Coda Audio Services upgrades to Shure PSM 1000

AUSTRALIA: Coda Audio Services recently traded its Shure PSM 600 for Shure PSM 1000 personal monitor systems; a move described by managing director Michael Wilkie as ‘more than advantageous.’ Jands distributed the PSM 1000 systems.
‘We went from a non-flexible frequency situation to one where you can switch everything around and select whatever frequency you want,’ said Mr Wilkie. ‘The diversity system is very good and means you're much less likely to get drop-outs on stage. The PSM 600s had that HA and HB so it was complicated from an inventory point of view – you could accidently send out the wrong transmitter for the receiver – whereas now everything is the same so you're just hiring out a system.’
Mr Wilkie said that ‘one of the huge advantages of having the Shure PSM 1000 is that we have a lot of the Shure UR Series radio microphones; the PSM 1000 transmitters and the radio mic receivers will talk to each other on a point to point set up. So if you have to do a wireless signal link from one place to another, instead of having at one end a tiny battery operated transmitter you now have a proper transmitter and a proper receiver at each end going into the mains power. An additional aerial improves the transmission/reception situation.
‘Now you can monitor everything properly and we've had great success with the PSM 1000,’ he concluded. ‘It's so much better than what we had before.’
