Sennheiser Introduces D1000 Digital Wireless
Microphone System
 July 26, 1999 Rolf Meyer, President of the Sennheiser Group, and Alan Needham, President
of X-Wire Digital Wireless Systems, announced a cooperation in the area
of digital wireless transmission, resulting in the latest innovation in
this area: the Digital 1000 Wireless Microphone System. Designed for the
USA market, this unit will be distributed and manufactured by Sennheiser,
and is guaranteed to deliver the famed quality sound Sennheiser users
expect.
The Sennheiser Digital 1000 Wireless Microphone System is a four-channel
user-selectable unit, operating at 900 MHz ISM frequency band. Internally
mounted antennae operate in two independent diversity receiver sections.
The digital circuitry of the system eliminates the need for a compander
and the audio degradation commonly associated with it. Inputs for optional
external antennae accommodate extended range applications. The use of
one 9-volt battery makes the transmitter small and lightweight. With extremely
low noise, this transmitter including a 1/2 rack space unit receiver is
priced at USD 895.00.
"This introduction puts Sennheiser in the forefront of digital wireless
microphone technology," said Joe Ciaudelli, Sennheiser's Director
of Marketing. "We recognized the need for quality digital audio transmission,
took the steps to incorporate the finest technologies into this design,
and are now poised to deliver the first digital wireless microphone system
of this caliber in the marketplace."
Targeted to the MI market, the Digital 1000 Wireless system will be
available in three versions: handheld, body pack and instrument. Units
will begin shipping in the Spring of 1999.
Established in 1945 in Wedemark, Germany, Sennheiser is the acknowledged
world leader in microphone technology, RF-wireless and infrared sound
transmission, headphone transducer technology, and most recently in the
development of active noise-cancellation. For more information,
