Founded in 1950, the Beijing Film Academy is at the heart of China’s burgeoning film industry and is currently the only institution of its kind in China’s higher education system. Highly regarded for its contributions to the art of film, numerous graduates of the academy have won international acclaim for their work.

In recognition of the academy’s achievements and to foster more opportunity for the students, a special ceremony on campus saw Lectrosonics equipment donated to its sound recording department.

Coordinated through Beijing’s Dingrun Tong Tech Limited and Los Angeles-based More Technologies, a variety of Lectrosonics wireless microphone systems were presented to the academy, including a Venue receiver system stocked with four VRS receiver modules, MM400B water-resistant miniature beltpack transmitters, UM400 beltpack transmitters, UM400A beltpack transmitters and two UCR411a compact receivers. All of the equipment employs Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid Wireless technology, which uses a proprietary algorithm to encode 24-bit digital audio information with no compression and low distortion into an analogue format that can be transmitted over an analogue FM wireless link.

‘As an agency for Lectrosonics, we feel very honored to introduce your products to the teachers and students at the Beijing Film Academy,’ saud Dingrun Tong Tech Limited’s Jessie Zhou. ‘Lectrosonics has become Hollywood’s preferred brand because of the high-quality, good performance, and reasonable price of your products, and I am confident this equipment will serve as a solid foundation for future Lectrosonics users.’

‘Thank you, Lectrosonics, for your generosity in presenting China film students – and just as importantly, their instructors – the sound gear that will set their standards high,’ More Technologies’ Randy Powell responded. ‘The opportunity to work with much of the same equipment that Hollywood’s top sound techs use will serve as tremendous motivation for everyone at the Beijing Film Academy Sound Recording Department.’
