Trader Vics in Madinat Jumeirah selects SLX

Trader Vics' new restaurant at the Madinat Jumeirah Resort has selected the Shure SLX Wireless system to provide a wireless microphone solution for their resident band's live performances.

The chain of restaurants, which first branched out into the Middle East on April 1994 in Abu Dhabi and later the same year at the Dubai Crowne Plaza, has increased their presence with a new outlet at the widely popular resort.

The SLX is suited for installed sound applications and working bands, by delivering superior audio quality in an easy-to-use and quickly configurable system. The receiver includes Shure's patented Audio Reference Companding technology, a technology which brings more transmission clarity and dynamic range to wireless systems than ever before. Unlike traditional wireless companding schemes that are restricted by a fixed compression ratio, this technology utilizes a variable compression ratio. This allows the SLX to eliminate wireless artifacts during quiet passages and offer superior dynamic range.

Once plugged in and powered up the SLX can be ready for use in a matter of seconds. The press of two buttons will activate the Auto Frequency Selection utility for the receiver to scan for the cleanest frequency in its range. Once this is complete, the transmitter and receiver are automatically synced using the Auto Transmitter Setup feature which uses an infrared link. With each receiver having over 960 operating frequencies across 24 MHz of UHF bandwidth, a combination of up to 20 systems (area dependent) can be quickly and easily set up.

'Once again the SLX has been chosen for its ease of operation, innovative features and great performance. Shure has developed a great solution for the installed sound market by bringing great features into such a cost effective product,' said Chicco Hiranandani, Shure Product Manager from NMK Electronics Ent.
