Derek H Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Any of 'the usual suspects' plan on becoming a Wisycom dealer in the near future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) <old cap> btw, there is also the matter of FCC approval... before anybody can sell them in the USA... Edited October 18, 2013 by studiomprd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudioSheik Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 You should ask Massimo. He's at AES this weekend and you can find him in our booth tomorrow for a few hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek H Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I did email Wisycom a few weeks back and never received a response. Gotham mentioned that they are still waiting on FCC approval which I'm sure has been delayed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpaul215 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Well, if he's at the Gotham booth I am going to guess they are *at least* exploring interest in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ze Frias Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I spoke to Massimo at AES. Wysicom is ready to break into market. It's FCC approved, and should be reaching the usual suspects right away. I must say I was very impressed by their wireless products. Some neat features he mentioned were: - 232 MHz bandwidth, making all blocks/channels available within single receiver or transmitter. - Dual "True-diversity" receivers, with analogue and AES3 output, DSP digital audio processing, and multicompander. - Microdot option in transmitters for DPA lav users - Transmitter (MTP40) running on 2AA batteries will last about 10 hours at 50mW output power - Transmitter (MTP40) is able to provide 48V phantom power, essentially being able to use is as a belt-clipped transmitter to which you can connect your boom microphone. Their prices seem to be VERY competitive, as they are trying to break into this market. I inquired regarding their dual channel receiver, and he mentioned that it would be under $2000 (I think $1800, but can't remember for sure). The small transmitter (MTP41) I think he said a bit over $1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek H Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Awesome. Jose, can their transmitters do 100mW or more? And can the receiver tune in Lectro digital hybrid mode transmitters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry It's difficult to believe those prices, that's seriously undercutting European prices where Wisycom are very expensive, (MTP40 more than double that) unless Wisycom have decided that the USA market is potentially large enough to seriously upset their home market. If so I'll be looking at cheap flights..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ze Frias Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 My best recommendation is to get in touch with one of the usual suspects here in the States and inquire prices directly with them. As I mentioned, I may have misunderstood Massimo in regards to prices. Price aside, we should be seeing these bad boys available soon enough, as per Massimo's enthusiastic response.

Derek H Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 And I'm not sure if the receiver can tune in Lectro digital hybrid mode transmitters. I'm almost sure they can't since it's a patented system. Figured I'd ask anyway If these systems were comparable to Lectro price-wise it would be very tempting to invest in wireless with such a large tuning bandwidth.

VM Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 EUROPE price for a tx x 2 and rx x 1 set is 6000 euros iirc... I had mine in June for 7k euros and after a long discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_bollard Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I say bring them on - having that much bandwidth is the answer to the digital tv mess. If they can make such a system work then the regular US manufacturers will be under pressure to come up with a comparable system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimPitot Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 It works and it works well. My recievers tune from 470 - 700mhz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 " And can the receiver tune in Lectro digital hybrid mode transmitters? " sure... but they might not sound right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpiegari Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 As I understood it, they will tune to Lectro transmitters operating in 200 mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Steigerwald Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I read (might have been here somewhere) that an option would be to put the Tx and Rx in Sennheiser compatibility mode and they would play nice together, though you would lose battery telemetry.

bacher Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Guys, there might be a reason Sennheiser/Lectro are not producing full-UHF tunable receivers. Try using a Motorola close to a Wisycom receiver and se what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VASI Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 What happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VM Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 " And can the receiver tune in Lectro digital hybrid mode transmitters? " You can put lectro TX in Senny mode, and Wisy RX in Senny mode. So they will worked together. A friend of mine is doing it. But I do not know how to put the Lectro TX in Senny mode (maybe with a sound tone ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacher Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 What happens? As the front end of the receivers must be very "open" to facilitate the wide tuning area, it seems that they are quite sensitivite to out of band RF signals, like UHF walkie-talkies or in-band RF noise from LED walls etc. So you get noise burst from walkies. Also the DSP emulation of the companders are not very accurate according to a very competent RF guy i know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
