65Thirty Events and Entertainment staff Using Pliant MicroCom 900XR
Australia - When Lane and Candice Place, owners of Pro AV rental house 65Thirty Events & Entertainment in Western Australia were looking to upgrade the company’s wireless intercom inventory, they contacted industry expert Steve Parkins from National Audio Systems (NAS), a distributor of professional audio and video brands. Steve recommended Pliant Technologies MicroCom 900XR wireless intercom for its ease-of-use and reliability.
65Thirty’s clients include local and touring bands, concerts, conferences, and festivals that take place in and around the picturesque coastal area. Having reliable, high-quality equipment is essential to the success of their business, as the nearest large city (Perth) is over 250 miles away.
“We had been considering upgrading our intercoms for some time and when Steve (Parkins) came out and demonstrated Pliant’s MicroCom 900 XR, we were immediately impressed,” says Lane. “The belt packs are extremely well built and being so far from the city of Perth, reliability was vital. The design is simple, yet innovative, and we purchased the system.”
In addition to its reliability, the team is also impressed with the 900XR’s excellent range. “At 500ft, the system still delivers crystal clear sound, which is very impressive,” adds Lane. “At that distance, many of our older systems are unable to operate or pick up interference. The MicroCom 900XR has none of that. It is a real game changer for us.”
The MicroCom 900XR is a two-channel full-duplex multi-user wireless intercom system that operates in the 900MHz or 2.4GHz frequency bands to provide superior range and performance. The system features lightweight belt packs and provides exceptional sound quality, and long-life battery operation. In addition, MicroCom’s IP67-rated belt pack is built to endure the wear and tear of everyday use, as well as the extremes in outdoor environments
Another important feature of the MicroCom 900XR is its ability to handle wind noise. According to Lane, “Geraldton is notorious for wind, which is something that is extremely disruptive at outdoor events. The MicroCom 900XR performed so far above our expectations in the windy conditions that I was speechless. What Pliant has created with the 900XR is a product that is robust, reliable, and allows outdoor communications to not be compromised by relentless, heavy winds. The noise-cancelling technology is simply unrivalled.”
“In addition, I would like to point out how incredible the MicroCom 900XR’s battery life is. Our units operate all day on a single charge. Everything about the MicroCom is first class. We couldn’t be any happier with our MicroCom 900XR’s and are already looking to add more to our inventory.”
