage clutter in the theater and manpower to set up the system,” he continues. “For ‘The Phantom of the Opera,’ specifically, we deployed a total of 16 receiver systems along with 40 receivers, which is a lot of gear,” he explains. “We chose Wisycom because we are able to deploy just one single rack unit for this large system, which further minimizes workspace on the stage and is perfect for our needs.”
