Shure Incorporated has introduced the FP Wireless portable wireless system.

Including portable receivers and XLR plug-on transmitters, the new system is aimed at independent videographers, electronic field production (EFP) producers,and others in the broadcast and media production industry.

‘Understanding that portability and reliability are essential for videographers and independent producers, we designed the new FP Wireless as a super lightweight and ultra-durable product that these users can depend on in even the most extreme environments,’ says Erik Vaveris, Category Director for Wireless products at Shure. ‘It also allows the user to set up quickly with just two presses of a button – the first to find a clear frequency and the second to sync with the transmitter.’

Featuring Shure’s wireless audio technologies, FP Wireless incorporates proprietary Audio Reference Companding, Automatic Frequency Selection for locating and identifying open frequencies at the touch of a button, and Automatic Transmitter Setup for instantly syncing the transmitter to the receiver frequency. FP series components include a lightweight, portable receiver and XLR plug-on, bodypack and handheld transmitters.

Units are powered by two AA batteries, giving mobility and freedom from power cords. Other features include: compatibility with up to 20 systems simultaneously, Diversity Antennas for consistent reception of signal transmission, XLR and 3.5mm cable receiver output options, single transmitter and dual transmitter system options, GSM immunity in the bodypack transmitters, and compatibility with Shure SLX Wireless components.

‘Shure has a patented predictive diversity algorithm that enables the FP5 to provide extremely reliable performance even though it is a very compact receiver,’ Vaveris adds. ‘It offers better signal stability than other single-antenna receivers. Regardless of the application and use – from reality television to event videography shoots to one-on-one interviews, all of the features combine to make FP Wireless the most rugged and reliable system in its class,’ added Vaveris.
