Touring with Italian singer/songwriter Cesare Cremonini, sound/monitor/FOH engineer and RF coordinator Gianluca Bertoldi chose a Wisycom wireless system to meet the challenges associated with a large live touring show.
Bertoldi’s IEM system comprised an MTK952 Wideband Dual Transmitter, MPR50-IEM Wideband Receiver and CSI16T Wideband Combiner, which proved especially beneficial for the tour’s four large stadium shows and 23 arena concerts across Italy. In addition, Bertoldi complemented his Wisycom gear with third-party antennas, transmitters and receivers.
‘The Wisycom transmission compander is awesome and the headphone amp in the receiver is amazing,’ Bertoldi reports. ‘I’ve never heard a sound so detailed, like in this IEM system. If you add the power of transmission, the wide range in frequency, the ease of coordination and all the “plus” features, it’s clearly the best package for live performances on the market today. As far as I’m concerned, there is no comparison —now, I always only want to use Wisycom.’
Bertoldi first used Wisycom in 2017 with Italy’s national public broadcasting company, RAI, at Modena Park for a concert by singer Vasco Rossi. From that point, he has used Wisycom whenever he has the opportunity.
Included in the set-up is Wisycom’s MPR50-IEM wideband receiver – a compact, true-diversity receiver for professional in-ear monitoring applications. With FM stereo mode for MPX decoding; mix-mode and frequency scan functionality; and automatic programming through infrared and micro-USB, the MPR50-IEM provides all the elements necessary for a high-stress touring environment.
The receiver also has an OLED display, dedicated function buttons and the option of an AA battery pack or rechargeable lithium pack.
The IEM receivers were also complemented by Wisycom’s versatile MTK952 Wideband Dual Transmitter, which functions in a huge UHF (330MHz) bandwidth with narrowband modulation and very high-quality and low spurious emissions.
The MTK952 provides flexibility use of 2,400 user-defined frequencies, and a reference in/out for ISO-frequencies or multiple coverage zones, making it system equally suited to small sets and large-scale arenas.
