typical application
Growing complexity of the scene, less time for setup and the demand to have the microphone instantly on-spot are common for location sets or ENG situations of today. The requirements make a wireless boom the system of choice. Allthough some manufacturers provide plug-on transmitters for this purpose, these units lack the versatility of a traditional transmitter that can also be used to quickly wire up an actor or reporter on demand.
Ambient Recording introduces the QWB and UMP II set that adresses this issue and enables a belt back to transmit the signal of any powered microphone.
The QWB resembles a mounting plate for transmitter and the mic power supply at the tip of the boom. This is a preferred position since it reduces cable clutter, allows for quick collapsing and expanding of the boom and provides a wide operation range with a minimum of interference. Due to the use of our Quickpole Standard carbon fiber tube for the mid-axis and thin aluminium for the mounting plates the construction is lightweight but very sturdy at the same time. Velcro Straps and soft pads provide quick, easy and save mountig of any common beltpack TX and the UMP II micsupply.
The UMP II was consequently designed for use on the boomtip. The case is very light and uses 2 AA cells for low weight and high energy. The autonomous supply avoids additional drain of the belt pack's batteries and thus ensures long battery lifetime plus making the unit compatible with any transmitter with mic-level input. In- and output connectors allow for individual configuration and are protected against accidental interchange. A 4 colored LED interface indicates battery status and selected powering mode that covers 12 and 48 Volt Phantom plus 12 V T-power.
