QUOTES

"Uncertainty and volatility in the RF spectrum are the new reality for professional wireless users. They face increasing pressure to deliver interference- free performance in the most critical live broadcast, theatre, music and corporate events, even though conditions are more unpredictable than ever before. Shure Axient Wireless was designed from the outset to withstand interference from the analog and digital sources that exist today and will exist in the future." 

Sandy LaMantia, President and CEO of Shure Incorporated

"The Spectrum Manager functions as an air traffic controller for the system. When the receiver's Interference Detection & Avoidance feature senses interferences, the Spectrum Manager assigns a new frequency that it knows is clean. The frequency is deployed to the transmitter by the ShowLink wireless access point, and the transmitter and receiver execute a synchronized frequency change in a matter of milliseconds, making it virtually undetectable. And with Frequency Diversity enabled, there is no audible trace whatsoever."

Erik Vaveris, Category Director of Wireless Products at Shure
