SABINE SWM7000 SERIES
November 2006—Sabine's true-diversity SWM7000 Series ($1,299.99 single-channel, $2,099.99 dual-channel) operates in the 2.4 to 2.483GHz ISM band, which grants access to the same 70 preprogrammed channels simultaneously. Sabine's Smart Spectrum system combines spread-spectrum filtering with a variation of FM technology for a more interference-resistant system with more simultaneous channels. Each system includes FBX Feedback Exterminator, parametric filters, Mic SuperModeling, a compressor/limiter and adaptive de-esser. The rackmount SW2-NDR receiver has two rear-mounted coaxial dipole antennae. SW70 Series handhelds use Audix OM3 or OM5 dynamic capsules or a Voice Technologies condenser. Accessories include rackmount antenna distribution for up to six receivers and a low-profile extension antenna for unobtrusive wall-mounting. Transmitter functions can be controlled from the receiver, the included Windows remote-control software, from Crestron or AMX touchscreens or any serial-based controllers. Sabine rechargeable batteries offer nine hours per charge, or the transmitter can operate for 15 hours on two AA alkaline cells.
