New in Rentals: Neutrik Xirium Pro

by Brian Grahn, Sales/Marketing

 For questions regarding other wireless point-to-point solutions, contact our rental team at 847.367.9588 or rentals@tcfurlong.com.

TC Furlong Inc. has recently added Neutrik’s Xirium Pro wireless point-to-point system to its extensive rental inventory of wireless devices.  Xirium Pro allows users to eliminate long cable runs with a rugged and easily configured wireless link.

Xirium Pro consists of a network of devices linked together, including a transmitter, receivers, specialty antennas, optional repeaters, and management software.  Operating in the 5.0 GHz band, the TX base unit transmits 2 channels of compression-free, 24-bit / 48 kHz digital audio, and a single transmitter can be linked to several receivers to wirelessly distribute audio over a large area.

Repeaters can be added to the system to extend range, or overcome walls, corners and other obstacles.  Repeaters also add a second, redundant audio source to the system, creating a true diversity system for even more reliable reception. For more difficult RF environments, the XROC (Extreme Ruggedized One Channel) feature helps eliminate any opportunity for interference to affect the audio signal.

Xirium device housings are IP54 rated and include an internal Li-Ion battery pack that provides approximately 10 hours of battery life. TX and RX bases employ modular cards that feature flexible I/O options, including analog line, AES/EBU and Dante.  All devices in a system can be consolidated using the built-in 2.4 GHz antennas and a wireless access point.  Once synced to the network, control of all device parameters can be accessed through the free Xirium Pro app.

Neutrik’s Xirium Pro wireless point-to-point system is a great alternative to long cable runs to delay towers and other hard to reach locations.  For more information on the system, visit the Xirium Pro website.

 TC Furlong sells Neutrik Xirium products along with other major audio brands.  For questions about purchasing a Xirium Pro system or anything from our list of over 100 professional audio manufacturers, contact our Sales Team at 847-367-9588 or sales@tcfurlong.com.

New In Rentals: EAW MW12 MicroWedges

By Oz, Sales/Marketing

MW12 Blog

TC Furlong Inc. has added EAW MicroWedges to its extensive rental inventory of loudspeakers and monitor wedges.  The EAW MW12s are coaxial monitor wedges pairing a 12-inch woofer with a 3-inch voice-coil compression driver. Together, these provide full yet controlled 90-degree conical dispersion.

The coaxial design means that all frequencies emanate from the same point, making crossover region problems and time/phase irregularities virtually non-existent. It also allows the wedge to have an incredibly low-profile footprint.

The MW12 wedge has selectable full range or bi-amped modes. The port on the front of the cabinet enhances LF response in coupling with the floor and houses both the carrying handle and passive/active mode switch, as well as two NL4 connectors. The concealed connectors allow the wedges to be placed as close together as desired. Additional cable can be stored in the port without impacting LF response.

The MW12 features:

  • Highly coherent coaxial design (12-inch woofer)
  • Enhanced fidelity and power handling
  • Upgraded transducers and crossover design
  • Switchable full range/bi-amp modes
  • Convenient input connector location
  • Sturdy balance for console bridge monitor use

Our intention with this investment is to expand our substantial inventory of passive, conventionally powered, full range wedges, and standardize on the MW12. TC Furlong Inc. also has upwards of fifty bi-amped and self-powered wedges in rental stock.

For more information about adding our new EAW MW12 MicroWedges to your next rental, please contact our rental team at 847-367-9588, or rentals@tcfurlong.com.
